Frank Castle’s story continues in Punisher’s second episode, “Two Dead Men.” In another flashback, he’s riding the ferry with his kids, telling them stories.

Agents of SHIELD: A Life Earned

“A Life Earned,” part of a saying we keep hearing in the future of SHIELD, begins with Kasius and Daisy. Kasius is going on about how hard he’s worked to save humanity after Earth was destroyed. He also talks about the legends of SHIELD coming to the rescue, and isn’t too subtle in his threats to Daisy about how he’s going to make her talk.

Agents of SHIELD: Orientation Part 1

Last season of Agents of SHIELD ended with the team expecting to be arrested after they did what they needed to do to resolve the crises from last time around, wrapping up the issues of the Framework, Aida, and Ghost Rider. The last we saw of them was the agents going to a diner to enjoy a last meal in freedom before the proverbial hammer came down on them.
