Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD drops us smack-dab in the heart of the 1970s this week. Can they stop the Chronicoms before they get too far ahead?

Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD hasn’t slowed down much in the last few seasons. And this final season is no exception.

Every two episodes, we time jump about two decades, which puts us right into the heart of the 1970s for this week.

Here is the official synopsis for this week’s episode, “A Trout In the Milk,” courtesy of ABC:

"“After a bumpy landing in the disco decade, the team – Daniel Sousa in tow – reunites with more than one familiar face at the S.H.I.E.L.D. hangout and discovers exactly how to dismantle the Chronicoms’ latest plan. But when they get too close for comfort, the Zephyr unexpectedly leaps forward again, this time to a date pivotal to not only the future of S.H.I.E.L.D. but to the future of Director Mack as well.”"

Oh snap, we’re not spending more than an episode in the ’70s? Well … that’s not true. It may lurch them forward another few years; they could still be at the end of the ’70s when they time jump.

Agents of SHIELD
MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. – “Alien Commies from the Future!” – A surprise leap forward in time has stranded Enoch in 1931 and landed the team in yet another unfamiliar decade. Now, in order to stop the chronicoms from launching their newest future-dismantling plan, the agents will have to infiltrate one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s most secure bases. They won’t be able to succeed without help from a familiar face or two on an all-new episode of “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” airing WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10 (10:00 – 11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC. – (ABC/Mitch Haaseth)HENRY SIMMONS /

What exactly do we think will happen with Mack? Are the Chronicoms jumping to ruin his family life? Make him go with his brother on a motorcycle trip to California they always wanted to do? And get in a serious accident on the way?

I suppose neither the Chronicoms nor SHIELD can control their time-jumping (that we know of), but man … you would think the Chronicoms would be smarter about things like this.

It’s also possible that we do a large time jump to the 2000s when Mack joins SHIELD initially and we finally get Bobbi and Hunter back on the show. I know I’m not the only one who desperately misses them and hopes we get to see them one last time.
