Just curious, but is it bugging anyone else that Kora is introduced as being too powerful and unable to control her power, then 10 minutes with Nate and she is suddenly having zero issues? Jiaying has been able to help pretty much everyone else, but had completely given up on her and was seeking a way to take away her powers with it being implied the alternative was killing her. Of course, Nate also seems to have none of the issues Skye did.

We might get a clear answer in the next episode, but, for now, I would not assume that Kora spent only a few minutes with Nathaniel before the tag scene in "As I Have Always Been." Also, "After, Before" suggested that psychological issues have a single and very specific cause and are easily resolved as soon as that cause is identified. My guess is that Kora felt guilty about having a destructive superpower, with Li's guilt trips not helping. Nathaniel accepted and even valued Kora's powers. In this simplistic view of psychology, that may have been enough.
What I am worried about is that Kora is being groomed into being Ruby Hale II. I hope that Kora becomes a more interesting character.
In "Adapt or Die," Nathaniel was having many of the issues that Skye did. In fact, many people believed that the issues were fatal. In the seven years that followed, he had plenty of time to adjust, especially with his money and Whitehall's guidance.

I find it difficult to believe that anyone from the Team is going to kill Daisy's sister. *If* she dies, it will be at the hands of Nate. More than that, I think Daisy will turn her to the light side. Nate's still gotta die a slow and horrible death, though.
I do suspect that there's more to Daisy calling the Team her "family" and Enoch's meaning to the "Nature of Family" and "end of the Team" than meets the eye. A lot of people at the start of the series said the series was Skye's, maybe that's how they're going to end it, a resolution to Skye/Daisy's story where sis lives and Mom doesn't go on the warpath against humanity.
Hmmm... Jiaying and Cal still have to meet and bump lemons, don't they?  |

Seems rather hypocritical of Li, considering his knife conjuring power certainly has limited applications. There's only so many times there will be a person who needs to borrow a knife to open a package they got in the mail or a birthday present. Those knives are for hurting people.
Anyone else get a bit of a Summer Glau vibe from either the character of Kora or the actress playing her?

By Ruby Hale II, I was thinking more along the lines of a young woman who was being groomed to view Daisy as a rival. My main concern was that Ruby was poorly written and poorly acted. I do not want to see another such character. It would not shock me if Nathaniel kills Kora once she outlives her usefulness to him. I can also see Kora's mother or half sister being forced to do the deed if necessary, as Cal ended up killing Jiaying when necessary. Seems rather hypocritical of Li, considering his knife conjuring power certainly has limited applications. There's only so many times there will be a person who needs to borrow a knife to open a package they got in the mail or a birthday present. Those knives are for hurting people. I do not think that Li objected to Kora having a weaponized power. I think that Li objected to Kora not being able to control her power. |
