Deke Shaw - Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki  

"I\'m kind of trying to do the whole hero thing man! Is that your pep talk? You guys get killed, who saves the world then? I told my parents not to believe in this roach-crap fairy tale, and they went and they died for it anyway. And I\'m probably next in line. But there is no way in hell that I\'m gonna let some blue Kreeper destroy that machine before I get to see whether or not that damn thing was worth any of this."

Deke Shaw is a scavenger who lived in the Lighthouse, in the year 2091 where the remnants of Humanity is enslaved by the Kree and Earth is destroyed. Growing up, Shaw\'s mother was murdered and his father sent down to the remains of Earth. He hosted a clandestine Framework program. When the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents of the past came to save the future, he reluctantly agreed to aid Phil Coulson and his team, while both seeking a profit and keeping their actions from harming the safety of the place, choosing to sell Daisy Johnson over to Kasius for a profit. Having accepted that what Coulson and the rest of the team were saying was the truth, Shaw agreed to help them get back to their own time, learning that a rogue part of the True Believers, led by his former friend Samuel Voss had killed his father to keep this from happening.

During the final stand against Kasius, Shaw put his life on the line by overloading Enoch\'s battery to power the machine that would open the White Monolith portal, to secure safe passage back to the present timeline for his S.H.I.E.L.D. colleagues. However, Shaw was miraculously hit by a shard from the White Monolith, sending him back to the present time as well, where he began working with S.H.I.E.L.D. to avert the events that would lead to the destruction of Earth. In the process, he learned that Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons were his maternal grandparents and resolved to keep them safe. During this time, Shaw developed feelings for Johnson and tried to find ways to impress her. Shaw eventually decided to leave the Lighthouse and S.H.I.E.L.D. behind to explore what Earth had to offer in case it would crack apart again and said goodbye to Johnson before giving her advice on reconciling with the team after the recent debates on how to save the world had divided them.

"It\'s nearly impossible to get fresh fruits and vegetables. But every year for my birthday, my mom would find me a big, juicy orange."

Shaw was born and raised in the Lighthouse, one of the last humans to be born through regular gestation before Kasius sterilized the entire population and regulated childbirth.

Through Shaw\'s whole life in the Lighthouse, he only learned to count to 5.

Shaw\'s mother would tell him about her mother and father and how her father was the best man she knew.

Shaw would come to know Fitz and Simmons as Nana and Bobo.

Every year on his birthday, Shaw\'s mother would find a fresh orange for him.

"I was 9 okay? When my mother got dragged away and murdered. Kasius got rid of all the elders, all the smart people, and she was one of them. And after she was gone, my dad took up the cause. He carried the torch for her. And as I got older, I begged him not to. I said that they were gonna get him, too, and I was right. He got sent to the roaches, just like the rest of them."

―Deke Shaw telling Phil Coulson about his parents\' deaths

At age 9, Shaw witnessed the arrest and murder of his mother, who was eliminated by the Kree Watch because she was considered a potential threat to the community, due to her intelligence and allegiance to the True Believers. He grew up with his father, Owen Shaw, whom he tried to stop from continuing his mother\'s work. Eventually, Owen was arrested too and sent to the surface of Earth, where Shaw assumed he was killed by the roaches.

Before his father was sent to the surface, Shaw begged him to leave the piece of the White Monolith that belonged to his mother so he could have something to remember her by. His father refused, believing Shaw couldn\'t be trusted with it.

Shaw also became good friends with Lighthouse scavenger Tess, who was aware of Shaw loosing his parents.

He also became acquaintances with True Believer member Virgil.

"Kasius puts all the 18-year olds through Terrigenesis"

At age 18, Shaw, along with the other 18-year olds of the Lighthouse, went through Terrigenesis to see if they possessed the Inhuman gene to hand over to Kasius to be sold into slavery. Shaw, however, was proven to not be an Inhuman and continued his life in the Lighthouse.

"I had to rebuild the software from scratch because Kasius had the historical archives erased. But I was able to get my hands on the servers. I gathered bits of data here and there, and the rest is guesswork."

―Deke Shaw telling Daisy Johnson about his Framework program

Shaw found the remains of the old Framework system designed by Holden Radcliffe and Leo Fitz. Shaw would then create a small version of the Framework, where residents of the Lighthouse would come and get away from the horrors of the Kree. The Kree were pleased with the idea, as it kept the residents compliant. Shaw would also use the simulation to piece together what really destroyed the Earth and had come to the realization that Inhuman S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Daisy Johnson, also known as "Quake", was responsible.

"I was not prepared for that, I got to admit. You pack a big punch for such a small package. I got to read the fine print next time. I hate wasting the charge on that thing. Honestly, I wasn\'t trying to hurt you, but you had a lead pipe at the ready, and I can\'t ri... Okay. I guess we\'ll stick with the first impression."

Having been hired by his acquaintance, Virgil, along with Jones and Jerry, to supply Metrics to a group of people, Shaw came through a cracked window of the Lighthouse, with his helmet on. He used his Gravity Puck to adjust the gravity, so he wouldn\'t get sucked out into space. He proceeded to find Virgil.

Shaw using his Gravity Puck on Melinda May.

Upon finding Jones\'s body who was killed by the Vrellnexians, Shaw dragged him to a storage space to remove his metric. Shaw removed his helmet, and proceeded to cut out the metric with a pocket knife. Sensing he wasn\'t alone, Shaw pretended to leave. After Shaw "left", the other occupant, who was Melinda May, came out from hiding. Shaw then pinned her to the wall and told her he\'s been looking for her. Assuming Shaw to be hostile, May attacked him. Because of her injury, Shaw had the upper hand. After a quick skirmish, Shaw used his Gravity Puck to pin her against the wall. He tried to talk to May afterwards, but she proceeded to kick him in the face. Having enough, Shaw muffled May as she started to threaten him.

Shaw proceeded to tie May up. He then activated a flare and threw it in the hallway to keep the roaches away. Seeing that May didn\'t have her Metric, Shaw used his knife to cut through her wrist and insert Jones\'s metric as she muffled in pain.

"Buddy! Just go with it. I\'ve been looking everywhere for you guys. Man, what a mess back there, huh? These poor suckers. Virgil you know, from R&R? He was trying to scam these guys out of some tokens. This one came running to me begging for help, the poor thing. When I get my hands on that no-good louse, he\'s gonna have some explaining to do. So where is Virgil, anyway?""He\'s dead."

Sometime after the Kree Soldiers captured Phil Coulson, Daisy Johnson, and Jemma Simmons, Shaw and Melinda May came to their rescue. Shaw managed to talk the Kree guards into believing that Virgil stole their Metrics. Coulson then revealed that Virgil was dead. As the team talked, Shaw had brief stare down with the Kree soldier. Shaw then offered if he let\'s them go, he would give him a couple of hours in the Framework.

Once in the clear, Shaw asked the team if the roaches got Virgil, to which Coulson confirmed. Shaw would tell them that Virgil was an acquaintance and that he hired him to help the team swap Metrics out. Seeing that the team didn\'t have the money Virgil owed him, Shaw planned on leaving, but Johnson stopped him. Telling him that they need his help rescuing Alphonso Mackenzie and Yo-Yo Rodriguez from the Kree. Shaw started to become confused as Coulson refered to the Trawler as a spacecraft. Shaw planned on leaving them again, but Coulson stopped him by asking for his name. After Shaw revealed it to be Deke, they heard the screams of Rodriguez. So May cunningly pinned him against the wall with his Gravity Puck. Simmons then demanded the location of the Trawler. Shaw told her it was on Level 9. So May left with Simmons to the Trawler, while Johnson left Shaw with Coulson to question him, while she went in search of Mackenzie and Rodriguez.

Shaw learns the truth about Phil Coulson.

Coulson released Shaw from the wall and continued to question him about what the Kree want with Humaniity. Shaw became confused of Coulson\'s question of why the Kree built the Lighthouse, and told him humans did and that it was built over 90 years ago. Shaw slowly became aware that Coulson and his team aren\'t from here and recollects the prophecy of people from the past coming to save Humanity. Upon realizing this, he asked Coulson the year in which he was abducted. This made him realize that Virgil\'s stories were indeed sane and the people from the past had arrived.

"We got to come up with a system, \'cause I\'m not doing this every time we take out a Kree!"

"The system is, "No more dead Kree"! We\'re two past maximum!"

Shaw and Phil Coulson reunited with Melinda May and Jemma Simmons, after they realized they were also in the future after seeing the destroyed Earth. Coulson asked Shaw if Virgil Shaw anything about his plan, which Shaw said he was still trying to come to grips with the idea of time travel. Coulson continued to question Shaw about his knowledge of the White Monolith, but Shaw denied any knowledge of it. Realizing that at the moment, they had to blend in, the three turned to Shaw, who offered three Metrics. At first May refused, but Shaw argued that this was the only way to blend in. Realizing Shaw was right, Coulson took the metrics. Shaw then led the three away.

Tess, Shaw\'s friend, and colleague arrived and demanded to know if Shaw used the Trawler without Virgil. She was, however, met with the horrible news that Virgil was killed by the Vrellnexians. Tess started to get into an argument with Shaw, before he calms her down and tells her that the people he\'s with are the people from the prophecy that Virgil talked about. At first Tess was hesitant to believe it, until Coulson gave her evidence by showing her a nickle that was still like brand new. When Tess found out that Alphonso Mackenzie and Yo-Yo Rodriguez were in the hands of the Kree, she tried to convince Shaw to go help them. At first, Shaw denied, and tried to leave. But Tess stopped him by offering to double what Virgil was going to pay him. Shaw agreed and told Tess to get Coulson, May, and Simmons to blend in while he went to help the others.

