Flashback to Quantico – Liam gives Alex her father’s badge. He tells her that her father would be proud of her, she’s at the top of her class. He will be honored to work with her in the field some day. Alex is being stationed in New York, and Ryan is going to DC. He tells her that they will only be three hours apart.
Shelby gets another letter from her parents – she freaks out on Caleb and tells him to stop writing the fake letters. Obviously, Caleb is baffled, he actually didn’t write this letter. Afterwards, Shelby meets with Caleb’s father, to discuss having her parents captured.
In class, each of the students are assigned a terrorist attack to study. They meet with agents that worked on the cases, to discuss how they captured the terrorists.

Miranda has everyone searching for Ryan’s truck. Shelby shows up at the FBI office with Senator Hass, they have a recording of Will talking to Alex on the phone and instructing her to drive the truck.

Flashback to Quantico – Shelby is trying to get her parents to come out of hiding so that she can set them up. She lies to her mother on the phone and tells her that she is working on an immunity deal for her. Shelby and Alex switch cases so that Alex can snoop around her dad’s old case, and Shelby can snoop around the 9/11 files that her parents were involved in.

Hass holds a press conference and says that she is suspending her campaign to help the FBI with the bomb. Meanwhile, Miranda tells Ryan to watch the floor and says that she is heading upstairs to a briefing. Ryan is suspicious, because he notices that the elevator went downstairs instead of up.
Flashback to Quantico – Alex can’t drop the missing log book. Finally, her father’s former partner reveals that he burned it after the Omaha bombing.

But, there is a trip wire on the door – if someone opens the door, a bomb will be detonated an they will be dead.

Alex tells Ryan that she thinks they should run away for those two weeks and get to know each other.
Present time – Simon talks to Alex through the car window. She refuses to unlock the door. He tells her that the bomb team has swept the entire truck, and the bomb is not detonated.

Meanwhile at the FBI office, the bomb that they just took out of the truck is missing. Simon, Rayna, and Shelby realize that Miranda is missing too – they are certain she is the terrorist.
Meanwhile, Miranda is two steps ahead of them. She has already figured out who the real terrorist is. She breaks in to somebody’s office, and finds computer monitors set up in all of the Quantico students houses. The terrorist walks in and shoots Miranda… it’s Liam. While she is gasping for air, Miranda asks him why he is doing this. Liam nonchalantly responds, “ to make things right.”
