Its a different world post-winter hiatus.
Instead of the world thinking Alex Parrish is a terrorist they now think shes…unstable.
(Ryan started to call her crazy and it didnt go so well.)

Shes still not in the FBI, though, because Liam and Miranda have placed her on trauma leave.
Alex is the only one saying that Elias didnt act alone.
And shes actively secretly investigating it.
With access to said telecom companys records, she tracks all of Elias calls, but nothing pops.
But as she tells Nat, Just because you dont find evidence doesnt meant there isnt any.
The FBI has unscrambled it (is that IRL possible or just TV possible?)
and reveals Elias voice.
Thingsreallyarent going in favor of Alexs theory.
Miranda tells her that you cant always think that youre right.
(Alex throws out a cryptic you were right about Charlie line.)
Shelby and Simon are against her.
Claire shoots her evil eyes throughout the proceeding.
But Alex doesnt care…until Ryan stops by.
He says he doesnt think shescrazy; he just thinks shes in pain.
And with that, Alex reverses her statement at the hearing.
Its time for all of us to move on, she tells America.
Even though Miranda has reinstated Alex, Ryan knows what she did: She lied under oath.
Hes upset that she adoptedhistruth, notthetruth which is kind of obnoxious.
He/she/it gives her a place and time to meet.
The video is shot through a sniper sight.
Duncan disobeyed me, he/she says.
Alex turns around and someone is walking toward her.
Its Natalie and she has a scared look in her eyes and a bomb strapped to her chest.
The Quantico Lesson of the Week is Color Wars.
These are the people who are going to spend the day kicking your ass, the instructors say.
In Color Wars, the two classes will participate in a series of competitions to determine the best group.
The winning group will get to select five NATs from the losing class to go home.
Long story short: The gNATs cheat by hacking the CCTV and disguising the hostages as the captors.
The OrigiNATs end up killing the hostages and complain to Miranda and Liam about said cheating.
And the kicker: Theyre all the same class now.
I guess Ill have to start learning their names.
Also in flashbacks, we learn a bit more about Charlies kidnappers.
They bond over being misunderstood and falsely judged by the world.
Samar tells Caleb (she didnt want to have to give himmoreblackmail money if he didnt approve).
They both go to the restaurant to meet Samar, but her husband is there instead.
And her name isnt even Samar.
Khaled says his wife, Haifaa, agreed to play Shelbys sister 11 years ago.
And thats when Haifaa disappeared.
Khaled asks Caleb and Shelby to help him find his wife…and of course they agree.
The only thing Caleb has learned so far is that the emails Haifaa received were from Croatia.
So many hmmms coming out of this episode.
Who put the bomb on Natalie?
What was Miranda right about regarding Charlie?
Is Raina in on it?
How does this all connect with Shelbys sister?
And most importantly, why are the gNATs SO ANNOYING?
