Let's start with the death of Fitz. Since the team returned from the future, he and Jemma thought they were untouchable. How did the conversation go with Iain De Caestecker about this turning point?
Maurissa Tancharoen: âOh ... so sad.â
Jed Whedon: Iain is always down for whatever. He and Elizabeth Henstridge (who plays "Jemma") are always the two who, if you say, "Look, this next one, I'm sorry. Itâs your last episode." They would just be like, "Oh, that sounds interesting! How do we play it?" Theyâre down for whatever we throw at them. We werenât really nervous at his reaction. We know that he would a) be excited to play it, and b) understand the implications of the loophole.
MT: And we knew he would execute it perfectly.
Jeff Bell: Honestly, reading it, knowing it was coming and how it was going to happen, the choices he made [in that scene] still astounded me.
JW: It was a difficult day on set.
MT: That was a very hard day. We had a few very rough days on set that were very emotional. Also, we went into this finale still unsure if we would get a chance to do more story or not. So there are quite a few scenes that are very loaded emotionally. It definitely affected everyone.
JB: Ianâs last scene was âŠ
MT: His last day filming.
JB: It was his death scene. We were all feeling the weight of that.
JW: You could tell with Ming and Henry, who were in that final scene with Iain, that it wasnât just the moment they were reacting to. When we called "cut," they knew we were calling a season wrap, and that it might be his last moment on the show.
