My Life, My Heart, My Home

In closing the fear dimension, all of their (the Bus Kids definitely, and no one else is having a great time either) greatest fears came true? That’s what it took to close it? 

Fitz hurt his best friend past the point of no return, physically cut her open and forced the powers she didn’t want back on her. He lost himself to the Doctor, and he (if you’re being lenient) let robots programmed by his alternate personality point a gun at his wife in order to force him to hurt Daisy, or (if you’re not so lenient) he programmed robots to point a gun a his wife so she wouldn’t interfere. He also didn’t fight it, and couldn’t do anything about it. The man who dives through holes in the universe and fakes blood tests risking everyone’s contamination doesn’t like being unable to aid his loved ones, much less be the cause of their pain, but that’s almost all he’s been starting with AIDA and the Framework.

Jemma lost Fitz to the Doctor, which I think “the astronaut isn’t my biggest fear” implied to mean that’s what she’s scared of. She loves him and he just did a horrific thing, and she knows that he hates himself for it, and that kills her. She’s always feared losing Fitz, but watching him turn into someone she knows he would hate has got to be killing her. Plus, she just had to watch one of the most important people in her life torture the other most important person. That sucks.

Daisy’s greatest fear at this point was getting her powers back and destroying the world. I think that was clear by her wanting to stay in the future and stay behind at the Lighthouse when they got back. She’s understandably freaked by the future and it being her fault and was gratefully for the device that was previously used to control and subdue her. Also, she was drugged and tied down while one of her best friends forcibly operated on her, tortured her, to bring this about. She lost the ability to trust one of the people she’s steadfastly relied on since she found this family. Also, Coulson’s dying on her, and May might quit if that happens, plus FitzSimmons aren’t in a steady place right now and Mack wants to leave with Elena, so her family is crumbling. 

Don’t worry, guys.
