He wants to know if Skye was in cahoots with Max. He asks her if she set him up. Skye remarks that she wouldn’t set him up that would be as bad as setting someone up for murder.

She always tries to be the best person that she can be. She had a question and he wants to hear it. He will give her a truthful answer. She asks him why he rescued her? Was he trying to be a hero? He tells her that is exactly what he was trying to do. At the time, it appealed to him to be a hero. He asks her if Max slept with Blair. He wants to know if he was being set up.
