Poor Simmons undoubtedly won’t be happy to be stuck in space yet again, although at least she has company during her journey this time.
There’s precedent for the series suddenly sending characters into space, as we saw with Simmons’ stint on Maveth in Season 3.
The first 17 minutes of the Season 5 premiere were released, and they explained how exactly all the agents except for one were actually taken up into space.
Still, this should be a pretty inconvenient twist for the characters, especially when some of them will still be dealing with the aftermath of the Framework.
