Season 5 is the season of everyone being at each others necks. Daisy and Fitz. Daisy and Yo Yo. Fitz and Mac. Have one of them throw a chair and we got ourselves a recipe for disaster.

1:04 May came in with that gunshot like a boss👏

[superkoosable]

Yo yo has seen her future self. A future in which she is murdered, brought back to live for over 7 decades. Tortured beyond believe. And she knows she will loose Mack. And everything around her indicates it will happen. Give her break. Of course she is going getting desperate, frustrated and angry. Would make no sense if she didn't.

Why is this season so against Daisy everyones demanding of her and also against her at the same time? all i'm hearing is daisy this daisy that.... first of all she didnt want to get back to the past coulson forced her, then yoyo blames her? tells her she shouldn't have come wtf. then fitz drugged and forced her into getting her powers back and people still be hating on daisy bcuz she quaked him like he didnt even ask. Then after she was tasked to lead, yoyo and fitzsimmons went behind her back like immediately, they didnt even show her any support only mack and may did.... Definitely my faves this season are May, Daisy, Mack and Coulson

[natalynataly]

Let's be honest people were only mad at Yoyo for killing Ruby only because Dove Cameron was playing her

[khlo]

Ok I understand why people are taking Daisy’s side but I’m on Yoyo’s. She’s literally the only person trying to prevent the future from happening and it turns out she was right in the end. Everyone is focused on saving one man when they have a chance to save a million others. Yo-yo was the only one willing to take that risk.

[mjxshlm]

I guess I am one of a handful of people who don't hate Yoyo

[CustomMade]

Okay first yoyo says Daisy should have stayed in the future, then she gets mad because she wasn't there for the fight when she was getting her butt kicked, now she saying Daisy is going to get everyone killed make up your mind. I'm with May either find a way to help or leave.

[blackmamba]

I think May should be the one to lead...

[bifa]

I'm sure of one thing - Yoyo HATES Daisy.

There is literally an alien invasion but Yoyo prefer to bother Daisy, start a fight, blame her for something which was more Yoyo's fault (kinda like Ward) and use her powers against Daisy to steel her bag. Yoyo was angry that Coulson didn't left Daisy in the future.

Yoyo is blaming Daisy for literally everything:
- Talbot kidnapped Couslon -> Yoyo is blaming Daisy
- Daisy was chosen to be next director, even if she doesn't want this -> Yoyo is blaming Daisy
- Fitz gave Daisy her powers back so she could be potentially the Destroyer -> Yoyo is blaming Daisy
- Ruby got into machine -> Yoyo is blaming Daisy
- May and Daisy are trying to save Coulson -> Yoyo is blaming Daisy

I noticed something during their fight. When Yoyo used her powers against Daisy said "with powers I would definitely win" and then she smiled like she was proud of this. I think that Yoyo is either jealous of Daisy or is feeling overshadowed by her so she wants to proof that she is better than Daisy.

Yoyo is very hypocritical - she broke orders many times during those last few episodes but when she THINKS that Daisy broke orders once she is making her excuses. Daisy didn't even broke orders there. She was ordered by director (Coulson) to leave Polly, Robin and Creel in a save house and ordered by her SO to check tropes from Candyman. Also Yoyo broke orders on a BATTLEFIELD which is terrible - if anyone knows how military works he understands that Yoyo should be locked in cell until she would brought to trial.

Yoyo knows that Ruby wasn't the Destroyer and she killed Ruby for nothing but she is still ok with it. She said something like "she didn't need to die" in last episode. I think that it was pure revenge, the first thing which she said when she saw Ruby was "so she cut off my arms". We don't even know if Ruby killed someone (except Werner but it was an accident) - remember that Ruby didn't finished Hydra training because she didn't want to kill her dog.

Yoyo doesn't even trust Daisy. When Daisy was left alone with Ruby - Yoyo thought that Daisy would want to go to the chamber to bust her powers up. She either doesn't know Daisy or is blinded by hate.

Yoyo is mad that Daisy is trying to safe Coulson because of what future Yoyo said but Yoyo didn't said about this anyone until last episode so how she can blame for that? Also Yoyo is basing her decisions on what Future Yoyo said. Let's be honest it wasn't the best source of the information. She was killed and tortured for decades, we don't know what kind of shit Kasius put into her head. But even if Future Yoyo was herself, she may not know the truth, it could be only her opinion/theory about this. I think that future Yoyo got it wrong. Trying to save Coulson is not the problem - failing to save him is, they failed to save him because they didn't work together on this. Robin said that Coulson can put all the pieces together but in every time loop he dies before that happen, because they always fail to save him. Daisy tries to save Coulson but does something wrong and is too late to stop it and what destroyed earth killed Daisy leaving her dead unable to tell what really happen. So people in the future are left blaming Daisy for Earth destruction.

