Daisy wakes up and gets out of the healing pod. She talks to Daniel and then goes to the command center of the plane. They are currently in a very pretty death trap. We get the title card floating in that death trap.

The Quinjet is going haywire, but Yo-Yo is working on fixing it. It’s radiation.

Deke comes in to tell them that they are stuck in a time storm and hurling toward a vortex that will most likely make as if they never existed, but he isn’t entirely sure.

Mack then gets blasted by one of the radiation flares and is blinded. He’s taken to Simmons. Enoch comes in to fix the time drive, but Simmons wants to help Mack first.

There is a fire that Daisy puts out and then they jump again.

She wakes up again and goes to command to find out the time drive has overloaded. She’s in a time loop, and we get the title card again. The Quinjet’s flight systems are fried, and she keeps Mack from being blinded by closing the door. She goes to see Simmons to tell her about the time loop. Cue Enoch and the fire.

She wakes up again. Daniel is still asleep, and so she goes to “wake up” LMD Coulson. He knows that she’s in a time loop and he’s irritated with her. She’s died 14 times. They’ve done the loop 87 times that he’s aware of. She doesn’t always wake him up. They can’t fly out of the vortex because the radiation has fried the navigation. They need to fix the time drive, but time is the one thing they are running out of. Every loop they are getting closer and closer to the vortex.

Daisy tells the team that they’re repeating time.

Deke goes to see Simmons. He tells her about the loop. If they take out her implant, then she might remember how to fix the time drive. LMD Coulson and Daisy eavesdrop. Once the loop resets, her implant will still be in place, so all in all it will work out.

Simmons asks Daisy to prove that they are in a time loop, which she does. She then goes to remove the implants, starts coughing, and dies in a locked room.

The next time Daisy goes into the room with her and they both die from a gas leak.

It was too clean to be accidental. Someone is willing to kill to make sure the implant is never removed. The obvious suspects are Simmons, Deke, and Enoch. Since Simmons died, she’s less of a suspect. All of them deny any involvement. Why would they murder their friends?

Yo-Yo might be fast enough to get the implant out of Simmons, but it takes too long to get her out of the Quinjet.

Daisy notices something weird about the scanner. In order to test it, she wants to use it on herself. Daniel won’t let her. If she dies, she’ll forget everything. If he dies, the loop will reset. I cannot tell you how much I literally adore him, though I will several more times. He uses the scanner and dies.

She tells LMD Coulson all of this in the next loop. He starts on a rant. He hates having to watch them die over and over again. It’s soul crushing, but he’s not even sure he has a soul. She tries to say that of course he has a soul and she has had to watch him die over and over again, but he says it isn’t. He’s a machine that will watch every single person he loves die because he was programmed that way.

That’s it. Enoch was programmed without his knowledge to protect the implant by any means necessary. Once they realize this, Enoch begins to choke Daisy. She quakes him.

After Daisy wakes up again, she asks Daniel why he cares. He simply says, “because you don’t.”

They try to get the implant out without Enoch knowing. It doesn’t work.

Daniel tries to distract Enoch long enough for them to get Enoch out. It doesn’t work, but it is completely adorable.

Simmons asks Enoch to let them. As it turns out, countermanding that order is password dependent.

They try to use everyone to beat him. That doesn’t work.

Daisy is going nuts and she tells Sousa everything. He doesn’t seem fazed and she asks him why. He is fazed. He just doesn’t show it. She asks why he always helps her without even being asked. He says that he knows her type. Some of his favorite people, stab me with a rusty fork, are her type. They are the type that focus on the greater good at their own expense, the type that pretend to be loners but always end up surrounded by a team, and they run full tilt at the walls that come up. He’s the person that picks people back up when they hit those walls. I love him.

After her therapy session, they use subterfuge to trap Enoch in another room while they take out the implant. They aren’t fast enough.

This time Daisy kisses him. I was on the fence about this ship, but I may have been pulled on board by this.

Even with that distraction, they are fast enough to get Simmons’ implant out in time. Enoch can help with the time drive. He has something which is relatively equivalent to the human heart. If they take it out to fix the time drive, it will kill him. She then starts to sob.

Daisy asks Simmons and Enoch to meet her in the LMD lab. They are less than one kilometer from the vortex. She tells them about Enoch. Simmons protests, but Enoch just pulls it out with absolutely no qualms. Simmons and Deke go fix the time drive while LMD Coulson and Daisy stay with Enoch.

Enoch explains that he didn’t understand the feeling of loneliness until he met the team. He is afraid of feeling lonely when he dies. LMD Coulson tries to explain that he isn’t alone. He and Daisy will be there with him until he dies. That is what scares Enoch. Eventually, he will go through it alone. LMD Coulson explains, as only he can, that that feeling is temporary for the person dying. It’s harder and more lasting for the people that survive. Enoch apologizes to Coulson. Daisy thanks Enoch. Enoch tells her that while her friends will live, this will be the team’s last mission. It’s as if he’s speaking to us and not to Daisy. Daisy and LMD Coulson explain to him that every living being encounters the cycle of life, which means that he is not alone in experiencing it. He dies as they jump successfully away from the vortex.

