Do 'Agents Of SHIELD' And 'Inhumans' Have A Hidden Connection?
Marvel’s Inhumans has already revealed one important connection to fellow ABC series Marvel’s [...]
Inhumans Among Us
It seems more likely that Medusa and Crystal's parents and their allies were exiled to Earth. On first consideration, sending a small, rebellious army to live among humans on Earth seems like a terrible idea if you're trying to keep your secret society a secret.
However, it should be noted that, at least according to Marvel canon, even Inhumans without notable superpowers can live for at least 150 years, meaning we have no clear idea of when this rebellion took place compared to Earth's history.
This means it is quite possible that the rebels were exiled at a time when human communication technology was not as pervasive and powerful as it is today, allowing a relatively small number of powered individuals to exist among the human population relatively unnoticed.
Perhaps this intermingling of exiled Inhumans and humans is why so many Inhumans were revealed through Terrigenesis after Terrigen got into the fish supply. The arrival of exiled Inhumans on Earth would add a fresh influx of Inhuman genes to humanity's gene pool.

Jiaying, Daisy Johnson's mother, is the oldest Inhuman to appear on Agents of SHIELD, save for the demigod Hive. She founded the Inhuman refuge called Afterlife and managed to synthesize new Terrigen crystals to allow certain Inhumans to undergo Terrigenesis.
Perhaps she wasn't alone in all of this. It is possible that she sought out others like herself after discovering her own abilities. Perhaps she found some of the exiles or their descendants and learned from them some of the secrets of Terrigen. Perhaps some of these exiles or their children are even among those that Jiaying stole life from in order to extend her own.
Its all theory, and it's mostly background color, but those exiled Inhumans did have to go somewhere, and its hard to see where else Jiaying would have found information on Inhumans if even much of Hydra was in the dark at the time.
Marvel's Inhumans airs Fridays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC. Marvel's Agents of SHIELD will return for its fifth season on December 1, 2017.
