First let me say that I love the Melinda May character, she is on the list of 3 women with whom my wife would not leave me alone with, but after seeing the preview, for the next Agents of SHIELD episode to air, I think it is clear that my lady, May, is in trouble.
In the trailer we see Coulson in a state of mind that we have not seen him before. We see him holding Hunter by the throat and angrily telling Hunter that he had given him the job of taking out Ward and he had missed. Now what could have Coulson in such a state? What could cause him to hurt so badly that he goes after Ward himself? I think the answer is tied to the statement to Hunter. Hunter has missed his target and that has cost him something dear. A very high cost.
At first I thought it may have been Rosalind, but I don't think that the response would be so strong. We know that Coulson cares for May and considers her his right hand. We know that Ward really wants to hurt the head of SHIELD and if he can't take out Coulson the next best thing would be, the woman who got him to kill agent 33.
Now I could be completely wrong but there is one more thing. May is nowhere to be seen in that trailer. I don't want it to be true, but I think May will be seriously injured or killed by Ward and that will prompt Coulson to go after him, himself.
What are your thoughts on what drives Coulson to take the point on getting Ward?
