But more importantly, both timelines were all about Simon.
And when he returned home, Elias grabbed him in the closing minutes.

All I can say is that obviously whats revealed in the final seconds springboards us into the finale.
Okay, lets focus on Simon instead.
I just think, as Ive always said, we havent wanted to drag everything out.
This just felt like the natural point for Simon to talk about his story.
He was just discussing with Orin, did Orin take his plans and create this event or not.
And Orin assured him that has not happened.
Tate did a masterful job, he just astounds all of us every day…
I think Tate has just been an incredible,incredibleactor.
He just managed to go deeper and stronger and kind of make you understand Simons trajectory.
Last week, we talked about howeveryone was on Team Alex.
Now it looks like no one is.
And by the end of the episode, whats running through Alexs head?
Does she have a plan, without anyone to turn to?
Did that feel different in any way to work on?
That was the plan from the first day, so were just really excited about it coming into fruition.
I really love that scene, and I love that song.
When youre kicked out or when you leave, youre out.
So Alex is going to have a hard time now alone, without Ryan.
Am I going to say shes never going to see Ryan again in the Quantico timeline?
Next episode, the midseason finale, deals with that in a very fun way.
Its probably maybe the mostGossip Girlepisode ofQuanticopossible.
I definitely had fun being able to spend a lot of time with the women ofQuantico.
What else can you tease about the midseason finale?
We havent talked about the twins or Shelby and Caleb yet anything you could tell us about them?
And more than that, I think the audience will be surprised at how far we get.
Thats about something that immediately gets you dismissed, theres no trial to be had [for Simon].
He exploded, and you cannot have that.
This means that Ryan ended up getting Simon kicked out even though he was defending him.
But he didnt know Miranda was in the room.
No one had blown up at him when he was a trainee.
That was just a surprising byproduct of him trying to help.
Will he learn that he had a hand in getting Simon kicked out?
I believe he does know.
That would be cool!
But right, only if someone has the time.
And no one will care.
