The Inhumans finale was the best episode the show for me. I thought it was actually reasonably alright. No timeline evidence, but the stuff it sets up actually means that if the show does not get renewed, which I'm pretty sure it won't, there is a good chance of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. crossover, depending on the direction Season 5 takes. It means that there is an opportunity for potential further timeline evidence in the future. Also, the events of this episode - without spoiling - present another case of "If this occurs before a certain event, then why in that event is this not addressed? It's kind of a big deal?" But to that I'd say that it's not enough to move Inhumans past Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Season 4. It's like the blob in Missouri or the events of the Netflix shows - sure, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't mention it, but that just has to be accepted. They don't mention everything - and there's a good chance they may never mention this event in Hawaii. Plus, Season 4 would be picking up 7 months after this - maybe they discussed it a long time ago (like how the episode after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is 3 months after the blob incident... it could have long since passed).

I don't think it's worth holding back the Inhumans timeline on the off-chance of future evidence, because it could be a very long time, or could just never happen. It's like the "official MCU timeline", we can't stall our work for it.

I think late August 2016 is a perfectly reasonable placement, between late June and late October. I will write my rough notes for Episode 8 soon, and have a final pass at the past dates with some new info, and then we can have it written up and placed onto the 2016 page soon. I don't think Inhumans events should have any date on them though, as it's definitely not impossible for it to be 2017, seeing as the Terrigen outbreak was the dispersion of the crystal - there's a chance that the woman from Episode 1 just was exposed to it a while after it finished its complete dispersal. But yeah, there we go.
