Episode 1:
1931, NYC. Night. Cut Rate Diner. Cops talking inside. Meet with..... Chronicoms! Chronicom addresses the leader. Opens a case. Takes out a gun and fires at them. The leader shoots him. What do you want? Your face. He leaves a faceless body and the Chronicoms have now dressed as the cops. The bootlegger arrives and dies.
Love the old fashioned graphic!
Coulson is our most advanced LMD. Mac wants to consider the ramifications. Coulson says Hey, guys. Why is no one talking? He liked Daisy's hair. Jemma says you've missed quite a lot. She updated his mind from the Framework. His arm doesn't feel the same. I don't feel the same. Why? Daisy says you're an LMD. Coulson says no. No! He asks Jemma how he knows the word Chronicom. Why......oh.... I died. I died and I came back. Not me. Died again and came back. Jemma says it's a lot of data flooding his mind. Daisy says you're okay. Take a breath. Coulson going over 2 years of info all at once. Mack shuts him down. Daisy yells at him. Mack orders them to shut up. LMD decisions are Director decisions. Agent Simmons, tell us everything you know right now.
Chronicoms want to take over Earth and eliminate SHIELD from history. There are critical launch windows in time and space. Why 1931? Simmons doesn't know why the Chronicoms are here. We've prepared the best we could. May is in stasis. Simmons brings them into the new Command. Enoch welcomes them. Simmons points Deke to his work station. Fitz is missing. It's too dangerous to know where he is. Simmons says we're already behind. Mack says we need to blend in. Deke, get us clothes. Daisy tells him alcohol is illegal. Simmons gives him money. Mack won't put purple hair or a contagion in the past. Like the hair but it's got to go. Daisy asks about May. Simmons says stable. Her core temp is nearly there. Daisy asks how long we've been apart? Jemma says too long. It's good to see you.
Mack wakes Coulson again. Coulson still adjusting. The real one didn't want to be brought back. Mack says Chronicoms scanned Fitz and Simmons and they have Fury's black box. They think your knowledge is crucial. You taught me that a Director has to trust his team. Can I count on you? Coulson will do anything for them. If we get back from this, then we'll reassess. Jemma and Enoch tell them what the Chronicoms did in New York. Mack says time to suit up.
They enter 1931 NYC. The fedora suits Coulson and Mack.
**I'm so happy to have this show back! I love these guys. I'll cry for the finale. Already know that. I could watch this show indefinitely. It's horrible how it's now "It's all connected" anymore. I'd love to see them back in the MCU timeline at the end, but of course, everything is secret with Marvel until it happens. No good reason to treat the show like a red-headed stepchild, though.
Daisy and the others noticing the past. Mack in a fine suit is a bit of a spectacle. Daisy worried about the Butterfly Effect. Deke tells them about the Time Stream Theory. A man at the corner seems to be listening? Mack orders Deke to not file patents here. Deke runs into that man. Team continues on. They have stars. Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The officer at the scene doesn't want to let them in. Daisy handles him with some sass and he steps aside with an apology. They look at the faceless bodies. Except the bootlegger. Deke tastes whiskey. There's a bottle here. Swordfish. Coulson remembers a history course. Password was swordfish for a safe house. Mack reminds Deke ripples, not waves.
Daisy and Deke stay and work.
Enoch working on May. YoYo asks Simmons if we can trust him. Jemma says I'm only alive because of him. May will be up in a week or two. Shrike material is breaking down in YoYo's body. It's good news. Jemma says one more thing. New real looking arms! YoYo says no. Jemma says a woman with mechanical arms will draw too much attention. YoYo doesn't want to pretend it didn't happen. Jemma tells her to take her time. When is the last time you felt something in your fingertips?
Coulson knocks on a door. Swordfish. Young man opens the door and welcomes them in. Speakeasy. Coulson takes off his hat. There's an SSR agent that went by Gemini. Kept the bar. Mack will buy Coulson a drink. Bartender never seen them before. Coulson asks if Gemini is around. They get guns pulled on them!
Daisy getting impatient. Siren outside. More cops. It's the Chronicom car!
They need their cover for tonight still. Recognize Daisy - Quake. SHIELD has followed us here. Eliminate all members of SHIELD. Abel, remember to smile.
Deke got the original faces of the cops on his computer pad. Daisy meets the Chronicoms outside, not knowing these guys aren't human. Officer asks her to inspect a suspicious car out back. The other Chronicom goes in the building after telling a real officer there may be screaming.
Deke still working. Face appears. And the Chronicom grabs him by the throat.
Daisy sees the guy hold a gun in the mirror and they fight.
