Major Spoilers are included in this episode review. Please read with caution.

The mystery deepens, but there’s obviously more at play. It’s hard not to think about Avengers: Endgame and mixing it with my theories. Since both shows have dealt with time travel, it’s not that far of a stretch to say they live in two different universes or whatever now. Plus, the show has introduced dimension hopping, which will connect to the multiverse that Spider-man: Far from Home will dig into. But enough of my theories, let’s begin talking about what happened in this episode.

Director Mack takes the time to mourn Agent Fox, the man Sarge murdered in the season premiere. He hopes Keller, the new agent and Yo-Yo’s love interest, will get the comfort he needs from her. Yeah, he revealed right away he knew about them, but went back to business as usual in tracking Sarge and his crew. At least Mack knows how to keep his emotions in check.

May, on the other hand, is on hinge. She advises Yo-Yo to be careful about workplace romances, and this advice is clearly affected by her drive to find Sarge. This is a wound she does not need, and a reminder of what she grieved last year (last season). The fight scene between the two locations (connected via portal) was amazing… Agent Melinda May still has it.

Sarge and his crew get character development / mystery at the same time. We learn more about their past worlds / lives (?) through dialogue and actions. Also, Benson (new smart person) discovers Sarge has alien DNA mixed with Coulson’s DNA. So, Sarge is some alternate version of Phil Coulson, and definitely not an inhuman or LMD model. Plus, they have a tendency to blow up other worlds, and Sarge is familiar with the name Coulson. I blame Thanos.

The cliffhanger involving Jemma’s decision is put on hold because the story focuses on Fitz and Enoch. Yeah, I forgot a version of Enoch would return too because the timeline changed. This story felt separate from everything else (location and story placing wise), but it was needed because we have to know what Fitz is up to. I understand the redemption story as we have to remember this Fitz is “pre-season five” and is not the man we got to know last season.

Overall, keep the story going. Season 6 and 7 are going to be amazing.
