#agent diaz

Phil Coulson: OG Phil is still very dead and buried. Cloned-by-space-rocks Phil aka Sarge is dust, along with his incorporeal stowaway. Robo Phil aka a super advanced LMD with Chronicom tech has just been activated in 1931 on the Zephyr One above New York City and is now likely thirty seconds away from cracking his very first dad joke.

Melinda May: She died but is getting better. Currently chilling in a cryo-tank on the Z1 in 1931, getting ready to kick some (more) ass soon enough. Unclear at this time whether it’ll be human or synthetic.

Daisy Johnson: Alive and mostly well, if a little banged up, aboard the Z1 in 1931. Probably getting an earful from Mack on her impulsive tendencies regarding the activation of robotic versions of dead parental figures. Will be looking for the liquor cabinet soon.

Alphonso Mackenzie: Alive and mostly well aboard the Z1 in 1931. Possibly cursing for not quitting for good that one time. And that other time. Probably in the process of quoting every single movie ever made where robots rebel against their creators. Might join in the search for the liquor cabinet.

Jemma Simmons: Alive and apparently well, if a little emotionally detached, aboard the Z1 in 1931. Currently dealing with a newly activated Coulbot making embarrassing dad jokes, a director quoting scriptures and scifi b-movies and a best friend who really wants a drink or seven. Possibly longing for those alien puffies.

Elena Rodriguez: Alive but more than a little banged up aboard the Z1 in 1931. She vomited blood and/or a liquified shrike (ewwww). Currently hooked to a respirator on the lower deck, wondering what fresh hell is going on. Could definitely use a beer.

Leopold Fitz: Alive and presumably well, playing temporal puppet master in an undisclosed location and time.

Deke Shaw: Alive and well aboard the Z1 in 1931. Still glowing because Mack called him “agent”. Possibly wondering if he’s going to meet his great-great-grandparents this time.

Enoch: Fully functional aboard the Z1 in 1931, probably wondering how did he go from anthropologist to manservant. Missing his bestie.

Agent Piper: Whereabouts unknown. Last seen in 2019 flying a Quinjet back to the Lighthouse to escort Monolith!Flint to safety. Missing her bestie.

Agent Davis: Still dead. Killed by Izel with gravity in 2019. Still missing a first name.

Doctor Benson: Whereabouts unknown. Presumably recovered from the containment pod that dropped him into the Yucatan jungle in 2019. Might be playing male & aging Lara Croft otherwise.

Snowflake: Missing in action. Last seen in 2019 in one of the Lighthouse’s cells checking out Deke unpacking a TV. Might have turned into a butterfly.

Monolith!Flint: Whereabouts unknown. Last seen in 2019 with Agent Piper flying back to the Lighthouse to receive medical attention for his broken leg. Possibly turned to dust once the Monoliths went kaboom.

Agent Trevor Khan: Dead. The Chronicom hunters killed him during the attack to the Lighthouse in 2019. S.H.I.E.L.D. will never be this hot again, even with Daisy, Mack and May still in its ranks.

Agent Diaz: Missing in action. Last seen in 2019 leading a squad of surviving agents to a supposedly safe room in the Lighthouse. S.H.I.E.L.D. lost the Lighthouse to the Chronicom’s attack so unless the time travelling science duo fetched them on their way out, they’re likely all goners.

Since Keller we’ve haven’t lost anyone with a name but now we have:

A possessed Davis who may or may not be a permanent host for Izel.

A perky Piper taking no crap in the promo which doesn’t look to be leading to anything good.

Diaz has survived her wound. (I mean, I’m assuming but they wouldn’t be having such a carefree party afterwards otherwise, right?)

Trevor Khan is still somewhere on the base keeping the temperature elevated with his hotness.

Oh, and Dr. Benson should be back from South America at some point.

Both Piper and Davis have been around for years, they have had quite the upgraded screen time this season, Daisy and Jemma have spent a year being friendly with them and most of the fanbase adores them. This is all very dangerous.

Diaz has been the third most visible of the newbie agents so far, she has a name and she’s likable. She doesn’t have any particular connection to our leads so she’s probably in the safest position but that’s not saying much at this point as she’s also, clearly, the most expendable of the lot.

Trevor Khan has had almost as much screen time as Keller, has a first name too, he’s likable (yes, there’s another word for that), has babysitted Deke for a year (so, connection to one of the leads) and his own previous brush with death was cut short by the more super of our resident superheroes. The hotness is strong with him but it may not be enough.

Dr. Benson is not a field agent and has a future task already picked up for him, rebuilding the Academy, but let’s face it: there is nothing that he brings to the table that the returning Science Duo can’t do better, assuming they stop being kidnapped or in mortal danger every five damn minutes. Plus he has an emotional backstory and a personal connection to May. He is not safe in the slightest.
