But Lydia turns out to be a CIA agent under Owen Hall (Blair Underwood), and Alex learns a cruel lesson: at the CIA, the mission goes first, and they must do whatever they must in order to succeed. Yes, even when it meant lying and cheating to get there. As a result, Alex ends up on the bottom of the murder board, while Ryan is at the top of the class.
Future timeline
Ways down the future, Alex is a bored CIA analyst, while her boyfriend Ryan Booth (Jake McLaughlin) is now part of the POTUS' briefing team. They're both preparing for a presidential summit, which will be attended by a group of high-profile people. She talks to Raina Amin (Yasmeen Al Massri) about returning the engagement ring to Jake. There go the Ralex ship. But after they meet, Alex sees someone she thought to be dead.
Meanwhile, at the presidential summit, a group of masked people calling themselves the Citizens' Liberation Front gasses everyone, including the POTUS and FLOTUS. Alex manages to pin down one of the attackers and realizes it's Jeremy Miller, who's part of her CIA program. He taunts Alex, saying she's "wrong" about so many things, before he jumps to his death.
In order to defuse the situation, POTUS decides to go along with the criminals' demands. But then the operatives suddenly reveal their second mission: to behead the FLOTUS. Then the episode falls to black.
