Marvel's Agents of SHIELD Season 2 Spoilers: How Does Ward Appear in First Few Episodes?

Agent Grant Ward's (Brett Dalton) betrayal of his fellow agents was one of the highlights of the first season of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., especially in the final few episodes. The S.H.I.E.L.D. team captured him at the end of the season, so how will the character fit into Season 2?

The "Mega Buzz" column at TV Guide provides some of the answer and reveals Hydra will also play a role in Season 2:

"Anything on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., specifically how Ward might factor into the first couple of episodes? -Mary, via Twitter
Don't worry, Ward will still play a big role in Season 2 - as will Hydra. 'He spent his whole life being a follower and being told what to do,' executive producer Maurissa Tancharoen tells me. 'Now he's in our custody and alone, so what does that mean for him? Season 2 is Ward continuing to discover what he wants.'"

In other news, Deadline reports British actor Simon Kassianides has joined the cast of Season 2 in a recurring role as "Bakshi," whom the site describes as a "confident right hand man who's not afraid to do the dirty work." Deadline does not say if he works for the good guys or the bad guys.

Kassianides previously appeared in Quantum of Solace and Burn Notice.

What do you think will happen to Ward this season? What will Bakshi's role be? Do you think he will align with S.H.I.E.L.D. or with a more nefarious entity? Let us know in the comments below.
