To alleviate their outcast status, the lonely agents may pair up with a group that previously tried to destabilize the agency - Skye's (Chloe Bennet) Rising Tide.

"A huge part of Coulson's job right now is to sort of reach out and try to find all the resources he can get," explained co-creator Maurissa Tancharoen, according to Zap2It. "Does the Rising Tide play into that? Maybe."

Luckily, Coulson's crew will still have Agent Triplett (B.J. Britt) hanging "around a lot" through season 2, according to TV Line.
