“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” is continuing the search for Fitz. It looks like Season 6, episode 3 will bring the team closer to finding him, but, assuming he has no rescue team coming, Fitz is making some risky moves.

“It’s a wild night out on the planet of Kitson for the agents,” ABC’s synopsis says. “While Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Enoch (Joel Stoffer) try their luck at the casino, nearby, Daisy (Chloe Bennet) and Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) find themselves in a much … groovier situation.”

The promo video for “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Season 6, episode 3 gives a clearer idea of what’s happening. Fitz and Enoch have no money, so Fitz wants to bet himself. If he loses, he could end up in slavery (which he just escaped in the last episode).

Daisy and Simmons, meanwhile, are doing everything they can to find Fitz. They’re on the right planet, which is a start. They even talk to someone who recognizes Fitz’s name, but that isn’t necessarily a good thing. Their new enemy decides to disable Daisy with some sort of blast right after they ask why they shouldn’t have said the name Leopold Fitz.

One of those new faces Daisy and Simmons meet is Malachi (Christopher James Baker). According to TVLine, he is “a mysterious assassin from a distant planet.” Photos from the episode (seen below) give a better glimpse at the new character.

It isn’t clear if audiences will get to see the Earth-bound agents this week. Last we saw, May (Ming-Na Wen) was reeling after fighting Sarge (Clark Gregg), who looks just like Coulson.

Though he got away, S.H.I.E.L.D. managed to get a “biological hard drive” from one of his men. Dr. Benson (Barry Shabaka Henley) reveals that it has footage of the sky on another world seemingly falling. They realize that this new team of adversaries might be more destructive than they thought.

“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Season 6, episode 3 is titled “Fear and Loathing on the Planet of Kitson,” an apparent nod to the Las Vegas-like vibe of the planet. The installment was written by Brent Fletcher and Craig Titley and directed by Jesse Bochco.

“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Season 6 airs Friday at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
