Why makethatthe moment you shout out toDie Hard, the film that inspired this storyline?
On a more serious note, what does this mean for Alex?
Shes going to give a shot to stop them any chance she gets.
Giovanni Rufino/ABC
Yes, [shes changed].
Its a whole new day for Alex.
Now as for Ryan and Harry, they obviously have some issues to resolve.
Giovanni Rufino/ABC
Whats running through their heads?
Itprobablydoes have to do with that.
Given what Shelby does to Miranda, albeit unwittingly, can we safely say that Shelbys on Alexs side?
Giovanni Rufino/ABC
Yep, I would believe that to be so…
I like Shelby and Miranda together.
We also see Will Olsen again.
Will his scene with Harry tie help reveal whats going on with Harry?
It wasnt so much Why Will?
As always, I want to learn more about the exercise featured in the episode.
To learn the assessment lesson, they get dropped in the woods and have to find their way back.
What can you tell me about researching this?
[The exercise] is real.
We actually wanted to do this story in season 1 because theyre also taught land navigation at Quantico.
It ended up morphing into the episode where they cross the border.
In Montreal, we couldnt find woods close enough to the stages to shoot it.
In New York, that was not the case.
There are some scenarios this year that are actually [based in] fact.
The Farm operative training is actually more active, so were able to hew closer to the truth.
How do you go about choosing which exercise to show in which episode?
We do the present first.
Thats another reason why the storys a little clearer this year.
So last year for season 1, did you break stories by doing the opposite?
It actually went back and forth.
We made a decision this year that we wanted it to be more thematic.
There are thematic words for every episode, and we carry those through.
This episode introduces Leigh, a new recruit.
Why bring her into the fold?
What does she bring to the table that made her an important addition?
So we always wanted that character.
I just loved that she had Post-its with her, even in the middle of the woods.
We were joking about that, like, she keeps them in her boots.
Shes never going to be without Post-its, because everything has to be accounted for at all times.
They just asked for their phones and wallets, they didnt ask for their Post-Its.
Lydia has something up her sleeve.
What should we keep in mind while following her story?
Should we be paying attention to Lucas?
You shouldnotbe paying attention to Lucas at all.
Lucas is just part of telling that story and showing that Lydia and Owen are just too far apart.
They think they know where they are at all times, but those places dont line up.
It was just to show that Lydia is going to look at any way to not be her father.
She also says, Im in.
Tell me what to do next.
Any clues to what that means?
Youll know in the next episode.
Finally, the rogue faction is now known as the AIC.
How did you and the writers come up with that?
Rogue faction is just ridiculous.
Lets just call them AIC!
And we were like, What?
And he was like, Its the CIA in reverse!
