Deception and illusion have been central to “Quantico” since it premiered last season.
As the focus of the weekly lesson at The Farm, they take center stage in Sunday’s episode.
Entitled “KMFORGET,” the episode finds Owen teaching a select group of trainees the importance of deception. By paying careful attention to detail, the future operatives will be able to pull off — and survive — deceptive acts in the field.
Sunday’s episode also includes an update on the terrorist attack in the present timeline. Will Alex be able to continue evading the terrorists? What will Shelby do with the knowledge that Miranda may be working with the enemy?
The episode airs Sunday at 10PM ET/PT, but Headline Planet received an advanced copy. Following our screening, we’re pleased to share six things you can expect in “KMFORGET”.

The terrorists are closing in
The terrorists know Alex is in the building. Her interference in last week’s hostage trade, moreover, revealed her general location within the obvious.
Operating against several seemingly trained people, will Alex be able to continually evade capture? If so, how?
Alex and Ryan team up
In order to avoid suspicion, Alex and Ryan know they cannot get too close at The Farm.
Unfortunately, they do not have a choice this week. They are partnered with each other — and Harry — for the weekly task.
The task requires them to manage a staged crime scene at a hotel. Because the *real* police are involved, the stakes are higher than they have ever been. If the trainees fail, they will be arrested — and required to use an “immunity” card to depart police custody. If they use that immunity card, they will be kicked out of the CIA academy.
Already challenging, the situation is made virtue by virtue of Harry’s vow to learn — and expose — their secret. Can Alex and Ryan come amid the pressure of the task, the “twist” Owen will inevitably throw at them, and the constant badgering from Harry?
You’ll find out Sunday night.
What’s up with Harry?
Suspicious about their presence at The Farm, Harry spends the entirety of Sunday’s episode attempting to learn the truth about Alex and Ryan.
In the process, viewers learn a key detail about his own backstory (assuming, of course, viewers can trust anything they are told on “Quantico”).
What’s up with Owen?
Viewers recently learned that Owen was pulled from the field after his identity was exposed. Sunday’s episode does not reveal the *entire* story, but it does provide more insight into the event that ultimately brought Owen to the farm.
How is Owen really coping with that situation? This week’s episode, which includes a secret collaboration between Owen and Leon, provides an answer.
Will returns
In a recent episode, we saw Harry connect with Will at a bar.
Viewers were definitely not supposed to forget about that encounter. Will factors into both timelines this week.
Shelby investigates the Miranda reveal, meets Leon
In the closing moments of last week’s episode, Eric Boyer sent Shelby a message revealing Miranda’s alleged involvement in the terrorist attack.
Shelby attempts to investigate that reality this week.
Shelby also plays a role in the past storyline. She finds herself drawn to Leon, risking the possibility that her involvement as Alex’s handler will be exposed.
ABC’s broadcast of “KMFORGET” airs at 10PM ET/PT on Sunday, October 30
