Season 6 begins one year after the season 5 finale. When asked how the events of “Avengers: Infinity War” will affect the show, Head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb said the time jump will set the show after the events of the upcoming “Avengers: Endgame,” which will debut in theaters weeks before the premiere.
The premiere builds up many mysteries that the audience won’t know the answers to right away, so don’t be surprised if the episode confuses you.
Coulson has died in the gap between seasons 5 and 6.
Simmons is becoming increasingly desperate to find her missing husband and is crossing a few lines in the process.
“Collateral’s” Barry Shabaka Henley will play a former colleague of May’s who helps the SHIELD team.
SHIELD agents Davis and Piper will return, along with a few new agents who are working under Mack as the new director of SHIELD.

Jeff Ward’s Deke did not appear in the episode, despite his recent promotion to series regular. Ward joked that “This is the most you’ll see of me all season.”
Finally, viewers will see Clark Gregg’s unexpected return by the end of the episode, but it won’t be a pretty one…
