It turns out that Alex (Priyanka Chopra) wasn't the only one who was framed in the winter finale of "Quantico". Elias (Rick Cosnett) confessed to kidnapping Alex in the morning of the Grand Central bombing and left her in the hotel because he was blackmailed by the actual terrorist.
Elias was also in the midst of framing Simon (Tate Ellington) for a second bombing when Alex and company figured out that he was involved in the Grand Central bombing. After confessing, Elias ended his own life by flinging himself out of the hotel window.
Meanwhile, the FBI realized that a second bomb was planted in the hotel's boiler room reports TV Guide. The device was defused with literary no time to spare but seconds later, an explosion went off underneath the bank near the Grand Central which has been converted into an FBI command center.
According to TV Line, Caleb (Graham Rogers), in his Mark Raymond persona visited the same bank weeks before the first bombing to request the four biggest safety deposit boxes available. While there, Caleb also admired the bank's proximity to the Grand Central Station.
In the "Quantico" flashback, it was revealed that Caleb went to the bank after being dumped by Shelby (Johanna Braddy) and learned that his senator mom Claire (Marcia Cross) reunited with his dad because she might become the Vice President.
In the same timeline, Alex got a different kind of bombshell when she came face to face with Ryan's (Jake McLaughlin) ex-wife Hannah (Eliza Coupe), with whom he was on undercover assignment, at the fancy New Year's Eve party at the Haas estate. Hannah told Alex how she and Ryan were not together and how he was infatuated with Alex that he even wrote a song for her.
News Eagle says that Alex was so distraught after their talk that she asked Liam (Josh Hopkins) to take her somewhere else when he ended up driving her home.
Do you think that Caleb is the real terrorist who blackmailed Elias? Was Elias even blackmailed to do the things he confessed doing? Will there be an Alex-Ryan-Hannah love triangle in the offing? Tell us what you think of the winter finale. "Quantico" returns on March 6 on ABC.
