So the bit I'm left wondering about is why Daisy didn't actually lead everyone off base, and therefore give Hive three more followers under the pretense of keeping the team safe. She had the perfect opportunity to do that instead of lead them into the containment trap.
And Hive knows the Daisy name by nature of knowing everything Daisy knows. But I guess whatever's left of Ward just doesn't care to call her that.
I think the way to look at it is that she isn't Hive per se, but as a drone she retains a sense of self, but her free will and desires are more or less skewed into devotion of Hive.
Basically nothing at all like how Myriad worked on Supergirl.