Nathaniel is training Kora, who has also transitioned to traditional villain garb. She also knows about Daisy.

The episode starts with two teenagers in a car in the desert. He tells her that this is where he saw a UFO. She thinks he’s kidding, but then they see the Zephyr.

The Zephyr’s controls lock up when it jumps, so they should have been flying when it happened. As it is, they kinda crash. Thankfully, they’re in Area 51 in 1955. Happens all the time, right?

The Chronicons are having a meeting with the boss lady from Bones. In this reality, she’s known as a predictor and is the one that has been guiding the rest of them.

Before anything else, Mack reminds everyone who is in charge. His plan is to find the Chronicon ship.

LMD Coulson pops in with some trivia. AREA 51 WAS A S.H.I.E.L.D. BASE! I love it. At this time, they are running a project called Helius, which was a failed ion fusion reactor. Deke explains; however, that in his time ion fusion reactor were used as weapons that destroyed ships.

Mack and Yo-Yo talk in a stereotypical 50s diner about what’s been going on with her.

Daisy and LMD Coulson talk about May and the crappy parts of American history until their mark walks in.

His name is Gerald Sharp, he works for the Department of Defense, and they kidnap him after Daisy drugs his coffee with sweetener.

May walks in as they’re discussing the plan and they explain that they have sent Coulson and Simmons into the actual base.

LMD Coulson is impersonating Sharp and Simmons is impersonating Peggy freaking Carter. They are shown into the lab and proceed to be completely adorable.

Mack and Yo-Yo interrogate Sharp. He’s a dick who uses slurs and think they’re communists. Needless to say, he doesn’t crack.

Simmons and LMD Coulson try to provoke emotional responses in the scientists, with amusing results. The head scientist comes in and asks them what to do about the VIPs arriving. Let them in.

One of the VIPs is DANIEL SOUSA!!!!! While I love him and love seeing him, he’s totally going to blow Simmons’ cover.

Daisy and Deke talk about her ordering him to shoot someone. He’s not the same guy that he was in the future and he doesn’t want to be.

Daniel makes Simmons.

LMD Coulson continues to make people cry until Daniel has him arrested. LMD Coulson is, of course, a massive fan.

Sharp made the mistake of insulting May and she almost killed him. They all look at Deke as the one guy he might listen to because he’s a white guy.

Daniel walks in on Daisy in his office. She pretends to be CIA.

Deke talks to Sharp, who tells him that there is nothing on Earth strong enough to power Helius. This gives him an idea. The Chronicons can power it the same way that Enoch powered the monolith in the future: by using themselves as batteries.

As Deke is realizing this, a Chronicon is overriding the system.

May and Yo-Yo infiltrate the base as pilots and throw a canister of tear gas into the lab to find the person that doesn’t react. May has a panic attack and Yo-Yo is still having performance anxiety, so the Chronicon gets away. Neither of them want to talk about it.

While May and Yo-Yo have distracted the base with an alarm, LMD Coulson respectfully locks Daniel in the cell that he had put Simmons and LMD Coulson in to talk to Daisy.

Helius is starting up.

Sharp is free and sees their ship. Mack tells him that he can explain. Then he punches him, because he doesn’t want to.

LMD Coulson tells the main scientist to evacuate all the VIPs.

Mack and Yo-Yo have another chance at the Chronicon, as she plugs herself into Helius.

Simmons wants to use the proto-EMP to turn off Helius. There is another Chronicon that attacks as she’s working. LMD Coulson engages him.

May and Yo-Yo fight the female Chronicon. She starts choking Yo-Yo while trying to plug in the other end.

Daniel interrupts LMD Coulson’s fight and the male Chronicon takes him on instead.

Simmons gets the EMP to work. This destroys both Chronicons and short circuits LMD Coulson, for lack of a better term.

Deke and Mack pretend to be aliens so that Sharp won’t talk about what happened. He runs into the diner and tells them that he got abducted by alien commies from the future. It’s really satisfying that everyone is going to think he’s a nut job for the rest of his life, or at least until Thor.

The Quinjet has less than a minute before it docks with the Zephyr. It hasn’t been spotted by the Chronicoms yet. Once they dock; however, the Zephyr gets pulled by a tractor beam into another ship. Daisy, Mack, and Daniel stand with weapons waiting for the doors to the open. They don’t, so Mack opens them instead. There is nobody there and the only person on the Zephyr is the goon that Nathaniel killed for calling him sir.

Simmons and Deke, on the other hand, are being led to a cell. Before they’re tossed inside, Simmons is injected with something.

