The cast of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. — including Clark Gregg, Chloe Bennet, Nick Blood, Adrianne Palicki, Henry Simmons, and Luke Mitchell — came by the Yahoo TV studio at San Diego Comic-Con, and when they weren’t joking around the gang managed to offer a few teases about Season 3.

First things first: It’s no longer Skye, it’s Daisy Johnson (Miss Jackson if you’re nasty). Bennett says it’s a “new chapter” for her character, so please update your ship names appropriately (Dayward? Linksy?). It’s also a new chapter for the Director’s hand — or, more accurately, his now-handless arm. Gregg wasn’t spilling the beans on what’s replacing the lost appendage, but he did mention G.I. Joe, so our money’s on Phil Coulson with Kung-Fu Grip.

And perhaps because the cast was clearly getting a little loopy after a long day at SDCC, the conversation also included speculation that Agent Simmons will spend next season at Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s house. Spoiler or daydream fantasy? (Don’t answer that.)

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 3 premieres Tuesday, Sept. 29 at 9 p.m. on ABC.