I started to thing what is the reason of that hate... Maybe Yoyo blames Daisy that she wasn't there when she lost her hands. Or maybe Yoyo think that Coulson MUST die, Daisy is trying to save him so there could be a problem. Or most likely option (at least for me) - Yoyo reminds me here comic-book version of Maria Hill who also had personal problems with Daisy which transitioned into work - Daisy was much younger but with better clearance lever and closer to Fury, Rogers and other people who had tense relations with Hill.

I've missed a couple episodes last thing I saw was her killing the girl.

Everything I've seen yo yo doing has made sense to me.

When it comes to Coulson Daisy can't think straight. And so far everything future yo yo has said has been spot on.

Instead of dealing with gravity thing, the alliance hydra has with these alien gov, or trying to rebuild shield.

Everything has been about saving Coulson 24/7.

I don't know what has has happened after yo yo killing the girl, but if it's still bout saving coulson. Then I'm with Yo-Yo

[rosebookfan]

Okay let’s not be hard on Yo-Yo, she’s been heavy burdened with knowing what’s more in the future & that’s a lot to take for one person so I can understand why she’s upset. Oh, btw, THE WOMAN LOST HER DANG ARMS!!!
I’m not saying Yo-Yo was right bout certain things, but that doesn’t mean we can put the haterade on her either

[calsh]

I did a rewatch of Season 5 recently and the argument that YoYo told everyone about the future, but NO ONE was listening is not true. (To an extent)

She told Fitzsimmons what her future self said, after she had already lost the trust of Mack and the others by locking him up and running off with the married couple. Granted they stalled Ruby, but eventually she ended up getting the gravitonium. On top of that NO ONE KNEW THIS WAS A LOOP EXCEPT YOYO

(Of course Fitzsimmons theorized they were in one, but that was information they shared between eachother and no one else, sound familiar?)

Then when the Remorath came for the Gravitonium, she only THEN told Coulson & May about what her future self said. She never once tried to tell them (The Team) all together. Everytime she did try and tell them, it was after a fuck up that couldve been avoided had everyone knew right when they got back.

Instead, that secret cost the team time and energy. Daisy and May wouldve of course, tried to look for a way to save Coulson, but they wouldve been more amenable had she just said something.

Mack couldve backed up Elena by saying he had seen Future YoYo. He wouldve probably denied it, but it all wouldve made sense in the long run.

I'm not fully blaming YoYo, there is blame for everyone on the team (except Deke, he's just a dummy sometimes) but I'm also not going to sit in her corner saying she's right when her choices are at fault here.

I get she lost her arms and went through something traumatic, however, telling people you're "invincible" and not giving evidence aside from, "you saw me in the future" is not good enough. Had she just told Mack she already knew Coulson was sick he wouldve actually listened to her and backed her up instead of losing his trust in her

[NinjaDustOfficial]

To everyone saying it was Yo-Yo's fault that the aliens attacked because Hale turned the aliens against SHIELD because she killed Ruby, PLEASE remember that the only reason why they got the coordinates to the Lighthouse was because brainwashed Talbot gave it to the enemy, and the only reason why Talbot was activated, was because Daisy gave him a satellite phone to talk to his family.

[magaencina]

I love how mamma May had Daisy´s back the WHOLE TIME, even from pappa Coulson, thats what mothers are supposed to do!

[acethemysterious]

There are two kinds of people:
-Team Yoyo
-Team Daisy

I'm TEAM YOYO BTW. Talking to yourself in the future tortured and murdered is very rough.

Plus, Daisy is so desperate for Coulson to live, even though Coulson himself is prepared to die so he won't go to the torturous procedures and face the consequence of bending the laws of nature.

Her judgment is so clouded that she is willing to sacrifice the lives of billions of people for Coulson.

[SaraBethCox]

THey have NO respect for Daisy. She's doing her best, and doing quite well, it's them who won't give her a chance or any support or trust.

[SweenyTodd]

Got to love Yo-Yo blaming Daisy for people dying in the attack... the attack that happened because of Yo-Yo's actions. In just half a season Yo-Yo has gone to one of my favorite characters to one of my least favorite characters.

[TheArnold]

This was the most ridiculous fight in the history of this show. Aliens are attacking, and YoYo decides to provoke Daisy into fighting her? When there are only a handful of people left? Fuck! I have defended YoYo this season, but there is no excuse for this. Time for her to move on!

[rob]

Ok, let's review what happened here. At least how I see it.
"How dare you going on a mission to find a cure for Coulson? Even after I specifically didn't bother to tell you that maybe, if we don't let him die we are going to be stuck in a timeloop. Yes, that's all I have, but I'm 100% sure it's the reason the earth gets destroyed. That's exactly why I didn't tell you!?!?
And also ... how could you leave when you should have predicted the alien attack. You saw Hale's face when I killed her daughter. How could you not know, that she's going to betray us and tell the alien our location because of Ruby's execution."
