Quantico Season 1 Episode 16 (S1E16) Review: I like the way the series is progressing week by week. Gathering up the pace in time has certainly done the series some good. The plot of the terrorist threatening Alex to get his dirty work done is continued this week. In the last episode, Alex and Simon decide to tell Hannah everything about the Voice. (see: All Episodes of Quantico.)
The episode begins with Hannah been told everything about the dilemma Alex is in. She decides to take the case to the FBI but restrains herself from doing so due to Alex’s fear for her friends’ lives. Ryan is already suspicious of the things going on between Alex and Hannah. He finds it hard to believe that Alex and Hannah are even able to see each other eye to eye.