Nathaniel, Korra, and the goons meet Sybil in person. Nathaniel tells her what happened to Simmons when he looked for Fitz. Sybil tells him that it’s of no consequence. Simmons was injected with something that will dissolve her implant.

The Lighthouse is still standing because Sybil knew that the Lighthouse would survive any kind of conventional external assault. LMD Coulson starts hearing a weird noise and tells May and Yo-Yo to start lockdown procedures just in case.

Korra confronts Nathaniel about her mother and Nathaniel lies and manipulates like the POS he is.

Garrett teleports into the Lighthouse and starts planting explosives.

Deke talks to Simmons about Fitz. He then starts imitating Fitz, which is priceless.

Daisy, Mack, and Daniel have a plan to find Simmons and Deke. Daisy will infiltrate the ship and find Simmons and Deke while Mack and Daniel find a way out. Daniel kisses Daisy before she leaves.

May sees Garrett on the security camera and LMD Coulson dubs the explosives “chronibombs.” They are still working on how to trap Garrett like they did Gordon once upon a time.

Sybil knows that they’re on the ship, so there is no need to hide. She sends people kill Daniel and Mack, but she wants Daisy to reach Simmons. There’s a better chance that she’ll find Fitz’s location if they are reunited.

Now that they don’t have to be stealthy, Mack wants to make some noise. He fire some shots into the hangar door, but with no effect.

Korra and Nathaniel talk about Daisy. He wants her dead and pronto.

LMD Coulson paints an X on the floor. Him and May then talk about how much they’ve changed and that they like the people that they’ve become. It’s interrupted by Garrett, of course. It’s ok though, because they manage to cuff him so that they can’t go anywhere. Now they just need to tell him how to deactivate the bombs. He can’t. He calls Nathaniel for help, but Nathaniel doesn’t give a crap about anyone but himself, a sentiment that he makes abundantly clear when he leaves Garrett out to dry. Then the explosions start.

Yo-Yo is looking for LMD Coulson and May. They’re both alive. She put all the bombs in one place so that the whole Lighthouse wouldn’t come down. Garrett is unconscious, or dead.

The Chronicoms come for Mack and Daniel. Mack makes a quip and then blasts them unconscious.

The guards completely ignore Daisy, at Sybil’s order most likely.

The Lighthouse still works. Yo-Yo is injured, but she’ll be ok. It looks like Garrett will live too, and he wants revenge on Malick. LMD Coulson is hearing that noise again, but it’s a pattern.

Daisy finds Deke and Simmons. Simmons doesn’t remember her, but she wants a costume. Deke and Daisy promise to get her one if she comes with them. The implant is now completely gone.

Mack and Daniel are getting ready for an assault when Daniel gets an idea. Why don’t they use the Chronicoms that they have already as bombs?

Daisy, Simmons, and Deke run into Korra and Sybil is ticked. It’s hard to babble about things you can and can’t remember if you’re fighting and/or dead. Daisy tells Deke to take Simmons and get out. Daisy then says that she won’t use her powers to fight Korra and then Daisy tells her what she believes.

The noise that LMD Coulson has been hearing is a coded message for an 0-84. Garrett can take them to the coordinates, if they take off the cuffs. Unfortunately, they don’t have any better ideas.

Deke and Simmons get back to the Zephyr just as Daniel and Mack are making their bomb. Now that they can actually get out, they need a new plan. This one has duct tape.

Nathaniel and Sybil find Korra. She’s beginning to break away from his manipulation, because she let Daisy go. Nathaniel shoots her with an icer and puts her in a cell.

The bombs are Chronicoms duct taped to bombs that Mack and Daniel shoot at the hangar door. It blows up and it’s awesome!!!!!!! It’s also powerful enough to get them out.

Garrett teleports LMD Coulson, May, and Yo-Yo to the coordinates. He immediately gets shot. LMD Coulson convinces everyone else not to shoot because they are all on the same team, except for Garrett. Victoria Hand shot him, which is such poetic justice. They all received the same coded message and brought boxes or briefcases containing 0-84’s. At this point, Mack, Daisy, Daniel, Simmons, and Deke show up. May and Daisy hug, which is nice. Simmons understands how all of the 0-84’s work and match together. One last guy shows up with one last piece, which is a tuning fork. The frequency opens a secret room in the secret S.H.I.E.L.D. bar safehouse. Simmons’ wedding ring is the key to making it work. The device that she’s built open a portal and out pops FITZ!!!!!!!!!! Simmons still doesn’t remember him, but his reaction to that is a bit understated.

Nathaniel tells Sybil about the safehouse in New York that she didn’t hit because she didn’t know about.

Fitz explains to them that they can get to their original timeline using the Quantum Realm. They just need to pack the quantum bridge onto the Zephyr and get going. They also need Korra, because apparently she’s the key to saving the world?LMD Coulson tells him that they can’t and won’t abandon this timeline. They come up with a plan to connect to the bridge from inside the secret room and on the Zephyr to take the Chronicoms with them. This means that one person will have to stay behind. Daniel volunteers, but Deke won’t allow it. Good Deke. After the rest of the team successfully makes it back to their own timeline, the other S.H.I.E.L.D. people put Deke in charge. Oh boy.

