'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Season 4 Spoilers: Is Jeffrey Mace Gone for Good?
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." season 4's previous episode was breath-taking. Thus, fans are probably clamoring for more of the hit ABC series. Luckily, the show's producers Jeffrey Bell and Jed Whedon have something to share. The bad news, however, is Jeffrey Mace's (portrayed by Jason O'Mara) death is inevitable.
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." fans probably do not know much about Jeffrey. He started off in the series as an insular servant.
Even so, as the series' story progresses, O'Mara's character eventually improved. Fans were just starting to get to know Jeffrey more but his character died.
In "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." season 4 episode 18 titled "No Regrets," Jeffrey and Phil Coulson (the character being played by Clark Gregg) went to the Hydra Enlightenment Camp.
But then as they were doing their job, the Hydra Quinjet started to collapse. Jeffrey sacrificed his life so everyone can escape.
The scene surely left a lot of fans brokenhearted. Many are probably wondering if something supernatural will happen to Jeffrey for it to return; after all, it is a Marvel series, anything can happen.
However, the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." showrunners revealed that he will not be returning in the show anymore. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Whedon affirmed, "he is really dead" both in the alternate world as well as in the real world.
If Jeffrey's heroic act did not happen, Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen), Phil and Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) could have been dead too. And speaking of Melinda, thanks to her, Daisy will affiliate herself with an "unlikely" accomplice in the upcoming episode of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." season 4, according to the show's official synopsis.
See what will happen next to "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." season 4 as it returns for episode 19 titled, "All the Madame's Men" on Tuesday, April 25, at its new time slot 10 p.m. EDT.
