"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is welcoming back its original cast member. In the latest episode which aired on Tuesday, February 21, Team Coulson was inundated with LMDs. Daisy and Simmons, the only team members not turned into LMDs, entered the Framework to rescue their comrades.
The Framework is a Matrix-like construct that Aida is using to imprison the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents without them realizing they're not actually in the real world. In this world, Hydra reigns supreme and Daisy is dating Ward (Brett Dalton).
Although the late Hydra agent-turned-Hive vessel wasn't shown in the episode, ABC confirms Dalton's return with a teaser video. In the short clip, the actor is seen holding a script labeled "Identity and Change" that hides his face before he is called off to set.
Executive producer Jed Whedon also confirms the return of Dalton in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "We figured when you get dropped into an alternate reality, what better way to show that it might not be everything you imagined than the return of one of our most loved and most hated characters. Also, we wanted to have Brett back. We missed him," he says.
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." will return Tuesday, April 4 at 10 P.M. ET on ABC.
