The finale episode of Marvel's longrunning show Agents of SHIELD finally premiered. FitzSimmons was undoubtedly one of the most endearing and beloved couples on the show. However, the two characters never got their happy ending in the previous seasons of Agents of SHIELD, with something always going wrong in their adventurous lives as SHIELD agents. 

Iain De Caestecker, who plays Fitz, was missing for the first half of the last season, making fans wonder if his character was dead. However, Iain De Caestecker is finally back to play Fitz in the final three episodes of Agents of SHIELD. In a recent interview, Elizabeth Henstridge (who plays Simmons) and Iain De Caestecker discussed their characters' much deserved happy ending.
