Episode 12 takes place three months after the Command Centre bombing and the producers believe that the programme is better if no one likes Alex so here again she becomes a pariah as she does not go along with the government stance that Elias acted alone.
When she testifies to a committee and changes her mind about Elias being a lone wolf, her colleagues are upset with her. Alex cannot win and given that she has constantly been proved right it makes you wonder why her superiors are not willing to listen to her more.
To keep the soapy romance going and to introduce more suspects as some from the start of the series have not been eliminated literally, we are introduced to new characters in FBI training. A class above our group of trainees and who are pitted against each other in s simulated hostage crisis. The real purpose of these new characters is to keep the plate spinning going as we know these recruits will also have sinister secrets that will soon be unveiled.
