Youre seeing a broken Alex in the future, EP Joshua Safran says.
[She] is on the defensive and maybe not all there in her mind.
As for the Academy-based present?

The story picks up the week after New Years no time jump there!
and Alex is intent on diving back into her studies.
Where are you in the season right now?
JOSH SAFRAN:Were deciding, like, whos going to live and whos going to die.
[Laughs] Its the worst thing.
The problem is theyre all such amazing characters, you dont want anyone to die.
You know, youcouldjust not kill anyone off.
I mean, the bar was raised so long ago by that24season 1 finale for stories like this.
Looking ahead, whats going on with Alex right now in the Quantico timeline?
How does that tie into whats happening in New York?Will the storylines share themes?
The midseason finale ended with the bombing at the command center.
Do you have any OMG moments coming up you might tease?
That motor is very clean, but because its so clean, the twists are very large.
And by that, you mean … ?
I dont want to give too much away!
Youll see when you see it.
Youll know what I mean.
She has unresolved issues with Ryan, [and] Nimah has issues with her.
And thats a story that includes everybody.
I would say, as a tease, episode 15 is a very different episode for us.
Its a real heartbreaker.
With all of this going on, what are you most excited for people to see?
I really love the new NATs.
The cast, they always open their arms so wide when anyone new shows up.
Now, lastly, is Priyankas hair … shorter?
So three months later, [she has] new hair, because its gone through some stuff.
Shes not on the run anymore and she can actually get a haircut.
Its an Alex who is on the defensive and maybe not all there in her mind.
And Priyanka, shes very hands-on with that stuff, so that came from her.
She was like, You cant just have my character change.
It has to be reflected in how I look and how I feel.
Shes very connected to Alex.
