One thing we know for sure about new Ward..
The one thing we know for sure about "Hydra" Ward and "Shield" Ward. He cares/loves Skye. When Lorelei got into his brain he couldn't lie to her or himself any longer, he admitted he had feelings for her. When Skye was shot that was real emotion and real anger at the clairvoyant. I think he shot Nash because he couldn't shoot Garrett. Then in the newest episode he was inraged with Garrett about shooting her and about having to shed blood on what was suppose to be an info gathering mission not a killing mission. Then yet again when Garrett told him he had 24 hours to get the password from her or kill her, he didn't look all that compliant.
He seems to be the best and most honest version of himself with Skye, he might owe Garrett but Skye has his heart and I think that will be the deciding factor in the end which will prob be the season finally. I admit though if they kill or make Ward the bad guy permanently I wont be as inclined to be as big a fan as I am now. Ward is my fav character, next to Skye and Coulson and I ship Skyeward 4ever.
