This time the digression is in service of introducing a new character, Flint (Coy Stewart).
Hes not the only one going through changes.
Those Han Solo references last week werent a joke; Fitz is now fully in hero mode.

Enoch offers to introduce him to Simmons, but Fitz has no time for that.
Sneaking up to Simmons from behind, he whispers a heartfelt speech that should make any FitzSimmons shipper faint.
The universe cant stop us, he says.
So lets hold off on the wedding bells for now.
In the meantime, its time for Flint to face his destiny.
Along with a gaggle of other humans, Flint is assembled for exposure to the crystals.
The mist comes up from vents beneath them, but when the mist clears, Flint is gone.
One good thing about this season is that the villains are not dumb.
It is, of course, Yo-Yo.
She tells the charming story of when her powers first manifested.
When she went to get a bottle opener, same story.
Unfortunately, this story doesnt come off quite as charming to Grill.
He zaps their metrics and threatens to turn them into Kasius.
Turns out he can throw rocks!
But in the here and now, this episode still has some explosive twists to throw our way.
Now that Fitz isnt the most intimidating buyer in the room, its time for Plan B. Fitz and Simmons get their happy reunion kiss, and now its time for the real proposal.
Wild that the characters we first met as adorkable kids are now pulling off Han-and-Leia levels of cool.
