Spoilers

I have been waiting for the perfect time to finish up the fourth season of Agents of Shield on Disney +. The final seven episodes of this season, which had been split into three sections. This third section of the season was entitled “Agents of Hydra.”

The section included our heroes inside the virtual world called the Framework, which had been around from the early part of the season. It was where Aida had entrapped May, before she replaced her with an LMD. Now, it has expanded as a “prison” for Coulson, May, Mack, and Fitz. Daisy and Simmons entered the Framework on their own accord to try and rescue their friends.

Each of the characters had a regret changed, and it led to the following:

• Coulson: was a social studies teacher, who made his own soap
• May: Was one of the top agents at Hydra, which had won the war with Sheild.
• Mack: Was living a life with his daughter, Hope, who was alive.
• Fitz: Was the second in command at Hydra, called The Doctor, and was doing terrible experiments and was quite horrible. His father was alive and had raised Fitz instead of Fitz’s mother.
• Ward: Was alive and with “Skye”. Ward was still a double agent, this time a Shield agent and a good guy.
• Simmons: When she found her avatar, the avatar had been killed and so Jemma had to dig ehrself out of a grave.
• Daisy: Called Skye still, she was an agent of Hydra and in a relationship with Ward.
• Patriot: Still leading Shield as a hero, died saving a bunch of kids.
• Aida: Was in charge of Hydra, taking the guise of Madame Hydra, and was tied to Fitz.

Lots of returns happened this season too. We got to see Trip again, which was cool. He was helpful in the rebellion. Robbie Reyes, aka Ghost Rider, came back to help finish off Aida and take charge of the Darkhold. Talbot returned, with the same schtick he always had and got shot in the head by an LMD of Daisy. He survived, but ended the season in a coma.

It was sad to see Mack have to say goodbye to his daughter again, as the Framework was shutting down. Yo-Yo went into the Framework to try and convince Mack to come back with her.

Radcliffe sat alone on the beach, toasting the end of the world they had created and he disappeared.

The tag at the end sets up Coulson on a space station somewhere, as the next arc for season 5.

I did enjoy the shorter story arcs that this season had done.
