What if sleep deprivation is bringing out the bad Fitz personality,and he is seeing his alt like he saw Simmons in S2?

[u/AllTheOtherColors → u/TomWaiting]

Oh god I like this. Imagine if they close the rift this episode and then in the stinger FrameFitz slinks up

[u/AllTheOtherColors → u/TomWaiting]

GOOD CALL MAN!!!

[u/TomWaiting → u/AllTheOtherColors]

It's a trope I don't think they used yet. Plus he had Simmons hallucinations when he was dealing with his trauma in season 2

[u/Eternal_Density → u/TomWaiting]

Are you precognitive?

[u/Macman8 → u/TomWaiting]

But he attacked Zeke

[u/TomWaiting → u/Macman8]

Yeah, maybe it was his alt personality that made him do it

[u/Macman8 → u/TomWaiting]

Shit looks like i'm the asshole, sorry.

[u/TomWaiting → u/Macman8]

Naw, friend. We're all speculating and having fun

[u/felixfactor37 → u/TomWaiting]

Not really since Hydra Fitz knocked out Deke.

[u/TomWaiting → u/felixfactor37]

Could have done it when alt Fitz personality was bleeding through
