With Ward's exposure as a HYDRA agent there is buzz to see how Season 1 will end: will Ward be killed for saving Skye or will he escape to serve HYDRA full on? My guess for the season finale:  Garret will die, Quinn will be done in by his own invention (Gravitonium), and Raina, in exchange for her cooperation, would get immunity and be brought on board for the new agency that replaces S.H.I.E.L.D. (Didn't S.H.I.E.L.D.'s recruitment of WWII HYDRA scientists is what lead to the current mess?  Those that do not learn from history are destined to repeat it.)  Ward is apprehended and faces multiple murder charges and anything else the U.S. attorney hits him with. But Ward would not be prosecuted:  one, S.H.I.E.L.D. has a black eye with the public with its actions, a trial will make things worse. Can you see May and Skye getting on the stand and admitting they had intimacies, in varying degrees, with a HYDRA agent? It would morph into a sex scandal. Fury will reach out from the grave, contact a trusted friend to get the charges dropped and bring him in the new agency. (Again, see point about Raina.)  Otherwise, this keeps Ward around and brings friction with his old colleagues. Thoughts?