Fitz is trying to help Simmons remember. He starts with the Alya star system and it goes into flashback.

In the flashback, Enoch transports Fitzsimmons onto the plane with Piper and Flint. While they politely turn the ship around, Enoch reveals that he stole a copy of the time stream. Flint gives them a piece of the time monolith and then Fitzsimmons and Enoch go to the Alya star system, where Fitz studies the time stream. They just lived. For years. They made the Coulson LMD and the implant and went back to the moment they left Piper and Flint. Fitz gets into a container to go into the quantum realm because his mind wouldn’t be able to handle the implant. Simmons tells Piper and Flint to guard it with their lives and she will give them anything they want when she gets back.

Sybil and Nathaniel argue about the best course of action. Nathaniel decides that it’s time to take Korra’s powers.

The team, or at least part of it, are the people in hazmat suits that we saw come in with Simmons at the end of last season. That version of her doesn’t know it. They shut down on all the Zephyr’s systems so that the Chronicoms don’t find them until the right moment. When that moment comes, the Chronicoms fire on them and become the people that destroyed the temple and launched Fitz into the Quantum Realm.

Mack, May, Daisy and LMD Coulson go to rescue Korra. Sybil finds LMD Coulson almost immediately and threatens to reprogram him. At this point, I’m super worried that LMD Coulson is going to pull an Admiral Janeway.

  Nathaniel finds Daisy. He’s already stolen Korra’s powers.

Yo-Yo, Fitzsimmons, and Daniel went to the Lighthouse, where Yo-Yo is currently beating the circuits out of some chronicoms. Simmons is beginning to remember.

Daisy and Nathaniel fight.

Mack rescues Korra.

LMD Coulson reveals Fitzsimmons location to Sybil, who sends all of the hunters there. Then he smiles. They just needed her authorization code. May then bursts through the ceiling and demolishes them.

Mack comes in with Korra, who agrees to help them. May gives the Chronicoms empathy by sending them her power. Korra boosts the signal so that it reaches all the way down to Earth.

Daisy explodes the Chronicom ship, with her and Nathaniel still inside it. The Zephyr picks her up and Korra is able to heal her.

As it turns out, Piper and Flint were guarding Fitzsimmons daughter, Alya. She’s so adorable I can’t even take it.

Flashforward to one year later. They are all sitting in the bar safehouse. Mack and Yo-Yo still work at S.H.I.E.L.D., Fitzsimmons retired to take care of Alya. She’s learning to swim and receiving copious amounts of presents from her extended family. Daisy got Daniel a typewriter and showed him the movie E.T. He cried like a baby. LMD Coulson is seeing the world and figuring out what to do with himself.

As it turns out, none of them are actually there. It’s a holographic phone call of sorts. They talk about Deke and promise to make this a yearly tradition.

Yo-Yo gets off the call. She’s in a car with Piper and a DAVIS LMD! That was what Piper had Fitzsimmons give her.

May is a teacher at Coulson Academy, where Flint also goes. LMD Coulson is welcome anytime.

Fitzsimmons are in a park with their daughter. They’re happy and I’m emotional.

Mack sent LMD Coulson a package. He’s on a helicarrier wearing a Nick-Fury trenchcoat like a boss.

Daisy, Daniel, and Korra are in space.

LMD Coulson opens the briefcase that Mack sent him. The code is the show’s number of episodes and MACK BUILT LOLA. I REPEAT, THE LAST SHOT OF AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D IS COULSON RIDING OFF INTO THE SUNSET IN LOLA!!!!!!!

After a generic 70s tv show intro, the episode begins with LMD Coulson and May walking around New York. He’s still trying to get an emotion out of her, and she’s still not giving one.

Daisy and Daniel are shopping, or rather, they are supposed to be. Daniel thinks that 1970s fashion is ridiculous and so he keeps the suit, which works in any decade. When LMD Coulson and May meet up with them, he asks all of the questions about time travel that the team has been asking and we’ve been asking. Daisy tells him that he’ll fry his brain if he thinks about it too long. They then all go to the speakeasy to find Enoch.

Simmons and Deke talk on the Zephyr.  She tells him that Freddie’s funeral was three years ago, so he shouldn’t be a problem now. He asks about Fitz and she starts acting very strange.

She’s forgotten what Deke calls Fitz and she’s continuously rubbing her neck. When Deke leaves, we see that there is something there, something not natural.

Yo-Yo and Mack are in the Lighthouse for date night, also known as checking up on the timeline. The Lighthouse was supposedly abandoned as a S.H.I.E.L.D. base in 1972, but Mack and Yo-Yo discover that’s not the case when they see someone’s coffee still hot.

