Did you miss the first 11 episodes of Quantico? Here’s everything you need to know before the show returns March 6.
FBI Trainees
The show centers around Alex Parish (Priyanka Chopra) and her fellow FBI trainees (called NATS) after a bomb levels New York’s Grand Central Station. The FBI is convinced it was an inside job, and labels Parish their number one suspect.
O’Connor and Shaw
Agents O’Connor and Shaw share responsibility for training the agents, but they differ on how they feel about Parish. After Grand Central Station is bombed, O’Connor goes after Parish while Shaw helps her evade capture. The two have some dark history together, but by the last episode, they’re working together (for now) with Parish to find the real terrorist.
Parish and O’Connor
Parish surprised everyone when she forgave O’Connor for setting her up to get kicked out of the academy. Then she made everyone uncomfortable by maybe making out (or worse) with her instructor after a New Year’s Eve party gone awry… We’re sure this storyline will make a comeback this spring.
On the run
Parish goes on the run, determined to uncover the real terrorist. She starts tracking down her fellow trainees, interrogating them when necessary, but manages to convince several of her innocence along the way.
Agent Booth
Agent Booth and Parish have an on-again-off-again romance complicated by the fact that he is an undercover agent brought in to the trainee program to spy on her. Also, after things get too complicated between them, he starts dating Agent Vasquez — which complicates things even more.
Agent Vasquez
Vasquez and Parish bug each other from the start. Both want to be the best, and both have eyes for Agent Booth. When push comes to shove though, Vasquez has (so far) got Parish’s back.
Undercover Twins
All the recruits seem to have secrets, but none compare to the fact that Nimah Ramin is actually twin sisters, Nimah and Raina Amin. Brought on by the FBI’s head trainer, the two women prove quite adept at fooling everyone.
Agent Shelby Wyatt
Shelby Wyatt wires money to a supposed half-sister in the Middle East that may or may not have terrorist ties. We don’t know yet if the con artist pretending to be her sister has anything to do with the bombings.
Like father, like son?
Caleb Haas’s parents are both agents, with his dad, Clayton, a big shot at the FBI (and therefore able to pull strings for himself and his son) and his mother, Claire, in the running for the White House.
Caleb on the edge
In the last episode, we saw Caleb opening a safety deposit box at the bank that later blows up and kills 32 FBI agents… Could he be one of the terrorists?
Eavesdropping
Even after her fellow trainees (and dare we say friends?) help Parish clear her name, she turns around and spies on them — getting everyone angry again just in time to make the second bomb blast particularly hard for Parish to investigate.
Simon Asher
Agent Simon Asher has been at the top of our suspect list for a while, what with his dubious ties to an Isreali bomber, his insistence on pretending to be gay even though he’s not, and the fact that he — in a fit of anger — designed a version of the bomb scheme being used by the terrorists.
The Hotel Showdown
Elias Harper, an FBI analyst, has been a thorn in Simon Asher’s side since the start. But who’d have thought he’d turn out to be helping the terrorists? Turns out, he was being blackmailed to help frame Parish… but he leaps from a hotel window in shame before anyone can get more information out of him, leaving us without our best lead on who the real terrorist is.
