It was Caleb in the Sistemics headquarters! It was Miranda getting back at the FBI because of Charlie. It was Shelbys fake-dead parents sabotaging America from Jordan. Credit: Philippe Bosse/ABC Every week theres another possibility! If theres one thing this show doesnt need to give us, its more options. Lets get to it… After chatting with all of them, the NATs are given an envelope. So naturally our girl Alex is given a green envelope....
Well, it didn’t take long for EVERYONE to break that academy rule. Yeah, well, it took three more episodes for us to be right. The worst part is the trainees arent allowed to leave campus. Credit: ABC/Phillippe Bosse Well, Miranda is here to fix that…kind of. Once the stories are perfected, the recruits head to the hotel. But these baby FBI agents are pros. As our main five mingle the room, they spot Caleb and Elias mingling as well....
Excuse me, is this ticking time bomb part of the test? Training for the FBI is all about survival of the fittest. There are physical, mental, and emotional demands. Credit: Phillipe Bosse/ABC NATs have to trust the person next to them. They have to be willing to die for their fellow classmates. And if youre able to differentiate between Nimah and Raina, you get bonus points in my opinion. Simon certainly knows the difference....
Finally we get some answers! Let God, episode 6 ofQuantico, be remembered as the turning point of this freshman show. And the biggest thread running through these answers? Credit: Phillipe Bosse/ABC Wow, these people make bad life decisions. There is some trouble in paradise: Caleb thinks Shelby is dating Brandon (Jacob Artist, a.k.a. Pucks little brother fromGlee), the second richest NAT in their class. (Isanyoneworried about breaking rules at the FBI!...
Anne Heche joins the NATs and things get even more confusing. Although we will likely get ourWhos the Bomber? answer by the midseason finale ofQuantico, the answers dont seem to be comingjustyet. Credit: Phillippe Bosse/ABC Or it actually IS Simon and the obvious red herring is just to throw us? Nimah did mention that the building services people helped keep the Twin Twist secret. Before I go down a suspect hole I cant crawl out of, lets recap Guilty....
Instead, Im more confused than ever. Up is down, and down is up. This was one explosive holiday episode (sorry, I had to), so lets talk about it! Credit: ABC/Phillipe Bosse Instead they get a three-day weekend for New Years Eve. This doesnt last long before Caleb shows up in a tux. He says his small family New Years turned out to be a 200-person party. He wants Shelby to come along, but she says Natalie and Alex have to go along, too....
Miranda’s secret is (kind of) exposed. Only 100 more to go. How did we get there? Credit: Phillipe Bosse/ABC And thats fitting because Alex is starting to fill in some of the gaps in her own story. Ever since she read her fathers FBI file, shes been feeling the weight of killing a hero. And because she only has Ryan to talk to, Alexs bottled-up feelings are starting to affect her training....
Let’s talk about Quantico the show, the episode, and the place. Its taken 10 episodes, but ourQuanticoteam is finally on the same page…almost. Does that mean we know whos behind the bombing? Credit: ABC/Phillippe Bosse No, of course not. But its looking very much like well have answers next week. Thats right: Miranda gives the NATs the files of all FBI candidates for next year. While theyre working on nitpicking thefuturecandidates, theyre also trying to take downfellowcandidates....
Do we finally know who the terrorist is? These deaths, though extremely graphic, have a way of making our terrorist list dwindle down. For the time being, it looks as if weve finally found our bad guy. Credit: ABC/Philippe Bosse You never know what tomorrow may bring. Just ask the NATs, who are facing their final training assignments and pending graduations. Alex is heading to New York. Caleb has been assigned San Diego....
In Soon we saw a betrayal of loyalties in both the past timeline and the present. Clayton Haas visits the academy to walk the NATs through the security clearance protocol. The questions include everything from medical, political, and sexual histories. Credit: Betrand Calmeau/ABC She doesnt want the FBI to find out about her parents, something she thinks Caleb understands. Pair that with Iris distrust of Caleb, and theres a recipe for disaster....
A threat to the academy takes a backseat to personal drama Quanticois a show that traffics in shocking moments. LILY VAN DER WOODSEN, PEOPLE! And why exactly are we looking at a photo of Lily, a.k.a. Credit: Philippe Bosse/ABC But Im gettingwayahead of myself. Lets start from the beginning of our academy timeline. You want me gone, youre going to have to fire me, he tells her. So when they get to the Lesson of the Week, things are just a bit tense between everyone....
Among the titles: Jihadi Jane, Bomb Bae, and Terror Babe all blaming her for the attack. (…Or does she?) Were you all just sitting around the writers room tossing out puns? Credit: Phillippe Bosse/ABC I hope you saw the one with Bomb Bae. Priyanka and I were very happy about that. I just loved when Priyanka saw them, she was cracking up. Well, we talked about that as well. I mean, that sells the paper....
One NAT makes a major sacrifice to save the academy and everyone in it It wasThe Recruitall along! My analogy starts to fall apart when I have to compare Ryan to someone…maybe Bridget Moynahan? Hes been a busy bad man. Credit: Jonathan Wenk/ABC I thought youd enjoy watching it all burn down to the ground with me. Sure, this should be a great day for everyone, but instead, most of them are mopey....
