One NAT makes a major sacrifice to save the academy and everyone in it
It wasThe Recruitall along!
My analogy starts to fall apart when I have to compare Ryan to someone…maybe Bridget Moynahan?
Hes been a busy bad man.

I thought youd enjoy watching it all burn down to the ground with me.
Sure, this should be a great day for everyone, but instead, most of them are mopey.
But then Liam spills the beans that Ryan turned down the DC offer and is instead going to Texas.
Shelby and Caleb are just as unhappy.
But Caleb doesnt think this is the right thing to do, so he goes to warn Laura Wyatt.
The result is that his parents dont come to his graduation day at Quantico.
In that moment, she came off as evil as Liam.
Speaking of evil Liam, in the present the NYC bureau is aflutter trying to find Miranda.
(For being a mastermind, hes pretty dumb.)
Miranda has gotten loose, and when Liam knocks her out again, he gets blood on his shirt.
This is really bad for him because Ryan is in the parking lot, too.
Liam knockshimout, and then things start to unravel for him.
Simon thinks he would have placed it in the dorms, where it would create maximum damage.
Alex finds Miranda and Ryan tied up.
Now that Alex is close, Liam starts speaking to her over the speakers.
She finds him, but a bit too late.
When Liam pushes Ryan away and goes to shoot, Alex starts shooting first.
I had no idea Ryan wasMatrixtrained.
Ryan and Alex find the nuclear bomb on the next floor.
While the group is arguing about where to take it, Simon sneaks out with it.
They run after him, but hes already driving away.
On the phone, Alex and Raina talk to Simon up until the last minute.
Its an emotional scene, and Im embarrassed to say I did tear up a bit.
Simon says goodbye and then drives off a bridge, saving them all.
NEXT: A mini cliffhanger
The next we see the group, theyre at Simons funeral.
Miranda has been promoted, Ryan briefed Congress, and Shelby is back in the FBI.
The only person to come out poorly is Alex, who didnt get her badge back.
It would boost Claires election and give Liam the ability to clean house in the FBI.
Im a bit hazy on how this makes sense, but whats new?
She wont admit to it, though she doesnt deny it either.
And her son, Caleb, is right behind her listening to the whole thing.
Claire, maybe the next time you talk about secret nuclear plans, check your back?
Life is normal for her…for two months.
Ryan calls her at that moment, and she has to decide: Ryan or the CIA.
I think we all know what shes going to choose.
Now she can be.
