Coulson...standing right up Cal just as he goes Mr. Hyde, narrowly dodging a flying roof, and then continuing to talk smoothly right as googly eyes does the zombie walk right up to Coulson and...joins the team. Dramatic, yes, a sound strategy for dealing with an abused lover and mass murderer on extreme drugs whose counter-indications include loss of humanity...probably not.

Logical or not, that's the Coulson I'm here to watch. That ludicrous idealism is what makes him one of my heroes; even if Cal had torn him apart I'd approve of Coulson's trying to talk him down.

That the show is willing to reward that idealism is just the icing on the cake.