When Shaw arrived at the room where Mackenzie and Rodriguez were held captive, he saw them with the help of Daisy Johnson having killed the guards. An upset Shaw yelled at the trio, as the Kree would retaliate and kill a horde of humans in revenge. Shaw then searched for a way to cover up the mess. When Mackenzie suggested taking the Kree to where the other bodies were so the roaches could dine on them, Shaw argued that they can\'t be seen in the elevator with two dead Kree. Mackenzie then suggested they put them on top of the elevator, to which Shaw agreed too.

On the way up to Level 3, Mackenzie made note that Shaw didn\'t mention the elevator had a sky lite and that the Krees bodies could be seen. Shaw asked what a sky lite was, and the three just ignored his question.

Shaw helped them drag the guards to where the roaches were and told them not to kill anymore Kree. After the four dragged the bodies into the room where the roaches were, Johnson\'s first name, "Daisy", was revealed to Shaw, after Rodriguez told her to close the door. When Shaw showed a sign of affection towards Johnson, she denied it and the four went to regroup up with the others.

Shaw talking to Tess about Jemma Simmons\' capture.

"You see, I\'m the one person who actually pieced their history together. You want to know what kind of force could crack a planet in half? It was you."

When Shaw, Daisy Johnson, Alphonso Mackenzie, and Yo-Yo Rodriguez met up with Phil Coulson, Melinda May, and Tess, they learned that Jemma Simmons was taken up to Kasius. Shaw pulled Tess away from the others and asked what happened. Tess told him that a servant was injured and Simmons saved him. While Tess admired what Simmons did, Shaw considered it dangerous. Tess started talking about how Virgil might have been right, but Shaw denied it, saying that anyone who believed were dead. Tess acknowledged the deaths of Shaw\'s mother and father, but tried to assure him that maybe they didn\'t die in vain. But Shaw still refused to accept it and told Tess to get them to blend in and left.

Johnson grew suspicious of Shaw and tailed him, unaware Shaw knew she was following him, into a cabin where she found him and others asleep. When she approached him, a device on the ceiling put her to sleep and into a prototype Framework.

In the Framework, Johnson found Shaw in a bar arguing with the bartender, Rick, about the newspapers Shaw wanted were thrown out. Shaw told Rick to find the papers and revealed to Johnson that he knew she was there. He offered her a beer, but she denied. She sat next to Shaw and asked where she was. Shaw told her that she\'s in his recreated version of the Framework that he cobbled together from what remained of the old software. Shaw then told her that he uses the Framework as an escape for people. When Johnson compared the Lighthouse to a prison, Shaw was disgusted, and told her that prison would be nicer then the Lighthouse.

The two got into an argument of rescuing Simmons from Kasius. When Johnson threatened to tell the Kree about Shaw\'s little business, he revealed they already knew and approved of it. As Shaw was giving the people something other then endless working. Johnson believed the Kree were okay with Shaw\'s business because it kept the people compliant. The two started speaking over each other about fighting back, before Shaw yelled at her that she had not idea what fighting the Kree would do to the remaining Human population.

Shaw shows Daisy Johnson the cracked Earth.

Shaw then noticed a news report of Johnson as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and paused it. Shaw revealed to Johnson that he was the only one who pieced the history together. That it was "Quake", who cracked the Earth apart. Shaw then showed Johnson a virtual screen of the Earth "quaked" apart, much to her horror.

Shaw telling Daisy Johnson about the Multiverse theory.

"Sorry, sweetheart. I\'m just playing the long game."

After learning the truth and coming out of the Framework, Shaw and Johnson went to meet up with Phil Coulson, Melinda May, Alphonso Mackenzie, and Yo-Yo Rodriguez where they planned to, only to find them nowhere to be found. While Shaw figured they finally took his advice in blending in, Johnson believed something went wrong. Shaw believed Johnson was defecting because of what Shaw told her about her role in the Earth\'s destruction, but Johnson argued that she wasn\'t nearly as powerful as it would take to crack the Earth apart. Shaw countered with the Multiverse theory, and that there were multiple universes. But before Shaw could continue, Johnson slapped him in the face. Before the two could continue their discussion, Shaw noticed something wrong with "The Shoe Guy". He went over to see what happened, and he was informed that there was a Renewal and there was vacancies at Grill\'s salvage. Shaw relayed this information to Johnson, who decided to act on it. After Johnson left, Shaw begged her not to do anything stupid.

Shaw met up with Johnson after she received a Kree datapad from Rodriguez. Knowing Johnson was going to try and rescue Jemma Simmons from Kasius, Shaw tried to talk her out of it, saying she needs to play the long game. He tells her that with time, he can get her to Kasius with an invitation, but she ignores his warnings. As she tries to leave, Shaw grabs her arm, telling her he was not going to allow her to destroy the world a second time. Johnson quaked Shaw off her. He exhaled and called Johnson "Quake, Destroyer of Worlds". Johnson angrily left, telling Shaw never to call her that again.

Feeling as though Johnson would cause more harm then good, Shaw went to Kasius and warned him of Johnson\'s arrival.

After suffering a few hiccups, Johnson entered the hallway to Kasius\'s chamber, only to become trapped between two glass walls. She was then exposed to gas that made her woozy. Moments later, Shaw appeared alongside Kasius, Sinara, and Kree soldiers. Johnson swore that she would kill Shaw, only for him to tell her that he was just playing the "long game" before she fell unconscious.

"I want to thank you for bringing her to me. But Sinara is concerned about the prophecy that others from the past might have come."

"Prophecies are hard to decipher. Could be 2 people, could be 20."

"Well, maybe the prophecy wouldn\'t be such a mystery if you didn\'t kill everyone that knew anything about it."

―Deke Shaw and Kasius talking about the prophecy

Once Shaw helped Kasius in the capture of Daisy Johnson, he waited for Basha to leave to ask for payment for delivery Johnson to him. Shaw was rewarded with a valuable Rhodium coin. But Kasius became concerned that there were more S.H.I.E.L.D. agents from the past that arrived at The Lighthouse as the prophecy never clarified how many people would come. Shaw made a sly comment that the prophecy would be less confusing if Kasius hadn\'t killed everyone who knew about it. Kasius asked Shaw to help him find the rest, promising to compensate him if he succeeded. Not letting on of his knowledge of Phil Coulson and the others, Shaw agreed to do what he could.

When Shaw returned to processing to find the others, he was approached by Coulson and Melinda May. Coulson wondered where Johnson was. Shaw lied and told them that she was searching for Jemma Simmons. Believing him, Coulson asked for his help in infiltrating Level 35 of the Lighthouse to find any Kree technology so they can investigate the surface. At first Shaw thought they were kidding, but realized they were serious. Feeling they were suicidal, Shaw didn\'t want anything to do with their mission until Coulson shared one of Virgil\'s messages from the surface. Recognizing the voice of his father, who he thought was long dead, Shaw agreed to help, much to the suspicion of May.

Taking the elevator down to level 36, Shaw used his Gravity Puck to get up to level 35 and hack the elevator\'s controls to get Coulson and May to the level. While waiting for Shaw, Coulson and May debated on whether or not to trust him.

Entering a Research and Development lab, Shaw kept Coulson from being spotted by a Kree doctor. After the doctor left, the trio looked for anything they could use. Finding a baby, Shaw revealed that people don\'t get pregnant anymore and that he was the last one to be born the old way. Shaw went on to explain that Kasius sterilized the population through the food and decided who gets to have kids. And that they started making children themselves to increase the possibility they would become Inhumans.

Interrupting their conversation, May realized that Shaw had turned in Johnson to Kasius after seeing she was processed long before Shaw said he last saw her, and thus, punched him hard in his face. Before Shaw could explain, they were intercepted by some of the Kree Watch. Shaw tried to talk them out of a fight, but Coulson attacked one of the guards with a chair. Though the trio managed to get the better of the guards, Shaw was stabbed in his abdomen. May told Coulson to help Shaw out and find out what he knew, while she faced off against Sinara.

Shaw tells Phil Coulson the truth about his parents.

Back at Shaw\'s cabin, Coulson patched Shaw up. After making sure Shaw was fine, he punched him for his betrayal. Coulson demanded Shaw to tell him where Johnson was. Shaw tried to defend his actions, saying if he hadn\'t done what he did, Kasius would\'ve murdered countless lives in retribution. Coulson, however, didn\'t believe him and figured he wanted to turn over the people on the surface over to Kasius. At that point, Shaw accused Coulson of not knowing him. He then told Coulson how his mother was murdered by the Kree and his father sent to the surface. But was shocked to hear his voice on the radio. Coulson, not believing he can trust Shaw yet, demanded the payment he got for Johnson. Giving Coulson the Rhodium, Shaw asked if it bought him trust. Coulson tells him it buys him time and sealed him inside his cabin to prevent him from betraying others.

Shaw finds Daisy Johnson, Jemma Simmons, and Leo Fitz.

"I\'m a pragmatist! Alright. Just listen. Just listen. I told you I would lead you to your friend. There she is. And I stopped you from doing something drastic, that would\'ve gotten a lot of people killed in the process."

