Thanks for opening the thread!

That scene with Leigh dying was horrible I think I might have nightmares from this. I feel sorry for her and her children.

And Nima is with the AIC?????
Now they have Miranda, Will and Nima on their side???

[ElenaBelle]

I was really starting to like Leigh in this episode

WTF at that ending

[Heidsdk]

omg the memory of Simon made me cry so hard!

and omfg her dying and omg the end like what the heck is happening right now !!!!! i dont like this :/ why are those three in on this? will miranda and nimah /:

[TravelHopper]

I believe Nimah and Miranda are running their own op and Nimah is posing as one of the CLF to infiltrate them. And Nimah was the one who saved Alex.

Will might be bad tho...

Leigh's death scene was gruesome

I DID have nightmares of Leigh's death and I was annoyed they killed her off after her being the woman with a family

Nimah in the AIC did not like it, Was upset -sighs-

but do u really think nimah could be undercover? like for sure?
why would she out that lawyer woman then? and have raina sitting tied up in a chair? im really confused!

[Hummelchen]

I know that Quantico is trying to shock us and everything, but the beheading in the first episode, the poison death thing in episode 2 and ow Leigh's death scene?
That was just gruesome.
I really hate watching stuff like this. I hope we won't see more of this this season.

[Heidsdk]

yeah i dont hope either, but i can imagine we will its good shock effect

[Against_all_odds]

I'll be honest: I don't really like this season. It's dragging a lot and it's somewhat repetitive. It's not the same with most of the original cast missing, especially favorites like Caleb. The people at the Farm are just....blech.

Simon's death reminded me of when the show was great.

That being said, Leigh's death made me upset. I don't see what they gained or what they could possibly have on her.

Were Nima and Miranda in on this b.s. from day one?

I don't get why Sebastien being married is a big deal. Why,because he's a closet case?

[TravelHopper]

I'm so confused myself. One minute I'm certain I know, and the next I'm completely doubting my theories and unsure.

It just doesn't add up for all the "good" people from last season to suddenly turn "bad" this season. I know it's been 2 years in the future timeline but it doesn't make sense that Nimah, Miranda, Will are suddenly shady and bad and helping a terrorist plot.

Something doesn't add up here.

Another thing, the terrorist had Lydia at gunpoint and asked her who she was in Swahili and she responded "She (Alex) is not one of you and neither am I." Then, killed him. If Lydia was part of the CLF, wouldn't the terrorist recognize her??? Why ask who she is? She even said she wasn't one of them. Yet. She fought Alex and left her to be found by the terrorists. BUT She didn't kill her though.

It's so bizarre...

What if Ryan is also secretly working with the hostages???
I've actually wondered this off and on

Sebastian claiming he was there as a guest with his wife and reveals he's married like it was some big thing to hide...! Makes me wonder if that was all some BS story. It was way too weird. Either he is gay for real or he had some other reason to hide he was married or made it up.

Indonesia definitely is a trigger point for these terrorists.

If Nimah and Miranda are in on it together, then it's possible they started when the initial mission failed 6 months prior. I'm confused what Nimah was revealing about Dayana by saying she is one of them. It's so vague.

Also when Will called Miranda on the zap phone how did he know the number to call her directly on that phone? Have they been in contact before?

My head hurts and the biggest mystery is that we don't understand what the mystery is.

[Heidsdk]

exactly we really dont know anything at this point.


is miranda really bad? what made her go down that path?
yeah my head hurts aswell so many questions.

what do u mean with maybe ryan is working with the hostages, well ofcourse he is, trying to get them out? or did i missunderstand what u mean?

I meant to clarify that! Sorry!! I meant he may be secretly infiltrating the hostages also and could be switching in and out as a hostage/terrorist, but it doesn't totally add up. Some things may just be coincidence. Im just speculating that he could be undercover still.

Where is Ryan now? Are we going to see him again soon since he was removed from the rest of the hostages?

I assume he is innocent like Alex, but he finished CIA training unlike Alex. He could have been brought in to the AIC while he was still a recruit. Either he is completely innocent or he has more intel than we know right now.

I'm so confused about Miranda.

[Heidsdk]

aah like that yes, i have been wondering aswell where Ryan went
and for that i can see why u would think he could infiltrate the hostages and be one of the terrorists but then again, would they really do that with a main character like that? but its good speculation u have i may add i like it.

i do hope we find out soon, were he is or have been
