He was then transformed into an Inhuman, and turned into Lash to kill Inhumans. In 2008, May went on a mission with Coulson to Bahrain to investigate a woman named Eva Belyakov that S.H.I.E.L.D. suspected of having super-strength and wanted to add her name to the Index. However, the mission didn't go as planned and a team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were taken hostage. May single-handedly rescued the captured agents and killed Belyakov which earned her the name The Cavalry. However, Belyakov's young daughter Katya was killed at the scene and May told Coulson and S.H.I.E.L.D. that Katya was killed in the crossfire. Andrew was the only person May told the truth to that she killed Katya as Katya was going to kill the hostages unless May killed her. After her mission in Bahrain, May and Andrew became increasingly distant and they eventually divorced.

May asks Andrew to do a psychological evaluation of Skye as they just added her name to the Index. Andrews agrees on the conditions that his session with Skye be private and she get a copy of his report afterwards. During their session Andrew tells Skye she's afraid to face the truth that she has powers now. At the end of the episode, Andrews tells May he recommends that Skye leave S.H.I.E.L.D. as being an agent is too much physical and emotional stress for her to handle. May asks Andrew if he'd consult for S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future, but he says no as S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't changed and he has a reason for leaving, referring to his new girlfriend.
Andrew surrenders himself to S.H.I.E.L.D. and explains that he feels Lash taking over and he knows that the next time he transforms he'll be Lash forever. They put Andrew in the containment module and inject him with the terrigenesis vaccine Simmons has been working on hoping that it may stop Andrew from transforming. May visits Andrew and he explains that he realizes now that when last time they talked that was Lash talking to her not him. Furthermore, Andrew wants S.H.I.E.L.D. to keep Lash contained as he knows Lash will kill more people if he's free. May then comments how all the terrible things in Andrew's life would've never had happened if she had never met him, but Andrew tells May she's also at the center of some of the best moments of his life.
