Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns Tuesday night with an episode entitled "End of the Beginning" that will mark an uninterrupted run of Season 1's final seven episodes. And according to the show's producers, business is about to pick up considerably.

IGN got the scoop from the cast and crew about the remainder of the season, and executive producer Jeph Loeb said the fans' patience will be rewarded in these final seven episodes.

"This has been a long, slow fuse waiting for the bomb to go off," he said. "All I can tell you is, the bombs are going off. Every single episode is going to have what refer to as a 'Holy eff!' moment."

As for Tuesday's episode, the hour will bring together numerous S.H.I.E.L.D. member we have met throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Coulson and his crew, Agent Sitwell from Thor, Agent Blake from Item 47 and Agents Garrett (Bill Paxton) and Hand (B.J. Britt). Executive producer Jeffrey Bell described the team's gathering as "awesome" and added:

"In episode 16, we have Garrett, we have Hand, we have Sitwell, we have Blake, we have all those people in a room together, and it was very cool. All the actors were geeking out because most of them hadn't had a chance to be in the room together. So it was very fun."

And of course, there's the fallout from Captain America: The Winter Soldier to remember...