―Daisy Johnson, Jemma Simmons, and Leo Fitz reuniting with Deke Shaw

After being locked in his cabin by Phil Coulson, Shaw cracked a window into space to escape. Loosing many of his personal valuables in the process. Entering the Lighthouse, Shaw followed the buzz of Daisy Johnson\'s escape from Kasius with Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz (who, in the meantime, had also come from the past to rescue the others).

Shaw, wearing his helmet, met up with Johnson, Simmons and Fitz who were trying to escape from Maston-Dar, Faulnak\'s, Kasius\'s older brother, warrior who was sent after them. Johnson, unaware that was Shaw, attacked and pinned him to a wall. When Johnson recognized the voice, she removed his helmet and assumed Shaw was there to collect the bounty on them, but he told her he was there to save them. Not willing to trust Shaw, Johnson revealed to Simmons and Fitz, Shaw\'s role in her being enslaved to Kasius. When Simmons and Fitz threatened to kill Shaw for his actions, he tried to defend himself by telling Johnson that he led her to Simmons and stopped her from doing something reckless. Hearing Dar getting closer, Shaw urged them to follow him. Johnson questioned how they would know Shaw wasn\'t leading them into a trap, he simply tells her that they don\'t and leaves with them behind him.

Shaw accompanied the trio back to the Salvage yard where they reunited with the rest of the team. Initially, the others were displeased to see Shaw, but knew they didn\'t have time to argue about it. Realizing that the Inhuman Kasius was after, Flint left the group to avenge Tess\'s death, Coulson, Johnson, and Alphonso Mackenzie went after him while Shaw stayed behind with Simmons, Fitz, and Yo-Yo Rodriguez to secure the salvage yard.

Returning with Flint, Coulson told the group that they would escape via the Trawler. When Shaw asked where they were escaping to, Coulson bitterly told him the Earth\'s surface. Saying the Kree wouldn\'t follow them, and that Shaw doesn\'t have to come either. Shaw assured Coulson that he\'s sticking with them to the end, but before they could get into an argument, Flint used his Earth Manipulation powers to get them to stop and figure out what they were going to do.

Blockading both entrances with rocks, the group assumed that would hold of Dar and Sinara while they figured out an escape plan. Unfortunately, Dar used a machine gun to break holes in the wall to come through. Shaw figured out an escape plan by using his Gravity Puck as an elevator to the Trawler dock. Shaw intended to go first to show how to use it and then pass the Puck down to the person, but Coulson and Johnson didn\'t trust him not to run off and leave them to their deaths. Johnson declared Shaw would be last.

Shaw telling everyone that he wasn\'t a pilot

After they all made it to the Trawler dock, Coulson questioned if Shaw was ready to the pilot it. Shaw was bewildered who he was talking to as he wasn\'t a pilot. Johnson became annoyed, but Shaw argued that he never said he could pilot it and got in. While Coulson, Johnson, Simmons, and Fitz joined him, Mackenzie, Rodriguez, and Flint stayed behind to help the people of the Lighthouse.

Shaw with Phil Coulson, Daisy Johnson, Jemma Simmons, and Leo Fitz in the Trawler.

Getting ready to take off, Shaw became confused at Coulson mentioning his flying car and stared at Simmons and Fitz for an explanation, to which they had none. Shaw got buckled in with the hope of possibly finding his father. Shaw became furious, as they started to crash land on the surface, referring to them as stupid.

"Yeah, I guess Voss didn\'t want anymore of my family\'s blood on his hands."

―Daisy Johnson offering her condolences to Deke Shaw about his father\'s death

After crash-landing the Trawler on the surface of the Earth, Shaw and the others were rescued and brought to the defunct Zephyr One aircraft, which served as the headquarters for the True Believers, a faction led by Robin Hinton and Owen Shaw\'s best friend, Samuel Voss. After talking about the Zephyr with Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons, Voss welcomed Shaw with warm greetings and told him that his father was at a transmission tower and would be back soon. Shaw, though eager to reunite with his father, was afraid he was still angry with him after their falling out before he was sent to the surface.

While Daisy Johnson was heading the medical facility on the Zephyr, she spotted Shaw fooling around with a Grappling Claw. The two got into a conversation about their respected fathers, with Johnson assuring Shaw that his father would want to make amends with him just her father wanted to with her.

Shaw seeing the White Monolith that belonged to his mother.

Shaw was present in the medical facility with Johnson, Jemma Simmons, and Leo Fitz, as the two scientists tried to find ways to remove Johnson\'s Inhuman Control Device without potentially paralyzing her. When Phil Coulson and Melinda May found a piece of the White Monolith that brought them to the future, Shaw recalled it belonging to his mother. Thus, it was one of his father\'s most prized possessions. Shaw asked Coulson and May where they found it, only for May to tell him that it was in Voss\' locker. While the team discussed the machine that was powered by the White Monolith, Shaw snuck out.

Shaw confronting Samuel Voss about his father.

Shaw went to question Voss on why the White Monolith shard was in his locker when his father would never give it up. Voss tried to cover it up, but Shaw soon realized that Voss had killed his father. Shaw was knocked unconscious by Voss and locked in a cage.

Shaw was later set free by Johnson who too encountered Voss and the other Believers who tried to kill her. After finding out that Voss murdered Shaw\'s father, Johnson gave him her condolences. She then revealed to him that Voss also killed Hinton.

Shaw and Johnson rejoined the rest of the team. When asked what they would do now, Shaw solemnly suggested they stay in the Zephyr until they get killed by the Vrellnexians or the gravity storm. May then revealed that Hinton told her that Flint was the key to them returning to the present.

"Finally starting to get the hang of this whole good guy thing."

"Yeah, just in time for the sky to fall and kill us all. "Perfect timing Deke". What makes you say that?."

"Doesn\'t mean i\'m good. Maybe i\'m just spineless."

"If it can prevent more pain, maybe. I\'m sure you\'ve done it. My dad could be very violent, but, only when he needed to be. You learn that in the Lighthouse. A life spent, a life earned."

"That\'s my point. Shouldn\'t I be able to pull the trigger if I think that person could do more harm?"

"I don\'t think Voss is a threat to anyone but me."

―Daisy Johnson and Deke Shaw talking about his decision not to kill Samuel Voss

As the team contemplates what they will make of the approaching gravity storm, Shaw was chosen to deal with Samuel Voss by Phil Coulson. Although intending to shoot Voss, Shaw was conflicted after Voss explained the scuffle between himself and Owen Shaw. Owen, after coming at Voss with a knife, was killed in the struggle. Voss told Shaw to see their current situation from his perspective. He said he needed to hand over Daisy Johnson to Kasius before she returned to the past and destroy the world. Shaw was unable to shoot Voss and returned to the others.

Shaw returns to Zephyr One\'s control center.

Returning to the others as they were getting Zephyr One online, Coulson asked if Shaw had killed Voss. Shaw, uncertain what to do, told Coulson that Voss knew things they didn\'t, while staring at Johnson. The team prepared the take off, only for the Zephyr malfunction. The team soon realized they had to retreat to the caves with everyone else.

Shaw talking to Daisy Johnson about his decision not to kill Samuel Voss.

Later, while Shaw and Johnson were helping the others get ready to leave, they discussed Shaw’s inability to shoot Voss. Shaw thought to let Voss live made him spineless, while Johnson believed that sparing a life was always the better option. Shaw argued that killing a dangerous person was best while Johnson explained that Voss was only a threat to her. Not realizing Shaw meant her, he nodded in agreement and went to help the others leave the Zephyr.

Shaw telling Phil Coulson he\'s staying with them.

When it was time to leave, Shaw went to get Voss. Shaw stood back as he heard his conversation with Coulson about doing what is needed to do. Shaw then came out of the shadows and took Voss. When they were out of Coulson\'s earshot, Voss asked if he was waiting to get Johnson alone to kill her. Shaw denied Voss\'s question, claiming the only person he would kill was Voss himself. Voss didn\'t believe Shaw, claiming unlike the others, he\'ll do what\'s right. Shaw then pushed Voss out before telling Coulson he was going to stay with them.

As the team prepared to retreat to the cave, Jemma Simmons told them to cut the angers, as the Zephyr was upgraded to fly in space. So they could use the upgrades to travel to the Lighthouse. Shaw was against it, thinking of it as crazy. The team agreed to go with Simmons\' plan, while Shaw yelled at them; saying he used to be really good at protecting himself.

Shaw saving Daisy Johnson from Sinara.

The team struggled to get the Zephyr in the air and return to The Lighthouse, so Johnson went to fix the anchors. Shaw followed after her, conflicted. Shaw managed to stay in the shadows when Sinara showed up and a fight broke out between her and Johnson. Shaw’s loyalties were up in the air before he made the decision to save Johnson by attacking Sinara with a Grappling Claw, cementing himself alongside team S.H.I.E.L.D.. Shaw tried to fight Sinara, only to be knocked to the side. After Johnson killed Sinara with a metal pipe, she nodded to Shaw in appreciation for his help. Which he returned. With the anchors fixed, Shaw and the team took off towards the Lighthouse.

Shaw reluctantly breaking the White Monolith in half.

On the way to the Lighthouse, Shaw reluctantly broke the White Monolith shard in half, at the insistence of Simmons and Leo Fitz, as it was necessary for the plan. Shaw was happy to hear that Alphonso Mackenzie and Yo-Yo Rodriguez were still alive and waiting for them.

"You two get that thing to Flint. We\'ll worry about survivors."

