"There are people out there who are lost, people who show promise."
Carol Danvers arrives at the Rambeau Residence and meets her best friend, Maria Rambeau. Rambeau tells Danvers that her cancer is back and she needs Danvers to take care of Goose. Danvers refuses, saying that Rambeau beat the cancer once and will beat it again. Her voice breaking, Danvers says that Rambeau should have been the one riding with Wendy Lawson, but Rambeau tells her she never wanted to be Captain Marvel. She also explains that she just has to take care of Goose until Monica Rambeau gets back. Danvers tells her she Blipped and is not coming back. Rambeau tells Danvers to remember why she is out there and to remember to come home.[2][4]
At the speakeasy in New York City, "Phil Coulson" arrives via hologram for an agreed meeting with his old team. Daisy Johnson also arrives, then Yo-Yo Rodriguez, Melinda May, and Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons. Alphonso Mackenzie arrives late, saying there was a situation in Moscow that needed his attention, which is unfortunately classified. He says he is enjoying his new offices, having a view finally. Rodriguez tells them she is not stationed there currently, in fact on assignment chasing an 0-8-4 with her team, joking that Piper might be regretting her choice of reward for protecting the Containment Module.[1][12]
Simmons asks May about her new job, which May says she finds exhausting. Leo Fitz and Simmons joke about their exhaustion being parents, and Johnson mocks them, pointing out they retired, but they talk about how tiring being parents are. "Coulson" says that Alya is great, as Simmons updates them about Alya now learning to swim and wishing she could design a fish. Mackenzie checks she got his present, and Fitz thanks them all, asking they refrain from presents beyond one a year. Simmons tells them they got a nice letter from Daniel Sousa, and Johnson says she got him a typewriter, which had excited him. She updates them that things are going well with them as they are enjoying their journey together, and he is made for their line of work and says "hi".[1][12]
Johnson turns to "Coulson" to ask how he feels now, after saying he would take the year to reassess, and he explains he is not in a rush to turn himself off, wishing to see more of the world first. May, Mackenzie, and Johnson each offer him a chance to join them after he finishes his sabbatical. Johnson's hologram flickers, and Rodriguez tells them she is approaching the drop zone and will have to go. May admits she has a group waiting, and Johnson says they are losing signal approaching a nebula, so they agree to call the end of the meeting. Simmons suggests meeting every year, and they agree, refusing to lose touch after all they have been through together, recalling the times they have died or been taken over like zombies. They reminisce about Deke Shaw, assuring each other he is probably doing fine.[1][12]
Rodriguez disconnects from the call, as she is driven by the Life-Model DecoyJames Davis made by Fitz and Simmons, who Piper, also in the car, is becoming increasingly frustrated with, to Rodriguez's amusement. Rodriguez opens her car door and speeds out to her target compound.[1][12]
May tells Mackenzie she will be sending him some name recommendations, and asks "Coulson" to come by during his travels to tell some stories to S.H.I.E.L.D. newcomers. She disconnects from the call, and Flint finds her, telling her she is late to class. May jokes that since she is giving the lecture, she is not late, but "dramatic", as they make their way through the Coulson Academy.[1][12]
Simmons watches as Fitz plays with their daughter and smiles
Leo Fitz tells the team Alya is bothering him for attention, so they should go and get back to their picnic with her, as she has been patient. He disconnects. Simmons tells Johnson she will email her the anatomy analysis she's waiting for after Fitz is asleep, calling it interesting. She disconnects too, and watches her husband playing with her daughter in the garden, the three of them happy.[1][12]
Mackenzie checks with "Coulson" that he has received the package from him. He gives him the code 1-3-6, saying there is an additional present inside. "Coulson" asks if it is what he thinks it is, and Mackenzie admits he could not help himself, still a mechanic at heart. He disconnects from the call and returns to work aboard his Helicarrier.[1][12]
With only Johnson and "Coulson" left on the call, Johnson says she is glad he is seeing the world, but that he has a talent for finding lost people with promise, as is shown by what he put together with their team. He asks how things are with Kora, and Johnson says Kora is doing well because of someone believing in her, the way "Coulson" once did for her. "Coulson" asks her to call him when they get back. He disconnects, and Johnson does too.[1][12]
Quake's new team in outerspace
