- "Fate. I don't believe in it. But I know history. I know how the story goes. And when it's playing out right in front of you, it feels like you can't escape it. That fate's gonna catch up on you, tap you on the shoulder, whisper in your ear that your time's up. And then your story ends. Sometimes, the hero has to die, and there's nothing you can do about it."
- ―Phil Coulson[src]
Out of the Past is the fourth episode of the seventh season of the television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
Synopsis
It was just another average morning on July 22, 1955, when Agent Phil Coulson realized the importance of that day in the S.H.I.E.L.D. history books. With a chip on his shoulder and a genre-bending glitch in his system, he’d set into motion a chain of events that would hopefully preserve the timeline as we know it and ensure those pesky Chronicoms get the ending they deserve. What could go wrong?