"And then we kill Kasius? When does that happen? Because, some of us aren\'t getting out of here on a magic rock."

"We won\'t leave until humanity is in charge of it\'s future."

―Phil Coulson and Deke Shaw discussing killing Kasius

Shaw and the rest infiltrated the Lighthouse using the Containment Module and by using the Zephyr One as a decoy. While Enoch stayed back on the Zephyr to get the machine ready for when Flint had built the White Monolith.

Shaw asking Phil Coulson when they\'re going to kill Kasius.

On the way to Flint, Alphonso Mackenzie, and Yo-Yo Rodriguez, Shaw asked for a little more clarity on how the Monolith worked. Despite Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz trying to explain, Shaw was still at a lost. Phil Coulson then had the team split up. Having Simmons and Fitz meet up with Mackenzie, Rodriguez, and Flint, while he, Shaw, Melinda May, and Daisy Johnson went to rescue the Inhumans. Before leaving, Shaw asked when killing Kasius will come into play. Coulson assured Shaw that they weren\'t leaving until Humanity was in control again.

Shaw, Coulson, May, and Johnson were able to ambush and rescue the Inhumans from the Kree. Shaw was able to kill a Kree guard and complimented the use of guns to May, and how only good people should be allowed to use them. May sarcastically told Shaw that there should be a law in place for it.

The group made it to the Trawler docks, where Shaw was reunited with Tess. Shaw was unable to think of the words to say to Tess as he was told that she was dead. While Shaw rambled, Tess told Shaw it was good to see him, and he went to help the others get ready for the Trawler. After securing the Inhumans, Shaw exited the Trawler and listened to Tess thank Coulson for giving the people hope.

As the team headed to the Rendezvous point in order to trigger the Monolith, Enoch called for help on the Zephyr as he was tracked down by the Kree. After learning Enoch could only hold out for 12 minutes, Shaw complained that he knew meeting S.H.I.E.L.D. would kill him. He decided to leave to help Enoch, much to the surprise of the others. Johnson volunteered to help but Shaw denied her assistance. Reminding her that all the time-travelers had to be at rendezvous point. Coulson tried to talk him out of it, but Shaw was determined to finish what his parents started. Johnson, however, told Shaw that she was coming. The two got into an argument before Shaw convinced her to stay when he told her that the world needed the good person that she is. Before leaving, Shaw told Johnson not to destroy the Earth when she got back, to which she said it was almost nice knowing Shaw. Shaw replied by telling her that she infuriated him and left to help Enoch.

"You know, your parents would be proud of you."

"I\'ll find out soon enough. But we\'re about to give \'em a hell of a show."

―Phil Coulson and Deke Shaw talking before they head back to the past

Once back on Zephyr One, Shaw rescued Enoch from a Kree soldier. Shaw went on to wonder where guns had been all his life. Not realizing Shaw was joking, Enoch told him they were hidden on Level 3. Rolling his eyes, Shaw examined Enoch\'s damages and asked what he should do to repair him. Enoch believed that they should focus their effort on repairing the machine that powers the White Monolith. Which was accidentally damaged when Shaw killed the Kree.

Shaw realizes he would have to sacrifice himself to get his S.H.I.E.L.D. allies home.

Trying to repair the damage, Shaw yelled at the machine after it shocked him. Realizing the Zephyr was too damaged, Enoch decided to have himself power the machine. Shaw asked Enoch what would happen to him, to which Enoch revealed he would perish and take several level of the Lighthouse with him. Shaw realized that would mean his own demise as well. Enoch informed Shaw that he would vaporize into sub-atomic levels. Getting a call from Phil Coulson that the Monolith was built, Shaw put on a brave face and told Coulson that the machine would be ready. Coulson went on to tell Shaw that his parents would be proud of what he is doing.

Shaw hooked Enoch up to the machine, but Enoch realized that he would be offline sooner then he thought. Enoch told Shaw he needed to power the machine immediately. Shaw contacted Coulson and informed him of their dilemma. Leo Fitz went to talk to Shaw and told him that the rest of the team wasn\'t back yet. Realizing they were out of time, Shaw turned on the machine and cursed as the White Monolith liquidized.

Although Enoch himself was destroyed in the explosion, a shard of the White Monolith struck Shaw, sending him into the past with the others as well, instead of killing him.

Shaw is transported to the past with his S.H.I.E.L.D. allies.

"All right, I got some of it right. Barkeep! I\'d like to try a beer, a real one, please."

Shaw was transported onto a street in River\'s End, New York. Upon materializing, he was confused as to where he was, but he quickly noticed that he was in a past timeframe of Earth. In his first encounter with a tree, a woman passed him who believed he was under the influence of drugs. Shaw became mesmerized with the customs of Earth and was about to eat an ice cream cone out of a trash can when he saw a nearby bar.

Entering the bar, he commented on how similar the bar was to his replica in the Framework. Shaw pulled up to the main bar and greeted Mike the bartender with joy. Although Shaw did not like the taste of beer, Mike then treated Shaw to a bottle of Zima, to Shaw\'s delight. Shaw then began drinking heavy amounts of alcohol, and enjoyed a cheeseburger with onion rings, all the while playing darts and watching television.

Shaw drunk after drinking too much Zima.

Now heavily intoxicated, Shaw set to leave the bar, but Mike reminded him that he had to pay for all the drinks he had consumed. When Shaw attempted to pay off the drinks with his Metric, Mike reminded him that only credit cards and cash were allowed. Shaw, realizing he was in an awkward predicament attempted to run, but due to being drunk, he quickly tripped over a pool table. When Shaw told Mike that he was from the future, he called the local police, and had Shaw arrested, believing he was delusional.

"I thought you\'d be, like, emotionally distraught or something."

Shaw was locked in a cell at the River\'s End Police Station where he kept talking about his discoveries on Earth to Chief Wellins. He then saw Daisy Johnson, posing as Shaw\'s social worker Sinara Smith, which Shaw snorted at. She claimed that Shaw had escaped during one of his walks. Being asked by Wellins about Shaw\'s issues, Johnson listed many, much to Shaw\'s annoyance.

Shaw and Daisy Johnson in the River\'s End Police Station.

Johnson had Shaw released from custody and scoffed him for his behavior, subtly mocking him by reminding him of their first encounter. As they were about to exit the police station, Officer Kennedy told them they had some documents to sign. While Kennedy looked for the papers, Shaw explained to Johnson that he had been transported to Earth after activating the White Monolith and assured her that he had not told the police anything about S.H.I.E.L.D.. He went on to tell Johnson that he loved life here and that he didn\'t miss his horrible life in the future.

After Johnson signed the last paper, she and Shaw went back to the Lighthouse, where Shaw complimented the "fancy stuff". Noah then introduced himself and informed Shaw that he believed having released him was a mistake. The discussion was interrupted when the rest of the S.H.I.E.L.D team returned after fighting against Ruby Hale.

Shaw joined the rest of the team in Zephyr One, subtly waving at Phil Coulson and Melinda May as they grieved about Yo-Yo Rodriguez having lost her arms.

"I just got to a world that\'s got ice cream and the sun and orange-scented stuff. So, no. No, no, no. And in case any of you forgot, I already did the heroic sacrifice thing to get you all here. So I\'m done."

"I\'m not asking you to sacrifice yourself. I just want to borrow your belt buckle."

Shaw helped Daisy Johnson gather medical supplies for Yo-Yo Rodriguez. While going through the Lighthouse\'s supplies, Shaw recalled about his mother offering him an orange for his birthday. He asked Johnson if she used to have something similar, only to be told that Johnson had grown up in an orphanage. Shaw apologized and told her that he thought they were sharing a moment, but Johnson bluntly answered that they were not.

Shaw is attacked by a physical projection of a Kree warrior.

Right after that, Shaw and Johnson were attacked by a Kree warrior who wounded Shaw in the arm and nearly killed them with his Kree Battle Axe. As the Kree was on the verge of taking down Shaw, Johnson shot him in the head, which caused the Kree to vanish into thin air.

They reported the event to their S.H.I.E.L.D.\'s colleagues and Leo Fitz explained that when the Kree Orb had exploded and destroyed the Monoliths, it created a tear through space-time which materially generated their greatest fears, the Kree warrior having been created from Johnson\'s mind. Shaw\'s fear manifested into the form of a luxurious forest in another subterranean level of the Lighthouse, as this was an extremely overwhelming experience to him.

Fitz explained that he had a plan for closing the rift, but it involved the sacrifice of one of them. When he mentioned Shaw\'s name, Shaw believed that Fitz wanted him to sacrifice, but Shaw refused, stating that he had already done so to ensure their return. Actually, Fitz only needed Shaw\'s Gravity Puck for his plan, which Shaw agreed to hand over. In the end, Phil Coulson decided to be the one to give his life.

Shaw talks to Phil Coulson about his condition.

"I\'m not gonna lie, I was pretty freaked out when I punched the coordinates into the phone and it led me into the middle of a grassy field. And it\'s like, "Can the Quinjet get here a little bit quicker, please?", you know? But I managed to grave the critters."

With Phil Coulson being forced to reveal the consequences of his deal with the Ghost Rider, which endangered his life, Shaw was tasked to gather former S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were on the run since the agency had been delegitimized. Before leaving, Shaw offered Coulson his condolences.

Shaw spots a military transport at River\'s End.

