At the start of the episode, while awaiting a meeting with Gen. Talbot, Coulson (Clark Gregg) was spotted reading Peggy's obituary while listening to a news report about Steve Rogers being on the run following the events of Civil War. It was a brief moment that allowed the S.H.I.E.L.D. leader to mourn the legends that got him into the world-saving business, while also offering eagle-eyed fans quick with a pause button a bit more information about Peggy. While Peggy's passing in present day can't come as much of a surprise-she was 95, after all-the decision to mention it in the episode of S.H.I.E.L.D. does. It was hardly a major plot point in Civil War, all things considered-and, while the Sokovia Accords and its ramifications were discussed throughout the episode, the Peggy moment seems to serve a greater purpose.

The show may well end up being cancelled. However, I don't understand why Peggy's death in 2016 seems, in some people's minds, to retroactively end her story in the 1940s. Everybody dies. That doesn't mean the stories of their lives are suddenly wiped from existing.
