So I decided to look back in retrospect at what the interviews and alleged set photos have promised us is in store for us this season. I'm curious as to how they're all going to be written into the finale:

• Hunter: I didn't look too deeply into this, but iirc Nick Blood was spotted along with several cast members just as Simon Kassinadas was. Hunter will probably return as part of the stinger, or at least will be tied to season five in some manner.

• Graviton: In an interview with Jed Whedon that was released just prior to Self Control (LMD pod finale), he promised us that a tie in with Gravitonium will occur in some manner in this arc. He said "We would not be doing our jobs as well as we could if we left that unanswered.We move so fast and we move past stuff, but when you get that thing that you care about called back to, there’s a reward there that you deserve." This will probably be the stinger, and I can actually imagine The Superior making it out of the finale alive in order to find Ian Quinn and team up with him. Maybe even Hunter has been chasing Quinn down while he was off screen.

• MCU tie-in: Aside from the Sokovia Accords and the other dimensions, the level of crossover with the MCU has declined from this previous seasons this time. There hasn't been a single special guest star from any other MCU product for instance. I feel though that this might change in the finale: http://comicbook.com/2016/09/24/is-the-punisher-headed-to-agents-of-shield-/ I'm not sure how they can add such a connection in an already jam packed finale. Maybe Robbie rides off with Frank in his last appearance. I also do recall Jeph saying something about how he gets a lot of heat for coining the tagline "It's all connected", but he feels that it'll change this season. He has nothing to account for that so far.