Shaw went to the outside passage of River\'s End and spotted military in the area. Nevertheless, Shaw carried on his mission and called the backup required by Coulson. Shaw also went to a pawn shop and collected several objects, including wedding rings and a wedding gown for Fitz and Jemma Simmons\' wedding.

Shaw then waited for the backup to show up, who turned out to be Deathlok, Davis, and other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Shaw took them to the Lighthouse, enabling Coulson to fight his visions and successfully block the space-time rift thanks to Deathlok.

Shaw presenting Zima to Phil Coulson and Leo Fitz.

The threat being momentarily averted, Shaw joined Fitz and Coulson in the elevator, accompanying the former to his wedding with Simmons. Fitz told them that they had one man to thank for avoiding catastrophe, Shaw took the compliment for himself and bragged a little about it while Fitz actually referred to Deathlok. Shaw also informed them that he could not find Haig and had replaced it with Zima.

Shaw and Deathlok attend Leo Fitz\'s and Jemma Simmons\' wedding.

Shaw attended Fitz\'s and Simmons\' wedding in the Lighthouse\'s forest. During the celebration, he exchanged some comments with Deathlok and casually noticed that the ring he had reclaimed for Simmons looked exactly like the one his own mother had, which came from his grandmother. Shaw was unaware that Fitz and Simmons were his actual grandparents, hence the resemblance between the two rings.

Shaw with the team in the Lighthouse control room.

"Deke, are you coming or is it just another play day?"

Shaw was called by Phil Coulson to the control room to discuss how to permanently seal the Fear Dimension rift as he had knowledge about Gravitonium. He volunteered to go with Coulson and the others on the mission to find Murray Jacobson, but he was ordered to stay back with Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons which was looked down by the former. This upset Shaw also and he started to brag about how he survived in the future just with his skills much to everyone\'s chagrin.

Shaw wanting to play baseball with Leo Fitz.

After Shaw found a baseball and mitten, he tried to convince Fitz to play catch with him. After making a joke about Fitz having some alone time with Simmons, Fitz broke and told Shaw they would play fetch. Before they could start playing, the scanners started reporting that more Fear Dimension illusions were appearing.

Shaw with Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz talking to Phil Coulson.

Shaw was in the control room with Fitz and Simmons when they were tracking the ship

Principia in the ocean on their computer. Shaw was so fascinated with all the water in the ocean that he started to ask all sorts of questions about oceans which greatly annoyed Fitz and he snapped at Shaw. In response, Shaw blamed the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent for the Destruction of Earth and angrily left.

In a storage room, he was approached by an illusion of his mother. Shaw tried to attack it but she remained caring towards him, expressing joy about him making friends and teasing him about his crush on Daisy Johnson, although Shaw denied it.

The illusion then repeated a quote that her mother used to always say to her. After the illusion tried to convince Shaw to leave S.H.I.E.L.D., he was horrified when she was murdered by an illusion of a Kree Warrior who attacked Shaw. Shaw managed to destroy it before being found by Simmons, who comforted him and apologized to him on behalf of Fitz. After Shaw ranted about his time in the future, he realized that the

Principia might have gone up in the sky due to the thunderstorm charging Gravitonium. He explains his theory to Fitz and Simmons who agreed with him.

Shaw observing the team\'s progress in obtaining the Gravitonium.

Shaw was present near the communications when Coulson, Johnson and Alphonso Mackenzie were on the ship which was correctly found in the sky. They told only a small chunk of Gravitonium was available which was holding the ship in the sky. Shaw advised them to place it in a plastic box without touching it and to get out before the original gravity came into motion.

Shaw realizes Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons are his grandparents.

Later, Shaw came to the medical room to inform Simmons and Yo-Yo Rodriguez that the team had returned successfully their mission. Upon hearing Simmons telling Rodriguez the very quote his mother used to tell him and the shard of the White Monolith in her hand that belonged to his mother in the future, he realized that Fitz and Simmons were his grandparents but kept it to himself.

While Shaw and the others waited for Coulson and his team, Fitz noticed Shaw staring at him strangely and asked what was wrong. Still in shock, Shaw denied anything was wrong. After the team returned, and Coulson handed Fitz the Gravitonium, Fitz invited Shaw to help him with the Gravitonium. Shaw agreed, but quietly referred to him as "Grandpa".

Shaw staring at Jemma Simmons after learning she\'s his grandmother.

"My mom used to tell me about her parents all the time. She always spoke about her dad with so much love and admiration on her face. Said that he was the best man she ever knew. So I know that you can help Fitz. And I know that you two are gonna be okay. Because "the steps you take don\'t need to be big"..."

"They just need to take you in the right direction". You\'re our grandson?"

When Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons struggled to find answers about how to permanently close the Fear Dimension rift after being attacked by another fear illusion, Fitz asked Shaw for assistance in understanding his Gravity Puck, but Shaw would be in his own world staring at his grandparents. After Fitz slammed his fist on the table, Shaw came to and told them that he didn\'t understand what\'s inside the puck, while still staring at Simmons. When Fitz and Simmons were about to leave the control station to figure out the problem, Shaw begged them to be careful, while trying to cover up his concern for them by saying they need their brains. After the left, Shaw asked Daisy Johnson if they\'ll be alright, stating he\'s become invested in their relationship. Shaw was then interrupted by the alert that they had found Hale thanks to Intel provided by Piper.

Shaw gets knocked out by Leo Fitz\'s alter ego "The Doctor".

Shaw later found Fitz working on a disabled Sleeper Mech and informed him that they captured Hale. When Fitz didn\'t respond to Shaw\'s news, he offered to help Fitz with the Mech; saying that engineering is in his DNA. He was then knocked unconscious by Fitz after the latter suffered a mental break and became his Framework persona "The Doctor".

Though he made it back to consciousness, Shaw was held at gunpoint by a Sleeper Mech which had been reprogrammed by Fitz. Shaw then watched in horror with Simmons, as Fitz pulled out Johnson\'s Inhuman Control Device. After successfully reviving Johnson\'s powers and closing the Fear Dimension rift, Fitz willingly surrendered.

Shaw reveals to Jemma Simmons that he\'s her\'s and Leo Fitz\'s grandson.

Shaw decided to comfort a distraught Simmons. When Simmons started to believe she was loosing Fitz he told her that Fitz would eventually be fine because his mother always spoke highly of her parents, especially her father. Finally, when Shaw quoted what Simmons told Yo-Yo Rodriguez, she realize that Shaw was none other than her grandson before throwing up.

Simmons would later reveal the truth about Shaw being their grandson to Fitz in his cell, much to the latter\'s shock and dismay. The revelation of Shaw being their grandson led Simmons to believe that she and Fitz were invincible.

Shaw with Leo Fitz after the latter found out that Shaw is his grandson.

"Well, I don\'t know what to tell you, Grandpappy. I guess your daughter found a real man."

Later Shaw visited Leo Fitz in his cell and they discussed about him being their grandson. Fitz revealed that he had a hard time digesting the fact that Shaw was his grandson as there was lack of anything common between them and he liked Flint better. Shaw instead told Fitz that he respected him for the removal of the Inhuman Control Device from Daisy Johnson to close the Fear Dimension rift, as it resembled his tactics he used to survive in the future. He then informed him that they were preparing for a mission to find Phil Coulson and expressed his opinion about Johnson being rude since she began leading the operations to which Fitz agreed.

Shaw with Jemma Simmons after talking to Leo Fitz.

As Shaw left Fitz\'s cell, he was approached by Jemma Simmons and she enquired about their life in the future. Shaw claimed he didn\'t know much as all of their names were changed for their safety, claiming he only knew her and Fitz as "Nana" and "Bobo". Shaw then claimed Simmons reminded him a lot of his mother and offered to tell Simmons about her, which she denied, expressing her happiness that they live long enough to conceive their daughter. Shaw then told Simmons he had to meet up with Johnson to find Coulson, telling her the same thing he told Fitz, of Johnson being rude, which Simmons agreed.

Shaw apologizes to Daisy Johnson and Melinda May for being late.

"Sorry I\'m late. I was just just getting all my gear together, but I\'m ready to go. Geared up. Mission-ready. I\'ll just go ahead and go to the command center."

As Daisy Johnson and Melinda May were finishing up a conversation on Zephyr One about rescuing Phil Coulson by bringing Robin Hinton out of hiding, Shaw came up to them with Jemma Simmons and apologized for being late much to their confusion. He then went up to the command center after giving Simmons a nod.

After bringing Hinton and her mother Polly Hinton up to the Zephyr, Hinton was completely traumatized as she saw her death in future. Shaw became frustrated about relying on Hinton\'s drawings again. Johnson told him it was hard to witness all of the timelines together to which Shaw thanked her for understanding him. Johnson made it clear she was referring to Hinton, much to his embarrassment.

Hinton soon recovered after being comforted by May and made another drawing of Coulson and Glenn Talbot bring present on a snowy mountain. Shaw joined Johnson and May as they examined the drawing to see where in the world the location was.

Shaw argues with Melinda May about Robin Hinton\'s drawings.

After searching for hours, Shaw became convinced that what Hinton drew could\'ve been in a month or a year. This resulted in a heated argument with May, before Johnson broke it up and recommended they land the Zephyr and let Coulson find them.

Shaw and the others find Phil Coulson and Glenn Talbot.

"I want to put my mouth on her mouth and move it around a lot. But I don\'t want to do that unless she wants to, too, \'cause that\'s what makes it nice. But I don\'t think she wants that, \'cause she does not like me one bit."

