The much awaited Season 2 of
ABC
's hit show
Quantico
premiered on September 26. And just like the previous season, the show manages to maintain nervous energy and suspense till the very end of the first episode.
The show is yet again divided into two timelines and keeps moving back and forth all through (which does cause a lot of confusion). It begins with a take it or leave it job offer by Matthew Keyes from the CIA followed by a fast forward where Alex (
Priyanka Chopra) can be seen in a brief chat with Ryan (Jake McLaughlin). While Ryan is now a part of the President of the United States’ daily briefing team, Alex calls herself a civilian.
Ryan leaves soon enough for the G20 summit and Alex chooses not to wait for him. She keeps the ring given by him on the table and walks away. This also indicates how her relationship with Ryan seems to have changed over the course of time.
In the next scene, Alex is walking around New York’s Financial District, looking distressed when she spots a man she killed herself, and she knows something is wrong. This is followed by a string of coordinated bomb attacks.

Meanwhile, Alex sneaks inside the building to find masks and equipments of the assailants in a trunk and that is when one of the assailants hits her. She fights him and discovers it is Jeremy Miller who tells her how she has got a lot of things wrong. Before Alex can know more, he jumps out of the window. In the hall room, the assailants put forth their demand to the President and threaten to execute the First Lady.
Will Alex be able to save them? What is the future of her relationship with Ryan? Is she a civilian or still part of the CIA? All this remains to be seen in the upcoming episodes.
All the action in the present is interrupted with a flashback of Alex's training tests at the CIA with Ryan Booth.
Even this time around the plot is undoubtedly gripping, and keeps you hooked to the next. However, the confusion around the timelines could have been avoided. There are several quick switches between the past and the present which lead to chaos and you might need to watch the show all over again.
READ ALSO:Priyanka Chopra found it 'weird' to audition for 'Quantico'This time the action centers in New York, which is a treat to watch. And we can't wait to see more of it. There are many new characters on the show, while some we are familiar with such as Nimah Anwar (Yasmine Al Massri), Shelby Wyatt (Johanna Braddy), and Miranda Shaw (Aunjanue Ellis), some we are not.
What we totally loved on the show is desi girl Priyanka Chopra who proves, yet again, that she can do anything which includes kicking butt in high heels, jumping off the plane etc. She carries the show on her shoulders and looks perfect even in action sequences. Her relationship with Ryan Booth also comes as breather from all the intense action.
Despite all the interruptions, the first episode has left us asking for more. As the trailer puts it, there are many secrets and truths yet to be unraveled.
