Season 2 of Agents of SHIELD became all about the Inhumans. It wrapped with Director Coulson and Daisy Johnson discussing the covert team of Inhumans Daisy would be putting together. Jeph Loeb moderated a panel at Comic-Con with SHIELD cast members Luke Mitchell (Lincoln), Henry Simmons (Mac), Nick Blood (Lance), Adrianne Palicki (Mockingbird), Iain de Caestecker (Fitz), Elizabeth Henstridge (Simmons), Ming-Na Wen (May), Brett Dalton (Ward), Chloe Bennet (Daisy Johnson), and Clark Gregg (Coulson), and they briefly discussed the events of Season 2 and revealed a bloopers reel before looking slightly ahead to Season 3.Loeb focused on the newbies of the cast -- Mitchell, Simmons, Blood, and Palicki -- and asked them about what it was like to join the team. They've all had positive experiences in, and Palicki in particular was thrilled to join the series: "It's pretty awesome to play this character has a huge comic book fan -- there was a lot of pressure coming in."

After a hilarious gag reel from the second season, they turned their attention to audience questions. An especially adorable thing worth mentioning happened: A young girl at the microphone asked if they ever needed an 8-year-old in the show. Gregg didn't hesitate and slipped right into Coulson mode and told the little girl that anyone could grow up to run SHIELD and talked about strong female characters like May, Simmons, Daisy, and Peggy Carter. It was the sweetest thing I've seen so far at the convention.

Before they wrapped the panel, Loeb dropped the slightest of hints about Season 3. They took a camera inside the SHIELD writers' room where Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen were hard at work. In this case, work means an empty whiteboard labeled "Season 3 Ideas" and Whedon lobbing darts at a "who we should kill next" board. A label by Simmons' name read "already very dead." The video showed a jar where everyone has to put money anytime they call Daisy by her old name, Skye. The jar is cleverly labeled "She's Daisy now."

They confirmed Daisy's code name will be Quake in Season 3, that the group will be called the Secret Warriors, and that the new plane is called Zephyr One. Finally, Loeb said Lash will join the Inhuman round-up next season. In the comics, the villainous Lash is an Inhuman with energy conversion, absorption, and manipulation powers.

Agents of SHIELD returns for Season 3 on September 29.
