ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Are you setting up Secret Warriors for next season?
JEFFREY BELL: I would say setting up is perhaps an over statement. Certainly we’re tipping our hat to a woman named Daisy Johnson talking to Coulson about a secret group of powered people.
Simmons has disappeared! What happened to her?
Oh, this weird alien rock seemed to dissolve and consume her and come back together. No one was more shocked about that than us. [Laughs]

The episode ends with a Contagion-esque sequence showing how the Terrigen Mist is spread through ocean life. Is the Diviner metal dissolved out or will the fish/fish oils be lethal to those that don’t have the Inhuman gene?
We have to watch and find out. To say too much would spoil the fun. We definitely see the mist, whether it’s the old-school mist or the one with the metal one, we need to wait and see.
Ward (Brett Dalton) has been in the background this season. What was the decision to make him take over Hydra? Does he blame SHIELD for Kara’s death?
Yes, he does blame SHIELD for Kara’s death. God forbid he ever take responsibility for anything he’s ever done. For us it’s been a real journey for Ward. He started off as Garrett’s (Bill Paxton) right-hand and was always a guy who looked to someone else to tell him what to do. This season was him coming to terms with his past, finding closure, and in a sense forgiving himself. And then he goes off about getting together with the old team and he talks about how much he regrets what happened and he wishes he could be with the old team again. After the events of the last couple of episodes, that seems to all go out the window and going back to Hydra, the fact that he says he misses being part of the team, is a big clue to how he’s feeling. In the past he had no personal agenda against Coulson (Clark Gregg) or the team. It feels like everything between Ward and SHIELD next year will be very personal.

There will be a time jump going into Season 3
The "Agents of SHIELD" writers are currently putting together their plan for Season 3, and as it stands right now they're planning for some sort of time jump between the end of Season 2 and where they pick up again. They just haven't decided just how much time is going to be used up in that transition.
"It behooves us to have a little bit of time, rather than picking things right up. It allows people to be fresh for Season 3, so you won't necessarily have had to watch the end of Season 2 for an entry point," Bell says. "Whether it's a week or a month or a few months, in general a bit of time allows you to reset [and] put characters into [the show] in a new way. That worked really well for us coming into this season. I suspect we'll do something similar next year."