Aboard Zephyr Three, Johnson assures Sousa the team are doing well. Kora calls her from the cockpit to come and look, and the couple join Kora to witness the beauty of the nebula they are approaching as a group.[1][12]
"Coulson" retrieves the package from Mackenzie and opens it, finding his deactivation button for when he is ready, and car keys. "Coulson" presses the keys and hears the vehicle unlock nearby, finding it to be a familiar red Corvette. He gets in the new L.O.L.A., dons his shades as he had done so often, starts it up, and activates its jets, as it transforms into a sleeker, black, more upgraded version of the flying car. He notes the upgrade as "cool", then starts moving, flying off to his next adventure.[1][12]
â 2.02.12.2In We Interrupt This Program, Dr. Highland says that Maria Rambeau died âthree years agoâ shortly after Hulk snapped his fingers to resurrect those who died in the Snap on October 17, 2023 (see 2023 references). This could mean âexactly three years ago,â meaning she died on October 17, 2020, or a more general 2023 - 3 = 2020, meaning anytime during the year. A weighted average, putting more weight on the more specific, places Rambeau's death on September 11, 2020. Highland also says that her death was âtwo years afterâ Monica Rambeau died as a result of Thanos snapping his fingers, which happened on May 31, 2018 (see 2018 references). Applying the same process, this would place Maria's death on approximately June 10, 2020. Finding the average of these two dates, Maria Rambeau died on approximately July 26, 2020. The Marvels reveals a conversation between Maria and Carol Danvers after Maria's relapse but before her death. Cancers that are going to relapse tend to do so within the first two years. Rambeau is only now telling Danvers, suggesting the relapse was recent but also that she is likely to die soon. The relapse and conversation can be distributed between the start of 2020, placing the relapse on March 10 and the conversation on May 19, 2020.
â 5.05.15.25.35.4Sometimes the Marvel Cinematic Universe alludes to events that happened in our world, and it is assumed they happen on the same dates in the universe, for timeline purposes.
â 7.07.17.2In What We're Fighting For, flashbacks are shown of Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons' life following their move to Theta Serpentis on July 4, 2019 (see 2019 references). They spent 4 years together, suggesting they jumped back in time around July 2023. It can be taken as a specific 4 years, so roughly July 4, 2023, or a more general "2023 - 2019 = 4", so any time in 2023 (approximating with mid-year). Putting more weight on the more specific, it can be approximated to July 3, 2023. This is suitable, given Leo and Simmons have been celebrating Alya's birthday, and if they have traveled a near exact number of years, this means Alya's birthday aligns closely with the date on which she becomes a year older, simplifying her birthday. Harlow Happy Hexum was 4 years and 10 months old during filming, suggesting Alya is around 4 in the 2023 and returned-to-2019 scenes, and 5 in the following 2020 epilogue scene. However, Alya was conceived no earlier than July 2019, meaning she was born no earlier than early 2020, thus maximum 3. So, for her to be as close as realistically possible to 4, she should indeed be born in early/mid-2020. On average, a pregnant woman finds out they are pregnant about 245 days before birth. In Brand New Day, a flashback is shown to just after Simmons has found out she is pregnant, and is implied to have been a while after they began their work. Assuming it is at least 3 months, but taking it as no more than 3 months due to wanting to maximize Alya's age, that scene may be approximated to October 4, 2019, and thus Simmons finding out her pregnancy around October 1, 2019, finally therefore meaning Alya was born around early June 2020 (roughly June 2nd). This is suitable, as in What We're Fighting For it is seemingly implied in July that her birthday has been in recent month. It can be assumed that Fitz starting to study the Time Stream is July 5, 2019, and then the scenes of the montage shown between then and the scene approximated to October 4, 2019 can be evenly distributed to July 23rd, August 10th, August 29th, and September 16th. At some point between July 5, 2019 and July 3, 2023 during the studying of the Time Stream, Fitz finds out about Kora's importance and the team being together for the final time in the speakeasy. This may be approximated to the midpoint, July 2021. Simmons appears to be about a month from birth when Leo makes her the tea, so roughly May 2, 2020. Alya appears to be about 4 months old as the family watch a film, suggesting it is around October 2-November 1, 2020, so October 17, 2020. She is about the same age when they look at the stars together as when they time travel back to 2019, so this can be taken to be shortly before in 2023 - around a week prior, so June 26, 2023.