May is getting a contact high from touching drunk people. Once she sobers up a bit, she tells Daisy that nobody has seen Enoch for over a year. She also has no idea what all of these people are celebrating.

LMD Coulson and Daniel see Rick Stoner, who Daniel knew as little Ricky and who I will always know as Kronk. Stoner begins a speech by introducing his boss, none other than Freddie, who is definitely not dead. The news gets worse, as the thing that they are celebrating is Project INSIGHT, also known as the Hydra plan from Captain America: Winter Soldier.

While Coulson explains to Daniel why this is very very bad, May talks to Stoner. After hitting on him doesn’t work, she pretends to be from HR. She asks him about INSIGHT while still heavily flirting with him. He says that INSIGHT is still a good three years away.

Daisy gets hit on by none other than Gideon Malick. Ew. When he refuses to take no for an answer, Daniel saves her by pretending to be her fiancé. She also finds out that Nathaniel Malick is still alive, which he is not supposed to be.

LMD Coulson calls Simmons and explains the situation.

Mack and Yo-Yo figure out that someone has been rerouting power in the Lighthouse. Yo-Yo then gives him a refresher on Bond movies. I love that they’re back at a movie referencing phase of their relationship, especially Yo-Yo. She’s been through it the past two seasons.

Daisy and Daniel find Freddie’s office and find the INSIGHT list which has people on it like Bruce Banner, who is at this moment a child.

The team gets made by Freddie and the Chronicons. They get out by exploiting the son who should be dead. Daisy also uses her powers in front of Daniel, and Nathaniel sees them.

They are rescued by Enoch, who references the Terminator a little too early.

On the Zephyr, they talk about how INSIGHT will be launched without the fancy helicarriers. It will be by a series of satellites. Then the computer warns them that they are about to jump. Yo-Yo tries to get out and stop it, but she can’t.

They jumped three years, to the exact INSIGHT launch date.

Enoch knows what is going on with Simmons, but before he can do anything, Daniel confronts them about jumping. Deke defends her until Mack comes in with a plan. They’re going to flood the Lighthouse to scrub the launch. Daisy is going to hack into the surveillance feed so that no one is left inside. Daniel volunteers to go with her. Yo-yo and Deke will get Freddie and bring him in. They’ll figure out what to do with him later.

The Chronicons talk to Freddie. Because of the events in the bar, they now understand leverage.

When Daniel makes fun of the size of her computer, she shows him her phone. His head practically explodes when she shows him the pictures it can take. Daisy gets into the surveillance feed and allows LMD Coulson and May a way in. Nathaniel shoots Daniel and Daisy with what appears to be an icer.

When Daisy and Daniel don’t respond, LMD Coulson and May need a new plan. They find Stoner and LMD Coulson tells him what’s going on and why they need his help. May touches him and then knocks him out because he didn’t buy it. They then steal his keycard to get through the rest of the checkpoints.

When Deke and Yo-Yo burst in on Freddie, he refuses to come with them. He instead starts in on a good old-fashioned villain monologue. Unfortunately for him, Deke cuts it short by shooting him. Yo-Yo takes a folder that was given to Freddie by the Chronicons and looks inside it.

LMD Coulson and May plant the charges to flood the Lighthouse and only need Mack’s signal to blow them. Mack is about to give it when he notices something. His parents are there, and they will die if the Lighthouse is flooded. He aborts the mission.  

LMD Coulson and May get arrested.

Mack decides to shoot it out of the sky. This works, but it also gives away their position to the Chronicons.

Nathaniel wants instructions from Daniel Whitehall about how to transfer inhuman powers. He wants Daisy’s powers for himself.

The episode starts in New York City in 1931. A group of policemen is waiting for someone, but they get Chronicons instead. The Chronicons kill two of them and then one of them uses a device to take the police leader’s face. The person that the policemen were going to meet comes in and the Chronicons shoot him.

We get to see the scene where they activate LMD Coulson again. His last memories were from the Framework, which guts me because he won’t remember being with May. Daisy tells him that he’s an LMD. Simmons tries to explain, but Coulson finishes her explanation. He doesn’t know how he knows the word Chronicon and it triggers all his memories from the past two years. He overloads and Mack shuts him down. Daisy and Simmons protest, but he’s the Director. This is his call. Building an LMD Coulson should have been his call too, but for now Simmons just needs to tell them everything she knows.

She knows that the Chronicons are trying to take over Earth. She knows that they want to do it by destroying S.H.I.E.L.D. before it became S.H.I.E.L.D. She doesn’t really understand how they can time travel or why the Chronicons are at this time and place specifically. Enoch is with her and Fitz isn’t so that the Chronicons can’t scan Fitzsimmons’ minds again. Also, May is currently stable.