―Deke Shaw, Alphonso Mackenzie and Piper after Shaw\'s surgery

After a while of searching for Phil Coulson and Glenn Talbot in the snowy mountains, they came across them fighting Ruby Hale. As Melinda May helped Coulson and Talbot get to their feet, Shaw was ordered by Daisy Johnson to provide cover for them to Zephyr One while Johnson fought off Ruby.

Shaw, however, disobeyed Johnson\'s orders and hung back to help her, attempting to fire on Ruby in their scuffle. Shaw revealed himself after Johnson took Ruby down, but he was immediately shot in the right shoulder by Hale, who had just arrived. Johnson helped him back to the Zephyr. Johnson and Coulson proceeded to administer medical treatment until the team made it back to the Lighthouse, but Jemma Simmons had since left with Leo Fitz and Yo-Yo Rodriguez to stop Hale\'s plans.

On their way back to the Lighthouse, after giving Shaw a couple of pills, Johnson lashed out at Shaw for disobeying her order to assist the others. Shaw stated that he was trying to be a good S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, only for Johnson to tell him he wasn\'t an Agent like the rest of them. An argument then ensued between the two, with Shaw insulting Johnson’s leadership abilities and how she\'s constantly threatened to kill him. Their squabble was cut short, however, as Shaw began coughing blood. Johnson stayed with Shaw until help arrived.

The team made it back to the Lighthouse and quickly prepped Shaw for medical attention. With Simmons gone, Piper took the lead on initiating Shaw’s treatment, with Alphonso Mackenzie as her backup. During surgery, the two started talking about current events, before Shaw started seizing. The pair performed a tricky surgery with some complications, but Shaw pulled through.

After surgery, (and under the influence of drugs) Shaw woke up and started babbling nonsensically. He confessed his feelings for Johnson and how he wanted to kiss her (but only with her consent). He also acknowledged her disliking of him. Having enough, Mackenzie asked Piper if pumping Shaw with more drugs would hurt him, which she answered no and Mackenzie put him under just as Johnson entered. Mackenzie and Piper elected not to inform Johnson about what Shaw just said, much to Johnson\'s confusion.

Alphonso Mackenzie asks Shaw if he was wearing body spray.

"Alright, yeah. If that\'s how you want to play it."

Shaw was back on his feet soon after surgery, wearing a sling for his right arm. He was eager to assist Daisy Johnson in any way possible. Shaw put on body spray, which was noticed by Alphonso Mackenzie. While briefing the team on their assault on Hale\'s base, Shaw asked Johnson if she wanted him to back her up. She denied his assistance and ordered him to assist Mackenzie on upgrading Zephyr One for space flight, which he gladly agreed too. Mackenzie, however, after listening to Shaw’s rambling about Johnson after surgery, wasn’t pleased. Shaw, Mackenzie and Phil Coulson went to work on the Zephyr while Johnson and Melinda May infiltrated Hale’s base.

Shaw asking love advice from Phil Coulson and Alphonso Mackenzie.

During the work on the upgrades for the Zephyr, Mackenzie noted Shaw’s obvious attraction to Johnson and told him what he said after surgery. Shaw tried to lie about his feelings but eventually confessed his affections. He proceeds to ask for advice from Mackenzie and Coulson, but they both admitted to their own relationship struggles as of late. Shaw then explained the act of leaving a lemon on someone’s bunk, and it’s sign of affection in the future. He asked if that custom is still around today. Mackenzie and Coulson encouraged Shaw to leave a lemon on Johnson’s bunk, despite knowing how this would appear.

Later, Shaw, Coulson, and Mackenzie were in the control room where they got an update from Johnson and May. They reported they had Hale and what happened to Carl Creel when he touched the Gravitonium. They also revealed the fate of Ian Quinn, and that the Gravitonium consumed his mind, to which Shaw had a hard time believing. When Coulson said they had to help Creel, Johnson said they had to focus on stopping Ruby Hale from powering herself with the Gravitonium. After May revealed that Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz were her prisoners, Shaw showed concerned for their safety. Shaw expressed concern over Johnson’s wellbeing as well, when she intended to go after Ruby to save Simmons and Fitz. Ignoring Shaw\'s worries, she ordered him, Coulson, and Mackenzie to go through Robin Hinton\'s drawings and see if there was anything that could help them. After Johnson hung up, Shaw made a comment on the difficulty of women, much to Mackenzie\'s annoyance.

Shaw picking a lemon to give to Daisy Johnson.

As Coulson and Mackenzie argued over one of Hinton\'s drawings, Shaw came back with a lemon he planned on giving to Johnson. After noticing that the camera to Hinton\'s room was frozen, the trio went to investigate. They found Hinton\'s mother, Polly Hinton unconscious. Realizing that Glenn Talbot has been brainwashed by HYDRA, and had taken Hinton, Coulson and Mackenzie went to intercept Talbot, while Shaw volunteered to stay with Polly. Coulson and Mackenzie were able to contain Talbot and save Hinton.

Shaw and the rest of the team in a briefing to decide what to do with the Gravitonium.

"The Remorath are Marauders. They\'re intergalactic scavengers with no planet of their own, so they just take from others, and wherever they go, darkness follows."

"Well, it\'s not the concept of darkness, it\'s literal darkness, it\'s literal darkness. It follows them because they\'re magic, and they can see in the dark, and we can\'t, so it makes them kill us better with with their claws."

"Yeah. Did I not mention the footlong razor claws? Because, yeah."

"Well, people in the future survive. There must be a way to stop them."

"No, we didn\'t stop them. We just... We just gave them whatever they wanted, and then said thank you and cleaned up the bodies after they left."

―Deke Shaw, explaining the Remorath to the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D.

After Daisy Johnson and Melinda May returned with Jemma Simmons, Leo Fitz, and Yo-Yo Rodriguez, the team set out to dispose of the Gravitonium for good. Phil Coulson debriefed Shaw and everyone else in the Lighthouse\'s control room on how they were to slingshot the Gravitonium into the sun once Zephyr One was ready for space travel. When Coulson asked Simmons and Fitz how the Zephyrs\' upgrades were doing, Shaw chimed in and informed them that they were close, as he was providing assistance.

Shaw tries to defend Daisy Johnson from Yo-Yo Rodriguez\'s attacks.

The debriefing soon turned into an argument once Johnson revealed that Rodriguez had slit Ruby Hale\'s throat. Rodriguez tried to defend her actions by saying she killed the one named "Destroyer of Worlds". Shaw argued that Johnson was called the very same thing in the future, before Johnson told him to stop talking. When the argument started to get out of hand, Coulson silenced everyone and ordered all of them to get back to work. Shaw followed Simmons and Fitz.

Shaw talking to Leo Fitz about the Multiverse theory.

While Fitz got the Gravitonium ready to put in the Zephyr, Shaw explained the Multiverse theory to him and how he was proof that they could between them. Simmons entered and gave Fitz the capsule to put the Gravitonium in while Shaw explained how he was going to remain in the present even if the loop breaks. Shaw soon noticed the looks on Simmons and Fitzs\' faces and asked what the problem was. Fitz revealed to Shaw that they wouldn\'t know if the loop broke unless Shaw blinked out of existence. Simmons decided to change the subject and handed Shaw the container of Gravitonium to deliver to the Zephyr. When Fitz begged him to be careful, Shaw tossed it in the air, but assured them that he\'s got it, as he wore the Gravity Puck for years. Shaw then reminded Simmons and Fitz to stick together as they promised too so that nothing could happen to Shaw\'s existence. While Simmons found Shaw\'s interest in their relationship sweet, Fitz found it selfish. Simmons then urged Shaw to deliver the Gravitonium to the Zephyr.

Shaw freaking out of being stuck in the Lighthouse again.

After Confederacy member Qovas, arrived in his ship, Coulson mistakenly put the Lighthouse on lockdown after pressing the nuclear attack option. When informing everyone over the comms that it could remain that way for around fifteen years, Shaw started to freak out about being locked in the Lighthouse again.

While walking through the hallway, Shaw noticed the lights were shutting off. Shaw soon came to the horrible realization of who was attacking, as three aliens came out of the shadows to lay siege to retrieve the Gravitonium. When they killed Agent Thomas, Shaw ran for his life and reached an air vent. He crawled in and waited for the aliens to pass as they killed another agent. Once the coast was clear, Shaw headed to the control room through the ventilation system.

Once busting through the air vent to the control room, Shaw informed everyone that the aliens were inside the Lighthouse. Alphonso Mackenzie went on to say they had no idea who the aliens were. Shaw revealed he did. After Simmons and Fitz were present through viewscreen, Shaw explained that the aliens were named the Remorath and history with them in the future. He went on to say that they were Marauders with no planet of their own and that darkness follows them wherever they go. Mackenzie asked Shaw how to stop them. But Shaw explained they had no way of stopping them in the future and just cleaned up the bodies after they took what they wanted.

Shaw asks Phil Coulson where Daisy Johnson is.

Taking Shaw\'s warning seriously, Coulson ordered an evacuation. Fitz was able to find the location of the manual override on Level 17. Mackenzie believed if Fitz could reach the override, he and Shaw could get the Zephyrs\' engines going, to which Shaw agreed. When Simmons and Fitz decided to split up to complete their objectives, Shaw argued against it. Saying they have to stick together. When Shaw suggested to have Johnson give them back up, Simmons and Fitz grew tired and left. Shaw soon realized that Johnson could just quake them out of the Lighthouse and asked Coulson why she wasn\'t back yet from dropping Robin and Polly Hinton off with Tony Caine. Coulson disappointingly told Shaw to ask May. Shaw then learned of Johnson\'s side mission to find a way to save Coulson from dying.

