Well with that ending one theory I had heard in the past week cane to pass... {Spoiler}...that Nathaniel Malick survived. Question is...how good is he with Quake’s powers and how many more Inhuman powers has he stolen?

The most unrealistic thing in this episode was that Mack is apparently in his 40's, yet there wasn't a hint of grey in that beard. I mean, I guess he could be dyeing it, but he didn't seem like he cared much about personal hygiene during those months on the couch. Then again, he apparently was keeping up with shaving his head.

So as far as next week... {Spoiler}...if Quake and Yo-Yo are getting help with regaining their powers from Jiyiang....it looks like the version of her before she went insane after Whitehall dissected her. That would put the episode in the mid to late eighties. If it’s the late eighties....she’s either pregnant with Daisy or we’ll get to see Baby Daisy.

They are really pulling out all the stops this season. I can't remember the last time I was on the edge of my seat for a whole episode like this. {Spoiler}Interesting choice making Yo-Yo's "bounce back" psychological. Definitely looking forward to seeing what Nathaniel's "anarchy" looks like. As an aside, Byron Mann in this week's episode makes it an Altered Carbon reunion as much as it is a Dollhouse reunion.

Episode was earlier in the 80’s than I was expecting which of course meant it was too early for my theory. Gonna guess from the look of the next episode... {Spoiler}...that after they emerge from the loop into the timeline they were creating...Malick and Cora have been up to no good and the timeline is completely wrecked beyond repair.

{Spoiler}How do we feel about the final big bads apparently being evil Daisy knockoffs, in terms of power?

Whew. What an episode. Only four left and I have a feeling they deal with Malick sooner than later. Question remains...will they finally deal with the elephant in the room and address Infinity War and Endgame? Honestly I’d be happy either way if they did or just went out on their own note.

Then: "I Love You 3000"
Now: "As I Have Always Been"
Forever:

One theory I read as to why Simmons freaked out when she took Diana out...I don’t quite buy... {Spoiler}...that Fitz is dead and she had to put that mental block in to mentally be stable enough to go on the mission. They literally killed Fitz two seasons ago. They won’t kill him off again with zero appearances in the final season. I honestly think she remembered not only where Fitz is but their daughter...Diana.

See, I didn't even think of all that {Spoiler}I figured her reaction came from understanding that, due to Enoch's programming, the second he knew that his power source was the only way to save everyone, he would do what needed to be done. She basically sentenced someone she considered a close friend to death.

A lot of things came back to her at once.
Question is...Enoch said this would be their last mission as an unit. What do we think will happen to them all? Predictions?
Fitz and Simmons retire from Shield to take care of their daughter and Deke joins them to help raise his mother.
Coulson I’m unsure of...either he comes to grips with being a LMD or replaces OG Coulson in one of the last four episodes to bring the real deal back to the MCU. May I’m not sure...I could see her going out in a blaze of glory if they don’t bring old Coulson back.
I can see the rest staying with Shield in a slimmed down team or they splinter off in their own directions. I can see Daisy possibly bonding with her mother and sister if Whitehall never gets the chance to drive Jiayang insane...maybe even help lead a new generation of Inhumans at Afterlife....possibly staying with Shield and doing both. I can see Sousa joining modern day Shield.
Mack and Yo-yo could go either way. They were run through the ringer this season so I could totally see them hang it up.
If we get that rumored Shield/Sword series with Nick Fury and Maria Hill on Disney+...I can almost guarantee it’s not the last we’ll see of the cast.

It’s not like it’s a Netflix situation where they could go either way because the show only ran for 1-2 seasons. Agents ran for 7 seasons and these guys are synonymous with these characters at this point.
The site I read the news on the possible Fury series is usually pretty spot on with their sources...or they’re just very good at reminding you of their successes. The word was it would indeed be a SWORD series with Fury and Hill returning along with Talos and his wife. The villains are supposedly going to be Thane with Supergiant as his backup. The Agents would supposedly barely appear the first season but show up at the end to back them up. We’ll see. It’s all a lot of speculation at this point.

He does like throwing fans a bone, though, and AOS hasn't lasted seven seasons without amassing a significant fanbase, which is why I think he'd be willing to bring the cast back even if they're not portraying these exact versions of the characters. I'd be totally down for that. {Spoiler}The world needs more Talos.

{Spoiler}I can get behind a Daisy/Sousa ship. I really hope they don’t kill Sousa off. Daisy deserves to have a relationship that doesn’t end with someone dying or turning evil.

Holy crap I just figured something out... {Spoiler}...since John Garrett joined Malick years before he joined Hydra...they’re totally going to redeem Grant Ward aren’t they?

I’m ready for Nathaniel to get squashed like a bug. His inevitable death better be as satisfying as Thanos’s death.
