In New York, Alex and Simon find Raina, but end up putting her in more danger.
Nathalie turns in Ryan and Shelby, only to let Ryan and Alex go.
Did you work backwards from the bomb to figure out how it would play out?

And we also knew we had an is it real or is it not exercise.
There are simulations of such that have existed in movies and we just liked that construct.
Elias said the scenario was like the last 10 minutes ofSaw.
Did it concern you that the viewers would know all the characters would survive the bomb?
Did you and the writers talk about that?
You still feel that tension.
You know theyre gonna survive, but its about what you do when youre pushed to the brink.
And by the way, we talked about it being a real bomb.
We had many iterations but we cant keep playing it like there are crazy stakes and someone dies.
And Miranda definitely masterminded all this?
I kind of feel like shes the terrorist if she can think of an exam like this.
So actually whileyoumay think that shes nuts, I actually think that its interesting what shes doing.
I think its preparing them for the modern age of terrorism.
She also brings out the twins.
Can you tell me about how actress Yasmine al Massri has been handling the process of playing the twins?
This feels like the biggest episode so far for her.
Dont forget: She knew she was playing twins when she auditioned way back in the pilot.
Also, I think she loves the challenge.
I think she feels theyre both a part of her, you know?
And Id say Nimah and Raina stories have been inspirational for all the writers.
In the Quantico timeline, we saw Elias leave.
Will we see him again?
Elias does not return to Quantico.
In the New York timeline, Nathalie lets Alex and Ryan get away.
Whats running through her mind in that final scene?
Its been very tough for her.
Shes always known that shes taken second place in Ryans heart… She knows when shes lost.
On the subject of love triangles, what will we be seeing in the Caleb-Clayton-Shelby story?
The story continues, and you will be meeting Claire [Calebs mom, played by Marcia Cross].
And Calebs contentious relationship with his father, and Caleb and Shelbys relationship really deepen.
Speaking of the next episode, what else can you tease about episode 8?
Does that mean he only liked them when they were one person?
Does he like one of them more than the other?
Theres a beautiful story there as well.
Quanticoairs Sundays at 10 p.m.