Refusing to leave Simmons or Fitz alone, Shaw followed Fitz to Level 17 and arrived just in time to save him from a Remorath that just killed Agent Wahl. Shaw used a fire extinguisher to distract while he and Fitz retreated to where the override switch was. Fitz asked Shaw what he was doing there, only for Shaw to remind Fitz that without him, Shaw won\'t exist. Their family reunion was cut short when they realized the Remorath destroyed the manual override.

When Coulson contacted everyone on the plan to stop the Remorath, Simmons revealed that she, Piper, and Davis couldn\'t move the Gravitonium via the stairs. Fitz informed her that Shaw believes he could get one of the elevators working and they could use that. While Shaw got to work fixing the elevator, Fitz informed everyone that the Remorath could be using an E.M.P. to disable all things electronic.

Once Shaw got the elevator moving, he started to freak out that he might get stuck in the Lighthouse again and miss out on all the Earth has to offer. When Fitz made fun of his multiverse theory, Shaw told him to shut up. Fitz contacted Simmons and realized that splitting up was a mistake. When Simmons asked Fitz if Shaw had blinked out of existence, Fitz turned to Shaw and told her no. Reaching the control room level, the two met up with Mackenzie. When the Remorath reached the level, the trio ran towards the control room with the Remorath on their tale.

Reaching the control room, everyone prepared for the fight. While Fitz and May got fires started so they could see when the Remorath shut the lights out, Shaw referred Fitz as "Gramps" and assured him that he would protect the Gravitonium. Fitz stopped Shaw and told him never to call him Gramps again.

Shaw and his S.H.I.E.L.D. allies about to fight the Remorath.

As the lights went out, Shaw became terrified as the Remorath were starting to break through the barricade. The Remorath soon broke through and Shaw fought them off with the rest. When all hope seemed lost, the Gravitonium infused Glenn Talbot entered the control room and crushed the Remorath. Shaw and the others watched as Talbot broke a hole in the ceiling and took Coulson up to Qovas\' ship. Because the Lighthouse was exposed to air, it was taken off lockdown, as it was clear of nuclear exposition.

Shaw and his S.H.I.E.L.D. allies after the siege of the Lighthouse.

After Talbot took Coulson to Qovas\' ship, Simmons revealed he absorbed all of the Gravitonium. Shaw didn\'t find it bad as he saved them from the Remorath while the others suspected with Talbot\'s brain injury, he couldn\'t handle the Gravitonium.

Shaw talking to Daisy Johnson over the comms.

"Just took Talbot flying out of here like some sort of a wizard in order to be able to breathe fresh air again."

"Yeah, but that\'s just it. I\'m not a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent. But for some reason, I\'m still hanging around this rusty drainpipe."

"Yeah, I don\'t think it\'s that. Oh, well, don\'t get me wrong. You guys are great totally not disappointments at all."

After the Siege of the Lighthouse, Shaw and Leo Fitz got to work repairing the Lighthouses\' systems. Fitz believed it would take forever to get the systems back online, Shaw repaired it in a few minutes, telling Fitz he\'s used to working with technology of this time. Fitz tried to give Shaw a high five, only for Shaw to reject it, telling him it wasn\'t cool. While Fitz looked over the systems, Shaw was pleased to breathe fresh air again. Fitz reminded him that being a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent is full of risks, only for Shaw to rebut by telling Fitz that he wasn\'t an agent, but still stuck around. Fitz believed it was because Shaw had family here. Shaw chuckled at that but assured Fitz that he and Jemma Simmons were great. At that moment Daisy Johnson contacted the Lighthouse. Before Fitz could answer, Shaw answered for him. When Johnson asked Shaw why she couldn\'t reach them for thirty minutes, Shaw informed her of their situation.

Shaw trying to express his feelings to Daisy Johnson.

After hearing of Johnson\'s fight with Yo-Yo Rodriguez, Shaw went to see if she was okay. Entering her room, Shaw noticed a bag and asked what was in it. Johnson told him her mother. Not knowing what to say to that, Shaw asked if Johnson was okay after her fight with Rodriguez. Johnson told Shaw that she should\'ve stayed in the future. She was also disturbed by all the lemons on her bed. Realizing he was played by Phil Coulson and Alphonso Mackenzie, Shaw blamed it on Fitz. Shaw then assured that Johnson was right where she belonged. While he felt like he the Lighthouse was a leash that kept pulling him back, even without Kasius and the Kree. When Johnson told him she was happy that Shaw came back with them, he decided it was time to tell her how he felt about her. Before Shaw could, Johnson mentioned Lincoln Campbell. Confused, Shaw asked her who Campbell was. Johnson revealed that Campbell was her late boyfriend that died for her. Johnson then told Shaw that she couldn\'t lose Coulson like she lost Campbell. Shaw assured her that they would find a way to save him.

Shaw telling Daisy Johnson that Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz are his grandparents.

Johnson asked Shaw what he wanted to tell her. Realizing that Johnson was still in love with Campbell, Shaw opted not to express his feelings and instead, tell Johnson that Fitz and Simmons were his grandparents, much to her shock. Glad the revaluation wasn\'t going to make things awkward between them, Johnson asked why it would. Shaw just denied any reason.

Shaw joining Daisy Johnson and Melinda May on their mission to save Phil Coulson and Glenn Talbot.

"So you\'re going on a space mission to a hostile alien ship?"

"Yeah, well, I don\'t have that many options."

Wanting to get away from the Lighthouse, Shaw joined Daisy Johnson, Melinda May and Davis on Zephyr One, on their mission to infiltrate Qovas\' ship. Shaw also removed his sling as he felt he didn\'t need it anymore.

Shaw holding hands with Daisy Johnson.

Having buckled in, the Zephyr took off into space using its upgrades. Experiencing turbulence, Johnson apologized to Shaw for not talking him out of it. Shaw unconvincingly assured her that he was fine. Holding Shaws\' arm to reassure him, Johnson thanked him for coming along. Seeing this, Shaw closed his eyes and calmed down for the rest of the voyage. Shaw remained on the Zephyr while Johnson and May infiltrated Qovas\' ship to rescue Phil Coulson and Glenn Talbot.

While waiting for Johnson and May to return with Coulson and Talbot, Davis told Shaw the story of how he survived Aida. While Kim grew tired of listening to the story, Shaw found it more amazing then him being the same age has his grandparents. Kim then revealed that he finished rerouting oxygen from all nonessential parts of the Zephyr, which pleased Shaw. All of a sudden, the lights on the Zephyr started malfunctioning and Kim was pulled out of the Zephyr and killed. Shaw and Davis hid, only to be horrified to see Talbot enter the Zephyr with a squad of Remorath heading towards the Quinjet.

Shaw informs Alphonso Mackenzie about Glenn Talbot\'s betrayal.

Once the coast was clear, Shaw contacted Alphonso Mackenzie and informed him of the situation. Shaw was then alerted that Talbot took off in the Quinjet and told Mackenzie. Feeling as though the others were in danger, Shaw went to rescue them, while Davis readied the Zephyr.

Shaw rescuing Phil Coulson and Melinda May from the Remorath.

Once aboard Qovas\' ship, Shaw reached the prison level. Shaw knocked out a Remorath guard and unlocked Phil Coulson and Melinda May\'s cell. Shaw informed Coulson and May of his encounter with Glenn Talbot and Kim\'s death. Shaw then looked around for Daisy Johnson only to be informed that Qovas\' men have her. As they left the cell, Shaw told Coulson and May that Talbot took the Quinjet down to Earth.

Believing they were lost, Coulson noticed symbols that were the same from the Lighthouse in the future, and asked Shaw what they meant. Shaw revealed that he had no idea and that he could only count to 5, much to Coulson and May\'s dismay. Shaw and May got into a squabble after May found it unbelievable that Shaw survived the future. Shaw argued that he could lead them back to Zephyr One and that he wasn\'t the one who lost Johnson. Knowing they didn\'t have time to argue, Coulson stopped their bickering and told Shaw to pick a direction. Deciding to go right, Coulson and May followed him.

Shaw, Phil Coulson, and Melinda May reunite with Daisy Johnson.

Running into two Remorath warriors, the three decided to fight, only for Johnson to quake them. Shaw was overjoyed to see Johnson, but tried to play it as if he wasn\'t really concerned. Johnson assured them she was fine and that she met Kasius\' father, much to Shaw\'s horror. Shaw demanded they get back to the Zephyr, only for May to say they can\'t leave, as Qovas has Ionizer Missiles aimed at the Lighthouse. Shaw argued that the Lighthouse could survive the missiles, only for Coulson to argue that the people of River\'s End wouldn\'t be so lucky.

Shaw shocked after seeing Phil Coulson and Melinda May kiss.

As the four headed to the bridge, Shaw tried to convince them to head back to the Zephyr. Coulson denied his plea as they weren\'t leaving until they succeeded. May then revealed that Coulson was leaving with Johnson on the Zephyr while she and Shaw finished the mission. Shaw tried to leave with Coulson and Johnson, only for May to stop him, as he was to set the coordinates for their way back. More Remorath soon showed up, and while Shaw and Johnson dealt with them, they were stunned by Coulson and May making out. May and the still stunned Shaw headed for the bridge as Coulson and Johnson left.

