We’ve Got it all Wrong: Raina is the Doctor’s Daughter

 

Skye isn’t The Doctor’s daughter. Raina is. Because even raging villains get it wrong sometimes.

 

At least, that’s what gut instinct tells me. And since this is all conjecture and theory, you don’t have to consider this truly a spoiler. But if I’m right, quite by accident? Well, sorry about that.


So why do I think this twist is coming our way?


Because of some other fan theories out there. The ones that suggest Kyle MacLachlan’s Doctor is actually Dr. Hyde and Skye is Hyde’s biological daughter, Daisy Johnson.


Trouble is, where are the clues? I mean, other than digging into the Marvel Wiki? Where are the on-screen clues?


There seem to be few that suggest Skye’s (“THAT’S NOT HER NAME!”) real name is Daisy. But there’s one big one that suggests Raina’s name is Daisy. Yep, that’s the one.


She’s “The Girl and the Flower Dress.” And Garrett’s nickname for her? “Flowers.”


I mean, c’mon. It’s right there.


What does this mean for Skye? A couple of possibilities:


  1. She’s not The Doctor’s daughter. SHIELD files were foraged or futzed with and the mystery continues. Or The Doctor is her adopted father and we learn of a new mystery: Who is Skye’s real father?

  2. She’s not her mother’s daughter. We’re assuming The Doctor’s wife, for whom he seeks revenge, is Skye’s mother. But that doesn’t have to be. She could be the Doctor’s daughter and the mother’s adoptive daughter. This still allows for Raina to be Daisy and Skye on a quest to find her real mother.

  3. She’s Raina’s sister. Skye. Raina. Sky. Rain. I mean, again, right in front of us. Maybe Skye and Raina are sisters. Biologically, sure, but by adoption is even more intriguing. This leaves many a mystery still wide open, while still letting the audience take a few steps forward.

  4. She’s from the same village as Raina. Again, this provides an opening for Skye’s parents to remain a mystery while her identity becomes a little more clear.
