“Where the hell am I?”
Simmons, we’re asking ourselves that same exact question.
She even tries to use her cell phone, because why wouldnt you?

(Maybe outer space has great reception.
I mean,The Martianhad Mark Watney growing potatoes on Mars, so anythings possible.)
She quickly surmises that shes on another planet, which throws her into a disbelieving panic.
Jemmas first few hours are filled with, well, everything that youd expect from our favorite resourceful scientist.
She convinces herself of the rationale regarding standard S.H.I.E.L.D.
protocol for extraction when an agent gets left behind.
She keeps herself optimistic by reminding herself that Fitzhasto be looking for her.
And theyre going to dinner.
Simmons thinks shell sleep and continue her journey toward finding a way home when its light out.
But when she wakes up, theres still no sun.
And after 71 hours, theresstillno light, and Simmons is starting to lose it.
NEXT: In your face, Neil Armstrong!
Ninety-nine hours: Simmons is still searching for water.
Youd be so proud of me.
(Jemma, WE are so proud of you.)
I know you wont give up, she tells the picture.
So I wont, either.
Unsurprisingly, Simmons isnt too happy about this development.
(By the way, did you all catch the Easter egg of the name Brubaker, a.k.a.
famous comic writer Ed Brubaker?)
is a real thing.
Simmons wants to know how NASA knew in the first place that the planet would be survivable, butthatsclassified.
Will thinks theres no hope, but Simmons is convinced there are scientific explanations for everything.
Shell be the voice of hope, hell be the voice of doom…itll all work out.
Thats a little more than a best friend.
You all know I agree.
Two months later, Simmons is no closer to finding an answer for how to get home.
But Simmons also finds something else: answers in the stars.
If Simmons didnt believe in Wills death stories, its safe to say that she does now.
But Simmons could care less shes realized how to get them home.
And because Jemma Simmons is a genius, she fixes the satellite.
Yes, the two end up sharing a kiss, but Im not totally bothered by it.
And all of that determination that got her to this point?
It was due to Fitz in the first place.
Shes not moving on… shes just accepting her fate.
Or, they are until Simmons sees the flare Fitz sent into the portal a few episodes earlier.
They take off running, and of course, death chooses that moment to make his appearance.
(As we saw at the episodes very end, hes still there.)
And hell do anything if it means she can get back to her old self.
