Spoiler!

My guess for the connection is that the Gravitonium is actually the Soul Gem. It seems like a “Whedon thing to do”.

1. It has consumed the “souls” of at least two people, and I don’t think the actual number of voices heard has been given.

2. The aether was not a stone and was able to inhabit other life. It would make sense that another “gem” would act similar, and the soul gem is supposed to steal souls into another dimension which could explain where Hall and Quinn are.

3. An Infinity gem would definitely be powerful enough to rip the planet apart.

4. “As he stood over the Gravitonium with Raina discussing giving it to Quinn, Garrett said he could see "its soul."” This is the, Oh look, we told you back at the beginning it was the soul gem, moment.

5. Just the fact that everyone has been wondering where it is and they hid it in a tv show.

Of course this is probably way off base. How to have the Gravitonium end up in Avengers without any AoS actors on the cast list and with 4 episodes remaining in the season, but Ruby’s explosion would make a great timeline sync. That release of power is what draws Thanos to Earth.

But for me it makes a good end point for the series. It was part of this first story arc in the MCU and revealing the soul gem would tie up the reason for the series but allow it to continue if renewed.

I’ve really enjoyed this series and am sad to see it end. It is fantastic to me to see how the budget declined the writing has skyrocketed. My only complaint on this whole season is Deke to me has been overused as comic relief in the second half and lost some of his charm and savvy to love blind puppy dog.

The best ending for me is the inevitability of the planet being destroyed and that’s how they end infinity war. Fitz is right about the timeline, but Fitz doesn’t have the Time Stone.

Then again maybe I’m reading too much into it and just hoping for a cool crossover. ��
