I'm going to kind of flesh things out for you with speculation and what not. Nothing should be a spoiler for peeps reading the spoiler thread.
Her name is Quake. She causes tremors and not just in the ground. She beat Magneto by causing tremors in his head and threatened Wolverine by attacking his heart (Not that it would do shit to him.) There's a comic from a few years back called Secret War and she debuted in that issue. It skyrocketed in price after that episode.
Her father is...Mr. Hyde.
Should be interesting to watch his transformation.
Now here's the twist from comics to screen... You know how Fox owns the rights to mutants? Well, Quake is a mutant in the comics. Problem.
That's why they've reinvented her as an Inhuman. Ditto for Rena (Back to her in a second).
Anyway, since Marvel doesn't have their mutants, they're pushing Inhumans, which is hilarious considering they've been around for 50 years, sucked the whole time aside from Blackbolt and Medussa, and their comics do NOT sell. I'll bet they make a mint with the movie though.
The crystals you saw were Terragen(sp?) crystals and that mist they released transforms some people into superhumans, the Inhumans. They don't kill in the comic, so I don't know why they do in the show, and I was sad to see Trip die.
Trip was cool, but he hilariously made my prediction about there being too many black folks on the show true. I mean, you just KNEW one of them had to die.
People speculate that the guy with no eyes is an Inhuman called Reader. He's apparently new since they launched a new Inhumans book. (Again, trying to push them over in preparation for the movie.)
And don't fool yourself, if they got their mutants back, they'd drop this Inhuman shit like it was a turd on fire covered in jizz.
Here's a good shot of the Inhumans I've always known:
So the redheaded chick is Medusa (can control her hair) and she's married to Blackbolt (his voice is like punches from the hulk) who is in the center. The dog is Lockjaw and can teleport. The blonde chick in the back is Crystal and is the most interesting because she's Quicksilver's wife or ex-wife. I have no idea what the fish guy's name is but I know of him. The kung fu guy in green is a master tactician and fighter. I think he might be able to learn moves or anticipate them or some shit. I believe the big guy is Gorgon and he's muscle. The other two guys appear to be the same person(?) and I know at least one of them is Max, the king's insane brother. Think Loki only insane. He craves his brother's throne as well, but he doesn't fuck his brother over constantly. In fact, he's a great weapon. Imagine having a mix of the Joker and Loki as someone you can throw at enemies.
Oh, and the Inhumans usually show up in one specific book: Fantastic Four. Considering their film rights situation and the inevitable canceling of their comic (until those film rights come back...), it's all very interesting.
Oh, and as for Rena, people said she appeared to turn feline, which made folks immediately wonder about Inhumans who were cat-like and this immediately sprang to mind:
The problem there is that she's from the 60s or 70s and nobody knows who the fuck she is!
Now she could be a new character OR she could be a well known character who has been on multiple Avengers teams: Tigra
My money's on Tigra.

And how did Trip run around so long without the same thing happening to him that happened to Mac? Was just not poking at blue stuff all it took to survive?

What happened to Mac was just a plot device to get him out of the way so they could kill Trip.

I thought it was clear that it was a single trap. Mac tripped it, so it affected him, but since it had already gone off it couldn't hurt anyone else.
(Is that better?)

Up until now I never cared for Cal. He was mostly annoying and somewhat whiney. But when he finally became Hyde I finally liked him. He turned out to be a decent guy. I like how his story ended.
Skye's Mom never fooled me, I knew she'd turn out to be evil. Gordon had me fooled for awhile, though; I wanted him to be a good guy. Drat.
(Coulson + crystal) x (Mac + axe) = Holy shit!
When Jemma wanted to talk to Fitz about how he feels about her (and she feels about him?) I was just sure he wasn't going to make it out of the mission alive. Glad I was wrong about that. But clearly I wasn't wrong to be worried. Anything from the comics about what happened there? Is that rock from the comics?
Think Skye and the Inhumans will be a spin-off show? Or just keep being a part of Agents? Cute bit at the end with the fish oil, any predictions on how far that will go?

I am not aware of what that rock could be and just googled it and apparently it has no link to the books.
Now...can I drop a spoiler in the spoiler thread? What I want to say is out there and not hidden info, so I feel like I can without any issue. So I'm going to...
She gave an interview a day after that show aired talking about how excited she is to see what happens to her character in that rock. So Jemma is apparently not dead, but who knows what's up with the rock.
I think the fish oil is what is going to fill up Cap's Avenger Academy in Cap 3.
That's an interesting theory.
I had heard Hulk's rampage in the last movie and the facts behind Ultron's origins would lead to the registration act. But having lots of new super powered folks running around would definitely help push the issue.
