What Questions Does Agents of SHIELD Need to Answer Before Season One Ends?

Agents of SHIELD has been an up and down roller coaster for much of the first season. Recently they have been trying to incorporate more of the Marvel Universe and it has been working. Bringing in Lady Sif was nice and planning to tie in "the cellist" in the near future is something many fans have been waiting for ever since Avengers. They have also promised that Captain America: The Winter Soldier will have a big effect on how the rest of the show goes. This season has been shrouded in mystery and questions. Now that Agents of SHIELD is about to enter its stretch run, there are a lot of questions that Marvel needs to answer. WARNING: Spoilers for episodes 1-15 of season 1 of Agents of SHIELD are below.

What is Skye's real/full name?
We have never been given Skye's last name. She mentioned that she has already erased her real identity and that Skye is not her real name. Her real or original name could be a huge piece of information in determining who/what Skye becomes in the future.

What was the formula that the clairvoyant took a picture of in episode 4?
The clairvoyant got a picture of some sort of formula when Agent Ward was posing as Akela Amador. This formula could have been the formula for a super soldier like serum or possibly to help with Project Centipede. If we knew what that formula was, it could help us understand the clairvoyant's bigger picture plan.

Who are Skye's parents?
Skye set out from the beginning to try and uncover who her parents were. We now know that she is an 0-8-4, an object of unknown origin, and that potentially her parents (and possibly herself) are not of this world. Answering this question would greatly help understanding who Skye is.

Where did Skye come from?
As I mentioned above, since Skye is an 0-8-4, no one (except Nick Fury possibly) knows where Skye came from. If she is in fact not from this planet than we need to know where she came from.

Does the clairvoyant have any powers?
All throughout the season it has been hinted at that the clairvoyant may have some sort of super power. The super power being hinted at is one where he can see all things. If this is the case, he would be the first with that kind of power that SHIELD knows about. 

How long is The Index?
I for one would love to get a closer look at The Index that SHIELD has. If you do not know, The Index is a list that SHIELD made that contains names of people with abilities. They say it is not that big, but I am sure there are some they know about that we do not as of this moment.

How much is Agent May involved and how much does she know?
One of the biggest surprises for me in episode 15 was the reveal of May's involvement in keeping more about Coulson's recovery and the alien from him. May obviously knows more than she is putting forth and her "betrayal" of trust to Coulson could be huge on how this season ends.

How does Centipede and the clairvoyant know that Coulson died?
This question could be answered if we knew what kind of powers the clairvoyant has. If he turns out to not have any powers than we must assume that there is a mole in SHIELD that is helping the clairvoyant get information.

Why will SHIELD and Nick Fury do whatever is necessary to keep Coulson?
Coulson means more to SHIELD and Nick Fury than just about any agent. They already went to crazy lengths to keep Coulson alive after the Avengers and when the clairvoyant had him kidnapped they did it again. Agent Hand even said that no agent could be this important to go through all this trouble, so obviously Coulson is worth more than other agents. The question still remains is why?

Why did Raina need to use the memory machine?
When the clairvoyant kidnapped Coulson, Raina was in charge of getting Coulson to cooperate with their machine. She mentioned that she had to use the machine herself. What kind of mysterious past does she have?

Who killed Agent Avery and everyone protecting Skye?
When Coulson and May decided to look into Skye's past they discovered that some agents had been killed trying to protect Skye. We need to find out who was trying to either kidnap or kill Skye and why.

What will GH325 do to Skye?
We have absolutely no idea why SHIELD was using a Kree body to make a serum, or how they even got the Kree since Lady Sif said Kree had never been to Earth. The GH325 serum obviously healed Skye but what else it could do to Skye is unknown. Hopefully they answer what all could/will happen to Skye because of the injection.

What has GH325 done to Coulson?
Coulson has been living with the GH325 serum flowing through his body for some time now and as far as we know, there are not any side effects. Marvel needs to answer what this serum can and will do to Coulson.

How much more is there to Coulson's recovery?
So far we know that Coulson had the GH325 serum used on him to heal his body and that they used as many as 7 different operations. They also used some strange robot to program memories in Coulson's head. It feels like there is more to this than have revealed.
