Just like Alex, shed been drugged and doesnt remember anything after the last hearing.

And the flashbacks to Quantico sure give us a reason to suspect the other NAT class.

The scene has a similar vibe to the company party the agents in training infiltrated back inepisode 5.

Therealtest was to see if the undercover agents could get the newbies to flip.

Most notably: Drew and Alex.

The date for this Chicago shooting is a red flag for Alex.

Remember Liam and Ryan have a Chicago history thats been mentioned many times but never explained.

Alex pops by Liams office to subtly inquire about their dates of service there, and the timeline matches.

Later, she does some Internet research and sees press photos of the shooting.

And a one Liam OConnor just happens to be in them.

Could this mean dear Drew could have a reason to turn into a terrorist?

Im going with a definitely maybe.

Shes no longer working on the Joint Terrorism Task Force.

See Hannah Liams ex happens to be in charge of it now and she doesnt trust Alex.

So Alex is relegated to the basement, where shell do clerical duties.

(If sneaking into the FBI is this easy, Im seriously concerned.)

Next they need to get a key card from Ryan and a thumbprint from Hannah.

While she pulls bills out, she also swipes his key card.

Next, Alex gives her phone to Hannah for a security approval, which Alex isnt cleared for.

So Natalie calls in a bomb threat to see to it the area is empty.

But, like, doesnt the FBI still have CCTVs??

And caller ID???

Regardless, they get in, unnoticed, and are able to transfer the files.

The files the terrorists want turn out to be travel plans for all the presidential candidates.

Theyre at a crossroads.

As soon as the email with the worm is sent, Natalies vest unlocks.

They see the location of the terrorists and immediately head there.

What they find is a laptop where the files were sent and no one around.

She runs straight to Ryans house, where she screams, and cries, and generally freaks out.

He thinks shes having a psychotic break, so he offers to check her in somewhere.

But as he calls the hospital, she gets texts of photosof them at that very moment.

This really is Adult A. He/she is everywhere.

So who is this person behind the phone calls, pulling the strings?

Is it someone from the new NAT class?

Why have we never seen Brandon in the present-day scenes?
