Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. - 10 Things You May Have Missed In The Series Finale

10. A Brand New S.H.I.E.L.D.

For most of this final season, the team have found themselves trapped in an alternate timeline pursued by the villainous Chronicoms. After Fitz discovered that they could return home through the Quantum Realm, the heroes realised they couldn't leave this world to be decimated by them as, unlike the Framework, it actually exists.

Initially, World War II hero and Agent Carter Daniel Sousa offers to remain behind as he was given a second chance after being pulled from his own time period. Sensing that he and Daisy have a future, Deke shuts down his offer, pointing out that he has more scientific qualifications and gets to enjoy being a "rock God" in this timeline. With that, he sends his teammates back to their own reality.

It's certainly not a sad ending for him, though, as when that world's S.H.I.E.L.D. agents ask if he's now the new man in charge, he responds with a resounding, "Yes," confirming that he will be remaking the organisation in his own image. It's a shame that's unlikely to be revisited, as it would be pretty badass!
