Given that this is the series' final run, the show is keeping some things under wraps. No further details of each episode were usually revealed ahead of its airing. But the focus of the entire season is looking to the past to stabilize the present and the future.
Agents of SHIELD season 7 episode 4 airs on Wednesday night, June 17, on ABC.
