A Bombshell Revelation
Alex reveals that Lydia is actually the one who has created and trained the rogue CIA group AIC. She says she tried to tell Lydia’s father, Owen, but he isn’t ready to come to terms with what his daughter has been up to. Plus, he’s too busy putting himself in the crossfire (much to Alex’s dismay) for the CIA trainees to fulfill an assignment.
Alex turns to Shelby for help. Considering their rocky past, Shelby is extremely reluctant to get too close to Alex. But when Alex reveals that she still has nothing but love for the FBI, Shelby has a change of heart and they come up with a plan that allows both of them to get what they want.
By the end of the episode, Alex finally convinces Owen that Lydia is dangerous. He unveils that he found his own proof about Lydia. But he is determined not to “betray her.”

The end of the episode leaves viewers wanting to know what’s next, as Alex and Ryan finally free Nimah from being held captive in a private room.