Mack sends Deke out for supplies because he’s probably the least conspicuous person to go out and do so. Yo-Yo is in quarantine, fake laughter real pain, so she isn’t going anywhere, and Daisy has to take the purple out of her hair before she goes anywhere.

Mack turns LMD Coulson back on and they talk. LMD Coulson knows that Coulson didn’t want this, but Coulson also told Mack to trust his team, and Simmons is his team so he’s gonna go with it for now.

Simmons and Enoch found the police report about the dead cops, who are now faceless. In a very Barney Stinson moment, Mack tells everyone to “suit up.”

While Mack, Coulson, Daisy, and Deke walk to the crime scene, they talk about theories of time travel. Deke explains the time stream theory. Essentially, pebbles aren’t going to do much, but if you change too much, you can dam the stream, and that is when you have a problem.

When they get to the crime scene, Deke gives them badly printed police badges. It turns out that they are Canadian Mountie badges. One of the cops won’t let Daisy in, so she has it out with him.

He eventually lets her in, and they find the one man that still has his face. He’s a bootlegger and his booze bottle has a swordfish on it. LMD Coulson tells them that there was an old S.H.I.E.L.D. safehouse that used to be a speakeasy. The password to get in was swordfish.

While Yo-Yo and Simmons are working on May, they talk. Yo-Yo’s body is breaking down the Shrike material, so she should be able to leave the Zephyr soon. Fitzsimmons made her new arms because this is 1931 and people don’t have metal arms. Yo-Yo doesn’t initially want them, but Simmons asks her to think about it.

Mack and LMD Coulson go to the speakeasy. The SSR asset that they’re looking for is called Gemini, but when they ask for him, they get guns to the head.

The Chronicons get to the crime scene and see Daisy. They plan to divide and conquer, killing all S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel. One of them isolates Daisy and another goes for Deke. Daisy and Deke take care of them. Deke then hotwires a car and puts one of the Chronicons in the back.

The guy that Mack and LMD Coulson are looking for is dead and this causes them to get into a fight with the bartender and a couple of others. LMD Coulson is already dead, so he decides to be a bit reckless. It turns out that he’s bulletproof. This brings the attention of the owner of the speakeasy: Ernest Hazard Koenig.

Yo-Yo decided to try out her new arms. She and Simmons talk about how many times Fitzsimmons have been separated.

They get interrupted by Daisy and Deke showing with their stolen car and unconscious Chronicon.

Mack and LMD Coulson spin the Chronicons as a new gang. Koenig tells them that he’s hosting a party for the governor of New York, a one Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR was the one that founded the SSR, which eventually turned into S.H.I.E.L.D. He would be the perfect person for the Chronicons to assassinate.

At the party, Mack is trying not to kill every person that speaks to him. Daisy and Deke show up and LMD Coulson makes a dad joke, which lightens my heart.

Enoch tells Simmons that the hunter they have captured is immune to torture. Simmons has an idea. She’s going to flood his system with so much data that he overloads. Then he might tell them something useful.

Daisy apologizes to LMD Coulson for turning him on since he never wanted to be an LMD. They talk about how weird it is until FDR walks in. Yes, you read me right. They think that the Chronicons are going to hit when leaves for his out of sight wheelchair. LMD Coulson and Daisy get to him and he’s fine.

Simmons does her job a little too well. The Chronicons overheats and melts, but not before revealing that the bartender is the target, not FDR.

The bartender, Freddie is meeting with someone who I last saw in an ABC Family mive about princesses.

Simmons tells the rest of the team who the actual target is.

Freddie’s contact wants him to deliver something to the docks. The Chronicons interrupt and shoot her, but don’t get a chance to shoot him.

Daisy and LMD Coulson take on the Chronicons.

As it turns out, Freddie’s full name is Wilfred Malik and he is none other than the father of Gideon Malik. The Chronicons are planning to take out Hydra so that S.H.I.E.L.D. never forms.

May is gone. In the last moments of the episode, we see her in the ceiling like a spider monkey.

The episode starts in black and white, with LMD Coulson voiceover of the day that Daniel dies.

The episode shifts to the beginning of the day and the noir setting and the voiceover is wonderfully handled as an LMD glitch that LMD Coulson is having because of the EMP. He’s in cuffs and Daniel is interrogating him. Since Coulson knows what is going to happen, he’s able to lie his way out of the cuffs as Daniel’s scientist contact to deliver something to Howard Stark.

There is only one person that he knows and trusts in this time period, so he calls Enoch. Enoch is extremely happy to talk to him, but LMD Coulson only wants to be connected to the Zephyr. Poor Enoch.

Coulson tells the team the situation. They need to find where the human version of the doctor LMD Coulson fought lives so that they can find the gadget.

Yo-Yo and Deke drive and retrieve it while talking about how history can change very very slowly. When they get to the dead man’s house, Yo-Yo finds him in the bathroom without a face. Deke gets knocked out and kidnapped.