Shaw chocking a Remorath guard with Melinda May.

Once on the bridge, Shaw lured the two Remorath stationed there out and strangled one to death while May handled the other one. Shaw was disgusted by May pulling out the Remorath knives. May ordered Shaw to transfer the target numbers to the Phase Harmonic Teleportation Device. Understanding her plan, Shaw got to work trying to find the launch system. During his search, Shaw found the chip that controlled the navigation and took it just in case they needed it. Shaw soon found the launch codes and asked May if he should deactivate the missiles. May informed Shaw that they weren\'t there to deactivate them. Shaw demanded what they were doing there then. May replied that they were giving the missiles a new target.

As Shaw assisted May in redirecting the missiles, Qovas showed up and attacked May. Leaving Shaw to finish the recalculations. After some hiccups, Shaw was able to finish the recalculations and informed May of it. With Qovas unable to best May, he resorted to launching the missiles. May revealed to Qovas that they changed the coordinates to Qovas\' ship. Qovas demanded how they managed to succeed, only for Shaw to say he knew 0 and transported out of the ship with May before the missiles destroyed the ship and Qovas.

Shaw and May made it back to the Lighthouse and contacted Coulson and Johnson to assure them they were fine. Their victory was short lived as Coulson had finally succumbed to his life threatening injury and passed out.

Shaw and the others deciding whether to use the Centipede Serum to save Phil Coulson or stop Glenn Talbot.

Once Johnson returned to the Lighthouse with the unconscious Coulson, Shaw listened, with the others, to Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons solution of using the Centipede Serum to save Coulson\'s life. When Mackenzie asked about their situation with Talbot, Fitz suggested if they could combine the Centipede Serum with the Odium and inject it into Talbot\'s blood stream, it could stop him for good. Johnson, however, revealed that the serum she brought back was all that was left, leaving everyone to decide whether to save Coulson or the world.

Shaw tells Piper that he doesn\'t belong in the meeting to decide what happens to Phil Coulson.

"Come on. I never totally fit in with the gang, anyway."

"You know, when I first met you guys, I\'d never seen anything like that. I\'d seen people kill for each other without hesitation all the time, but I\'d never seen a group that was willing to die for each other. Your trust, it just seemed too strong to break. And you trying to fix Coulson, that\'s great. I love the guy, but if you really want to lead one day, then you got to fix that."

Feeling as though he didn\'t belong in the decision of what happened to Phil Coulson, Shaw left the room and waited outside, peeling a lemon as the others argued over what to do with the Centipede Serum. Piper walked over to him and told him that Davis has reported no change in Coulson\'s condition. Hearing the others argue, Piper asked Shaw why he wasn\'t in there with them. Shaw told her it was up to them to decide what happened to Coulson. Eventually Melinda May forced the decision on everyone when she destroyed the Odium.

Shaw shows Daisy Johnson his horde of stuff that he collected since being in the present.

Shaw later helped the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents prepare the Lighthouse in case the Earth was destroyed. Spotting Daisy Johnson walking up to him, he asked if Zephyr One was fueled up, to which she replied yes. Johnson then told him that the Quinjet was also fueled up and all they were waiting for was the location on Glenn Talbot. Johnson was glad that Shaw was taking point at the Lighthouse, only for Shaw to reveal he wasn\'t sticking around. When Johnson asked why, Shaw showed her his room and how he hoards whatever he can find. Shaw then told Johnson that if the Earth cracks apart again he would want to see it before it does, to which Johnson agreed to. Shaw would then tell her Leo Fitz said that he would disappear anyway if they change the timeline. Johnson didn\'t know how to reassure him, but Shaw assured her that it was fine as he never fitted in with "the gang" anyway.

Shaw gives Daisy Johnson advice on how to reconcile with the team before leaving the Lighthouse.

When Shaw was about to leave, Johnson muttered how she wasn\'t too sure they were a team anymore. Shaw told her that he\'s never seen anything like what she had with her team in 2091. That while he\'d seen people willing to kill for one another, he never saw anyone willing to die for someone. He then offered his advice on how before they fix Coulson or her leading, she had to fix what the rift in the team. Piper then arrived and informed that Talbot was in Chicago.

Following them to the Zephyr, Piper explained to the confused Shaw how to use a phone. Arriving at the Zephyr\'s entrance, Shaw listened to Jemma Simmons and Fitz as they told Johnson that the Centipede Serum was ready. Before Johnson followed May onboard, she gave Shaw a grateful smile and pat on the shoulder. Stopping his grandparents before they got on the Zephyr, Shaw wished them good luck. He proceeded to give Simmons a warm hug and Fitz a high five and an awkward hug. After the Zephyr left, Shaw pulled out the phone Piper gave him and called the River\'s End Police Department. He requested to talk to Chief Wellins about the Lighthouse and how it will protect humanity in case SHIELD couldn\'t stop Talbot.

Johnson later took Shaw\'s advice and mended things with Yo-Yo Rodriguez and the rest of the team and made Alphonso Mackenzie the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

After Talbot was defeated by Johnson and Fitz died during the conflict, Simmons went to Shaw\'s room, only to find he, and everything he collected, was gone.

"...I\'m a damaged person. From a damaged world."

Shaw is intelligent and useful, though he is initially considered untrustworthy. He did care for the people of the Lighthouse, as the risk that Daisy Johnson made to save Jemma Simmons could have resulted in mass murder by the Kree in retaliation. He is somewhat selfish, as his payment for Johnson was extremely difficult for him to give up. However, his desire to find his father on Earth drove him to help the team. His past could reflect his efforts to avoid ending up like his parents, though it is evident that he cared for them dearly. Though seemingly always looking out for himself, Shaw was close friends with fellow Lighthouse resident Tess and was happy to know that she was still alive after hearing she was dead.

At first, Shaw saw the S.H.I.E.L.D. team as a burden and was willing to sell them out to survive. However, after spending enough time with them, and seeing what his parents believed in, Shaw had come to think of them as friends and to an extent, family. The S.H.I.E.L.D. team had enough of an impact on Shaw, that he gave up most of his survival instincts and was willing to give his life to send them back to the past. Shaw has a great deal of respect for Phil Coulson, as he was saddened to know of Coulson\'s illness and followed all of his orders, even when he didn\'t agree with them, without question. During Shaws\' time with S.H.I.E.L.D., he had come to admire the relationship they had and how they were willing to die for one another. As the only thing he witnessed in the future was people willing to kill for each other.

Despite his intelligence, Shaw can be bumbling and incompetent (mostly under the influence of alcohol), as he was unfamiliar with Earth\'s customs. This led to his arrest, as he mistook a Metric for currency. Nevertheless, he remained lucid enough and kept being loyal to the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and, knowing that they were being chased, did not disclose any information about them to the police. Because of the conditions he lived in, Shaw only learned how to count to 5.

Even with all their bickering, Shaw has strong feelings for Johnson. He admires the good person that she is. Shaw also doesn\'t want anything to happen to her, refusing to leave her while she fought Ruby Hale. After nearly dying, and under the influence of drugs, Shaw admitted to Alphonso Mackenzie and Piper that he wants to kiss Johnson and asked if he should shave his head to impress her. He later went to Coulson and Mackenzie for advice on how to express his feelings. He finally decided to give her a lemon, as that was how people from the future expressed their feelings. After feeling it was time to tell Johnson how he feels about her, Shaw decided against it when he learned that Johnson was still in love with her late boyfriend Lincoln Campbell and he didn\'t want to put something else on her already large plate. Before leaving the Lighthouse to see what the Earth had to offer, Shaw gave Johnson advice on how to reconcile with the team. Johnson appreciated Shaws\' advice and used it to make peace with Yo-Yo Rodriguez and the others.

After arriving in the past, Shaw immediately fell in love with life there, becoming “addicted” to Zima, and being fascinated by everything the past had to offer. Because of his fascination for the customs and cultures on Earth, Shaw sometimes came off as immature and annoying. However, Shaw shows a disliking of any form of insect. This could remind him of the Vrellnexians in the future. Despite his love of life in the past, Shaw still has a hard time figuring out where he belongs. Feeling as though he does not fit in with S.H.I.E.L.D. and feeling restrained to the Lighthouse, as he was in the future. Shaw eventually decided to leave the Lighthouse and S.H.I.E.L.D. as he wanted to explore Earth and felt like he never fitted in with the team anyway.

After learning that Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz were his maternal grandparents, Shaw expressed the desire to keep them alive. As if they were to be killed, Shaw would no longer exist. While the act seemed selfish to Fitz, Shaw has shown genuine care for Simmons. Comforting her after Fitz had his mental break, and seeing much of his mother in her. Shaw also has a newfound respect for Fitz after he demonstrated the willingness to do what was necessary to get the job done. Much like what Shaw did in the future to survive.

"You need a hand? I\'m pretty good with metalwork. I guess it runs in my DNA."

G. Grant Jewett was a stunt double for Jeff Ward in the role of Deke Shaw.

The ambiguous ending for Deke Shaw\'s character at the end of Season Five was written intentionally for fans of the show to wonder his ultimate fate.

Jeff Ward had originally been cast as Virgil, a character who dies in the first episode of Season Five. During the table read of the episode, the main cast felt Ward "nailed it" as Virgil and wanted him to stay on as Deke Shaw, who had not yet been cast. The producers of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. reached out to Ward after the reading to audition for Deke, and was ultimately cast in the part.
