Well, I've done some re-watching and: 1. She knows about its cellular regeneration properties (but not its side effects), and it's Fitz's only hope of regaining his normal capabilities again. 2. The last time we see her try to unravel its mystery, she's uploaded the data to Dr. Weaver at the academy, who says "If you make it out alive you know where to find me". 3. She knows Coulson is dead against her researching this. ("I like following the rules and doing what's expected of me. It makes me feel nice.") 4. She's "getting better at [lying]" by her own admission.
So I'm hoping to see Simmons pull a Skye and work outside the system, and without Fitz. Please show pleeeeaase!
But more disturbing spec: I'm worried that Raina lied to Garrett about giving him the last of the serum. She also has the bulk of the serum research, both the stuff Hydra/Centipede did on those last 4 vials (seriously, why would she distill the 4 into 1 after realizing he only intended to use it on himself?) and that Simmons did on the Bus. And with Fitz extracting a promise from Jemma about how he would be lost if she went over to Hydra... well, this is a Whedon show, right? They sure like to make good on their foreshadowing, ("Simmons is seriously starting to unravel without Fitz." 1x07. WTF.) and this season's buzzphrase seems to be "Go dark", which could be a metaphor for all their character arcs too...