â 9.09.1In Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Xu Xialing says that she waited "six years" before running away and founding her club. Her brother was supposed to return on April 30, 2014, so Xialing could have been referring to an exact six years, so April 30, 2020, or more generally "during 2020." A weighted calculation, placing more weight on the more specific, places Xu leaving on May 20, 2020. Given travel time and time to recover, Xu can be taken to have founded her club approximately four days later.
âIn Generation Why, Kamala Khan is shown to have eanred the Junior Aide Award from the Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts are Juniors in fourth and fifth grade, so Khan can be approximated to have been presented this award in a ceremony at the end of the school year in fifth grade. With Khan's birth approximated to March 2009 (see 2000s references), she can be taken to have received the award in June 2020.
âIn Ronin, Ana says on October 17, 2023, "I got married, we adopted three years ago, it's been amazing." This could refer to simply "during 2020" or an exact three years ago, October 17, 2023. A weighted calculation, putting more weight on the more specific, places the adoption on September 11, 2020.
âIn Spider-Man: Far From Home, the film Finding Wakanda is shown to exist by June 27, 2024 (see 2024 references). This would be made after the events of July 9, 2016 (see 2016 references). It would take at least half a year to have been released, meaning it was released between January 10, 2017, and June 27, 2024. So, its release may be approximated to the midpoint of October 4, 2020. With most films releasing on a Friday, it may be approximated to the nearest Friday: October 2, 2020.
âThe opening credits of Never Meet Your Heroes shows a montage of events in Kate Bishop's life. These events are:
Eleanor Bishop giving Kate a bow and arrow
Eleanor watching as Kate fires and hits a target twice
Kate placing a picture of her and Derek on a shelf
Kate placing a trophy on a shelf
Kate firing three arrows at two targets
Kate eating dinner with Eleanor at a young age
Kate eating dinner with Eleanor while older
Kate firing an arrow
Kate achieving third place in a fencing tournament
Seventeen ribbons and trophies sitting on Kate's shelf
Eleanor placing her hand on Kate's shoulder as Kate fires an arrow
Kate achieving second place in a fencing tournament
Kate as a yellow belt fighting a black belt in karate
Kate losing a fencing match
Kate touching her opponent in a fencing tournament
Kate as a black belt
Kate doing a flip on a bar
Kate firing three arrows at three different targets
Kate making first place in a fencing tournament
Kate standing on a balance beam on one foot
Kate standing on the roof of a building on one foot and jumping onto another building
Kate is shown asking Eleanor for a bow and arrow is dated to May 9, 2012 (see other references), so her receiving the bow, which is shown to be soon after, can be taken to be the next day. Since the montage details Kate's training, it can also be understood that the first scene of Kate firing her bow and arrow is meant to be the first time she used it, placing that scene on May 10, 2012 as well. In Never Meet Your Heroes, Eleanor says to Kate, "I still remember when you got your black belt at 15." This event is dated to December 15, 2017 (see 2017 references). It takes approximately 54 months to earn a black belt. However, in Hide and Seek, Kate says, "I, uh, started martial arts training when I was five." It must therefore be taken that she started at five, but did not take it seriously until after she decided she would protect her family in 2012. Using 54 months prior to when she earned her black belt, June 2013, as a starting point, Kate would have earned her yellow belt at the 3 month mark, in September 2013. She would have earned her orange belt, therefore ending her time as a yellow belt, that December. This fight can therefore be approximated to the midpoint of these dates, October 15, 2013. The scenes preceding this scene can therefore be evenly distributed between May 10, 2012 and October 15, 2013. Similarly, the scenes that follow this scene can be evenly distributed between October 15, 2013, and the start of the present day events, December 19, 2024 (see 2024 references), while keeping events clear of events given more specific dates.
