(Facebook/AgentsofShield)Coulson is a mess in "Agents of SHIELD" season 4.

Coulson (Clark Gregg) is in bad shape in the upcoming season of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." With Daisy (Chloe Bennet) on the run and refusing to talk to him, he has let himself be ousted from the job that he loves.

The last installment's finale was heartbreaking for the members of S.H.I.E.L.D., but no one was more devastated than Daisy. Her boyfriend Lincoln (Luke Mitchell) sacrificed himself to finish off Hive (Brett Dalton). Daisy's vision finally came true when the quinjet containing the two exploded in space. Lincoln's death triggered her downward spiral, which ultimately led to her quitting the team. She left her friends and her father figure, Coulson, to give herself time to reflect.

Spoilers claim that Daisy will be spending a lot of time with the family of the Inhuman who let her see the future. She has appointed herself to be their protector. Daisy is no longer the champion of Inhumans. She is determined to change her life. She does not care that Coulson is worried about her and wants to bring her back to the fold.

In season 4, Gregg told Entertainment Weekly that his character's only concern would be for Daisy to be okay again. Coulson and Daisy's fate are intertwined now. He will come back to S.H.I.E.L.D. only if Daisy will return with him.

"He's not the director anymore, his destiny is not so much in his own hand as it used to be. The person he cares about is on the run and seems to be very sought after by the authorities. It's very much changing the game for Coulson. Certainly from that teaser of where we'll be next season, he does not seem to be in good shape," he said.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth Henstridge, who plays Simmons in the series, shared with the fans that the new installment would be darker and sexier compared to the previous seasons. She said, during MCM London Comic Con panel (as per Digital Spy), that the show has been steadily pushing the boundaries each installment. This time around, the writers are reportedly penning a sexy storyline, with "some good swearing" thrown in. Will the audience see more romantic scenes between Simmons and Fitz (Iain De Caestecker)?

"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." season 4 will return this fall on ABC.
