Production

Development

In February 2016, Marvel announced that the eleventh episode of the season would be titled "Bouncing Back", to be written by Monica Owusu-Breen, with Ron Underwood directing.[1]

Writing

The episode opens with "a mysterious flash-forward to three months in the future, showing an unidentified S.H.I.E.L.D. agent seemingly dead in space." Executive producer Maurissa Tancharoen called it "the promise of something fairly ominous to come", and stated, "We will be uncovering things from the midseason opener all the way to the finale. We will slowly be discovering what that image is." Her fellow showrunner Jed Whedon explained that the decision to use the flash-forward device in the episode was made "to kick off [the second part of the season] with a mystery."[2]