LMD Coulson and Daniel get to the train where they were supposed to meet the team, but Yo-Yo is occupied at the moment looking for Deke.

She calls Enoch, again only to be connected to the Zephyr.

Since Yo-Yo isn’t at the train, LMD Coulson continues to wing it.

May gets really excited about the gadget, which is weird.

We get the vaguest of vague hints about what happened between Daniel and Peggy, Daniel makes a crack about Howard, and then he goes to get a drink.

One of the Chronicons approaches LMD Coulson and tries to appeal to him as a machine. It doesn’t work.

A woman starts hitting on Daniel. She’s obviously evil and Daniel is smart enough not to fall for it. She’s here to kill him and he gets saved by Daisy and Mack, who have the gadget.

They take Daniel to the plan where something weird is still going on with May. She’s completely disoriented when she meets Daniel and Simmons leads her away.

As it turns out, Daniel wasn’t killed by Soviets, but by Hydra. His superior officer in S.H.I.E.L.D. is Freddy.

That is also who has kidnapped Deke, but Freddy doesn’t recognize him from 24 years ago. Deke tries to talk his way out, but Freddy shoots one of his Hydra goons and points the gun at Deke.

Mack and LMD Coulson talk about Daniel. LMD Coulson talks about how much his sacrifice meant to S.H.I.E.L.D. and Mack compares it to the first time Coulson died. Is this his fifth life?

Daniel and Daisy talk about Hydra.

Deke blows his own cover and explains to Freddy who he is. This buys him enough goodwill to leave, this time.

Yo-Yo tells Simmons about May’s panic attack.

Enoch gets another call from Deke. He doesn’t even hesitate before connecting him.

It turns out that May is now an empath.

Right as they decide to save Daniel, he decides to leave on a motorcycle. Freddy’s goon from earlier has been sent to kill him. At first, he appears to be successful, but we later find out that he actually shot LMD Coulson who can take a couple bullets and lay in a pool for a while.

Simmons fixes his glitch on the plane and the first thing he sees in color is May, which is really sweet. Unfortunately, she doesn’t pick up any emotions from him.

They jump again, without Enoch but with Daniel. Coulson explains to Daniel who they are and what has happened.

They then turn on the radio to find out what year they’ve jumped to. The song came out in 1973, so it’s sometime in the 70s.

The Chronicon that tried to make a deal with LMD Coulson now makes one with Freddy.

May wakes up in Tahiti and Coulson is there. It’s actually a flashback. May actually wakes up in Evil Coulson’s truck. He drugged her because she has violent tendencies. Butterfly girl is all he has left, and he needs her to pull a job for him so that he can talk to May.

Mack is staring at security footage when Deke’s redshirt tells him that Deke is out of surgery. He then follows Yo-Yo to talk. They talk about Keller and then they kind of talk about their relationship, but she doesn’t want anything to do with him. She has been questioning the prisoners and she wants Mack to keep an eye on Benson.

Enoch is still having an existential crisis. Jemma and Daisy then tell him how he sacrificed his life for them in the future. He begins to tell them about the chronicon hunters when a fleet shows up and surrounds them.

Evil Coulson brings out the knives and wants to know how they all know him. He’s never been to a world where people recognize his face.

Daisy, Simmons, Piper, and Davis all think that the fleet is the Confederacy, but Enoch doesn’t. He’s right. The woman that walks through the door is also a chronicon, one that Enoch knows. Her name is Atara and she is here to judge Enoch for tampering with the universe. The chronicon home world has been destroyed by distortions of space. She knows that they have used time travel and she wants them to explain how it works. They don’t know, but she doesn’t believe them. She has a hologram of Fitz and if any harm comes to her, the fleet will scatter, and they will never find him.

Evil Coulson is beginning to understand why everyone, especially May hates him. It’s the “other thing,” as he calls it. May threatens to kill him slowly and painfully. Butterfly girl is done with her mission, so Evil Coulson drugs her again. We get another Tahiti flashback. Coulson and May flirt and drink, even though Coulson is still dealing with the “other thing,” as he calls it. When Evil Coulson wakes May up, he shoots a random guy in the head and leaves May to stab him with one of the special knives. He zombies out and they fight. He starts crystallizing and then she stabs him.

Mack is watching Benson, like Yo-Yo told him to. He explains that they need Benson at his best, and that there are people that are worried.

Enoch is trying to get Fitz released. Him and Atara may have what passes as romantic history for chronicons. He explains that Fitz can figure out time travel with the right motivation. This way they need him alive. Simmons is of course the motivation. Once Atara needs them both alive, Daisy knocks her out.

Benson and Yo-Yo talk. The knife killed the bat after six hours and its structure looks like one of the crystals. He also knows how it feels to kill a loved one.

Evil Coulson explains that the bats are called the Shrike. When they’re crystallizing, what they are actually doing is supercharging.

Yo-Yo notices that the structure of the crystals is similar to the structure of the monoliths. The man that they found was making his way toward a ley line convergence, which would give them more energy to supercharge.

