Ward attempted to burn down the house with Christian in it, which resulted in him being sent to jail to be tried as adult and recruited by Garret. He just recently killed his parents by burning down their house.
Obscure Easter egg time:
Anybody else notice that the tech Hydra was using to open the portal looks a lot like Stark's Sonic Cannons from The Incredible Hulk?
Coulson jumping into the portal from the Quinjet was pretty awesome. I was expecting Hunter to follow.
The original team's analysis on Ward was great. Fitz was essentially Ward's younger brother, and Simmons obviously admired him. Daisy acknowledges that her and Ward are kindred spirits with how they grew up, but doesn't lose sight that he became a monster.
"It's not that he doesn't feel anything, it's that he feels too much" seems like a good description of Ward's motivations.
Sucks that Rosalind is gone. The show is packed with characters already, but I feel like she would've been a nice addition to the cast. Their chemistry was great. Her death being the catalyst to Coulson's hunt for Ward absolutely works. RIP Coulsalind.
Coulson naming Mack as Acting Director of SHIELD makes plenty of sense. He has no ties to Ward at all. Him, Joey, and Lincoln seem to be the only ones with no ties at all.
Fantastic episode overall, as has been the norm this season.

rewatched the scene. The brother says: "Grant was 17 when he burned my parents' house down, with Christian inside. Ever since, I've made sure to give him a pretty wide berth."
So I guess they either retconned it or just didn't care ¯\_(ツ
That's some Obi-Wan levels of misdirection.

Looks like he's passing an epic turd
Poor Fitz
Can't unsee, thank you :/
Whatever it was, it wasn't the taste of vanilla.
Add some fitting music and you're 100% right.
Coulson needs a Wolfdog and more cigars.
Because of her starring in (the amazing) UnReal I've wondered how long she'd really be able to stick around so while I'm super bummed they killed her, I think I was prepared to lose her.
Ward had been repeatedly targeting romantic interests, he's done it 4 times in the last season and a half. (Bobbi, Dr. Andrews, Ros, Simmons)
yeah and it's a pretty weak comparison.
Discount Director of Shield deserves discount rescue by Discount Dwayne Johnson.