Deke gets free.
Daisy gets knocked down. Deke yells Chronicoms, look out! She hits it with her powers then tells Deke to get the truck running.
Coulson says we're not here to cause trouble. They didn't kill Jimmy Bottles. Agent says you're dead. Coulson says you're right. He's testing a theory. Gets the shotgun. And then they fight. It's Koenig! Ernest in this case. Tell your goons we come in peace. Heh.
YoYo put the new arms on. Touches her face. Goes to Jemma. Arms feel strange, but better. Thank you. Jemma can't get Fitz's message. She misses him. YoYo asks if she'll reach out. Never. Truck drives into the Zephyr. The Chronicom is waking up. Jemma says tie him up.. Let's get some answers.
Koenig is touchy. Mack and Coulson have questions. Where does upstate get the supply? Coulson says there's a new gang in town. Mack says we want to take them out and keep things how they are. Koenig says we pay the cops to keep the peace. Gov. of New York is coming to a party. That's FDR. He's elected president next year, then forms the SSR, which becomes SHIELD.
Cop Chronicoms will be security at said party. Easy to assassinate a president before he's president.
**Isn't it interesting how the Chronicoms assume the changes they make will give them the outcome they want? But most of history has multiple ways something could still come to be. You have to do a ton of meddling to ensure a desired outcome.
Music at the party. Drinks. Full tables. Mack is playing waiter. Coulson, too. Deke and Daisy arrive dressed for the party. Coulson says when FDR gets here, it'll be a whole New Deal. HEH. Dad jokes, it's a glitch. Mack gives him an order. Daisy asks how Coulson is doing. Then tells Mack he looks good.
Interrogating the Chronicom hunter. Jemma will overwhelm his system. Shake up his programming and he'll spit out something useful.
Daisy and Coulson. She's sorry. For what? You didn't want to be brought back and I knew that. But I saw you and couldn't help myself. I pushed the button. I'm sorry. He says it's surreal. I died and left you a letter. But I wasn't there. It's a lot. Must've been a lot for you. She says it was a very nice letter. Maybe I'll let you read it sometime. Aww. Gov. Roosevelt enters. He's walking. Coulson tells her FDR ends Prohibition in 33. He addresses the crowd.
Mack talks a little too much. Deke gets the kid distracted on a different topic.
Chronicom tells about their anthropologists. We know the exact thread to pull to unravel SHIELD forever. Jemma pushes. Enoch says his system could shut down permanently.
Coulson and Daisy mingling. She says this isn't right. What are the Chronicoms waiting for? Coulson says maybe they don't want to expose themselves. FDR is heading for the service entrance.
A woman watches Mack leave the bar.
Jemma pulls the plug. The chronicom is still overloading.
Coulson calls out. They apologize in interrupting FDR. He sits in his wheelchair and shakes Coulson's hand. Mack and Deke come in. Where are the Chronicoms?
The lady is Freddy's contact.
Chronicom saying Freddy, Freddy, Freddy before he melts. YoYo wonders who is Freddy?
The brunette asks Freddy to go talk quietly.
Chronicom leader says wait for the hand-off, then pull the thread. To kill Freddy from the Swordfish speakeasy.
**Oooo, is Freddy the father of Daniel Sousa?? He's got similar features to Enver. Sousa had to be critical to SHIELD like Peggy Carter was. Sousa would already be born now, but a kid losing his father is enough to change his destiny.
The party. Band still in swing. Jemma tells Mack the Chronicoms are after Freddy.
The woman tells Freddy you're father and I worked together. He was very powerful until he took the coward's way out. Deliver this to the docks and your family's glory will be restored. What is it? The future. Chronicom shoots her. Daisy quakes them to save Freddy. Leader looking forward to fighting her.
The others save Freddy. Mack says meet him back at Koenig's.
Daisy gets an assist from Coulson. They fight the Chronicoms in the kitchen. She's getting tossed around. But Coulson is strong enough. They escape before the real cops show up.
Coulson carries the woman in. Freddy and Mack aren't back yet. Coulson asks why Freddy is a target. Wilfred Malick was Freddy's father.
Mack and Deke with Freddy in the car. Tell us where you need to go. He has a vial of green stuff.
They have to save HYDRA! Oh, the irony. Freddy is Gideon Malick's father.
Enoch finds May's capsule empty. He looks for her. How could you lose her. You had one job, Enoch. She's on the ceiling.
Next ep - Red Skull, HYDRA, the super serum. They can't disrupt the timeline. Deke has to shoot a young man.
Love the old fashioned graphic!