Evil Coulson is a century old and has been chasing these things for as long as he can remember. He doesn’t believe that Coulson could have been just a regular person. Then it switches back and forth from Evil Coulson to Coulson. They have a couple of the same sayings. Coulson wants May to be a teacher. Evil Coulson is going to destroy the world when the Shrike’s creator arrives.

Daisy and Simmons find Piper and Davis and then they get cornered by the chronicons. Simmons turns herself in and tell them to go. Whatever happens, at least she’ll be with Fitz.

May baits Butterfly Girl and knocks her out. Then she begins to garrote Evil Coulson. They fight and talk for a minute, before she successfully knocks him out and handcuffs him to the truck. Flashback Coulson is asleep, and she does the same little motion for him as she does for Evil Coulson.

Benson needs to go to the Yucatan and then South America. He thinks that the monoliths might be from there.

A transmission comes in from Daisy. Everyone hugs and then Daisy begins to give the bad news. Before she can finish, Deke’s redshirt tells Mack that May caught him. Daisy doesn’t know who him is, so they’ve got a lot of catching up to do.

Enoch explains to Fitz what has happened, which Fitz does not take well. Enoch then releases a gas, which knocks Fitz out?

The episode starts in the bar in Kitson. The creepy guy who hit on Daisy is now talking to a woman with pink hair. Fitzsimmons and Enoch show up in the middle of the room. The hunter’s tool is called an interplanetary conveyance disk. Someone steals it.

Evil Coulson is in mood lighting in the Lighthouse elevator. He and May separate from Butterfly girl. Everyone stares at Evil Coulson as he makes his way to command. Daisy can’t handle it and Coulson wrongly assumes that she was also in love with him. May tells the team what Evil Coulson told her. Yo-Yo and Evil Coulson almost come to blows. Mack wants to talk to him in private. He tells May about Fitzsimmons before he leaves.

Enoch tells Fitzsimmons that the exit is clear. It becomes less so when the hulking green guy blocks the way and they get surrounded.

Yo-Yo talks to Jaco, on Mack’s orders. Once she tells him that they have Evil Coulson, he starts to spill. He tells her about his planet. He was the runt of eight. They were all bakers and they are all dead. He’s coughing like crazy, but he doesn’t want help until they release Evil Coulson.

Mack and Evil Coulson talk. Evil Coulson is condescending and dickish and all that Mack gets out of him is that the creator would consider himself a god. He also says that everyone just wants to follow him, and he’ll end up in charge instead of Mack.

Deke checks on Daisy. He’s horribly awkward trying to impress her and has no idea who Michael Jordan is. He then asks Daisy about Fitzsimmons.

Mack and May are talking when Deke interrupts. Daisy told him everything and he is ticked. He would have wanted to go on the mission to find Fitz. Mack was feeling abandoned but promises him that they will find them. What he needs right now is a Fitzsimmons brain to hack Evil Coulson’s tech.

Deke’s redshirt brings Evil Coulson to Mack’s office to meet Coulson’s hologram. Mack tells Evil Coulson about Coulson, but Evil Coulson refuses to budge.

Mr. Kitson is in fact the third Mr. Kitson. His grandfather built Kitson city with a dozen slaves. He’s going to send Enoch to the brothels. He has something special in mind for Fitzsimmons. It’s a game where they try not to get beheaded. Them and the creepy guy from earlier all have to hold up the blades of a guillotine. The first person to let go loses and dies. The pink lady from the beginning threatens and bribes Mr. Kitson for Fitzsimmons. He delivers an electric shock to the other guy so that he loses and dies.

Mack and Daisy talk about Coulson, Fitzsimmons, and Yo-Yo until Deke interrupts them. He hacked Evil Coulson’s tech. There are two dots moving towards each other.

Deke’s redshirt checks on Jaco, who appears to not be breathing. He then starts breathing fire. Daisy knocks him in the head with the door and then Mack puts him out with a fire extinguisher.

Both targets are in Iowa. Both targets are captured without incident. Mack tells all of this to Evil Coulson. He asks if they put the targets together. They did. They start vibrating and shrieking and they grab each other.

May tells all of this to Mack. He brings in Evil Coulson and asks for help, which Evil Coulson is willing to give in exchange for his freedom, his crew’s freedom, and his truck. The containment pod that they are in starts to supercharge and won’t be able to hold them long. Mack agrees to Evil Coulson’s deal. The Shrike don’t like cold, so May depressurizes the plane.

The pink lady, whose name is Izel ,needs a crew to travel to Earth to retrieve items that were stolen from her. She just needs a ship. Fitzsimmons find the ship from episode 3 and commandeer it.

Enoch isn’t coming with them. His mission is complete. Now he has to find a planet for his people. Fitz hugs him. Enoch gives them a communication device, so he’ll hopefully be back.
