History Series / Quantico

* {{Adorkable}}: Simon.

* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: [[spoiler: Nimah and her twin sister look exactly alike, so it's understandable why nobody's privy to their secret. The Bureau is trying to train them both as agents for use in covert operations. {{Justified}} as they couldn't get away with this otherwise.]]

* MathematiciansAnswer: Simon notices that Nimah pins her hijab on the left sometimes, other times the right, and wonders whether this is because of her ambidexterity, or it has some cultural significance. Nimah answers "yes". [[spoiler: This turns out to be because Simon actually saw her [[TwinSwitch twin sister]], who'd pinned it on the left side, and Nimah tells her to always pin it on the right so no one notices this again.]]

* TwinSwitch: [[spoiler: Nimah has a secret twin sneaking around with her at the academy, [[ActingForTwo both played by Yasmine Al Massri]]. Academy Director Shaw is trying to train them both as agents while keeping the fact that there's two of them a secret from the other recruits, so they can be used in covert operations.]]

* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: [[spoiler: Nimah and her twin sister look exactly alike, so it's understandable why nobody's privy to their secret. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as they couldn't get away with this otherwise.]]

* IntroductionByHookup: In the pilot Alex and Ryan meet on a plane to Washington and have sex in the front seat of his car. A few hours later, they run into each other while taking the oath at Quantico. He tries to pretend they're new to each other for everyone else's benefit but she {{troll}}s him by publicly explaining the reason for them being awkward around each other. [[spoiler: Justified as Ryan was assigned to watch her, though his handler tells him "Don't sleep with her again."]]

* {{Nepotism}}: Caleb only makes it into the academy because his parents are well-regarded agents. Ultimately, he proves quite inept during early training. [[spoiler:After Eric's suicide, he washes right out of the academy, unable to deal with the trauma, and comes back as an analyst trainee.]]

* TwinSwitch: [[spoiler: Nimah has a secret twin sneaking around with her at the academy, [[ActingForTwo both played by Yasmine Al Massri]]]].

* SherlockScan: Alex performs a quite impressive one on Booth to explain why he's not worth more to her than a quick fling. It includes manipulating him into naming his footwear as tennis shoes rather than sneakers ''during'' the scan to reveal his west coast dialect.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Priyanka Chopra's Indian accent comes through frequently. It may be justified as her character's mother is Indian, and sent her to live with family in Mumbai for a decade after her father's death.

* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: [[spoiler: Nimah and her twin sister look exactly alike, so it's understandable why nobody's privy to their secret.]]
