How convenient of Khaled, the "husband" of Haifaa, to show up and claim she was kidnapped after Caleb basically blew the whistle on her. Now he can ask for more money to pay the phantom "kidnappers", then scoot back to Saudi Arabia with one last payoff.

Caleb's father says that he's a danger to himself and those around him, and had to stop him himself when he risked other people's safety. It's possible that Caleb is part of the group that convinced Miranda's son to plan his shooting. However, Caleb is too wrapped up in his own psychological issues to realize the consequences or that he did anything wrong, and his father has too much pride to admit that his son has violent tendencies and could cause serious damage as an FBI agent. This forces Director Haas to walk the line between protecting the world from his son and protecting his own reputation. Director Haas is also the person framing Alex, as he likely has access to all the info Liam does and decided that should Caleb do something bad, like set off a bomb, Alex would be the perfect patsy. He's also one of the few people with the authority to remove Miranda from her position as Quantico director, which he may have done because she was getting to close to figuring out the connection between Caleb and her son.

* Possibly confirming this is that tn the fourth episode we discover that Miranda suspects Liam, and Liam himself has been trying to push Alex out of the academy. A bombing of Grand Central could easily be blamed on a promising, but troubled, young agent wanting to follow her father's footsteps and, when she washed out, she took revenge. But since Alex stayed on, it ironically became even easier for Liam to frame her for the bombing.

Miranda really misses the old days.

[[WMG: Simon knows about Rainah and Nimah.]]
Considering how Simon lived in the Gaza strip, there's no **way** he'd be as ignorant as to think the side which Nimah tied the pin of her scarf could possibly have any extra meaning. He didn't ask that question out of curiosity, but to subtly let Rainah know that she and her sister's different ways of arranging their headscarves was a giveaway, even if Raina herself thinks he did it unintentionally. Simon's actions have constantly been reinforcing the twins cover, both by continuing his friendship despite personality differences (the way Simon kept hanging out with Rainah even after Nimah was incredibly harsh with him), as well as how he subtly points out cracks in their cover with 'unintentionally observant' comments (his comment to Rainah that she shouldn't feel exhaused when they've been doing this routine 24 hours for the past month). The comments especially are both too observant and helpful to be anything other than deliberate warnings, deliberate hints for the twins to fix cracks in their facade. Why Simon doesn't let on that he knows and chooses to subtly help out is, however, a mystery.

The Simon who went to live in the Gaza Strip was gay and wore glasses. The man who left four years later calling himself Simon is straight and doesn't need them. They call attention in ''America'' to the fact that, while it's possible to get into Gaza, getting out is a lot more difficult. That would explain why he's wearing fake glasses and pretending to be gay (the latter is a WMG in itself, but would explain his interest in Nimah, discomfort around Elias, the fact that he hasn't slept with his last four boyfriends, and his fake boyfriend in the pilot).

Everything has just been one big lie to pin it all on someone. When that person finally gets the blame and most likely killed, she'll have spun one hell of a XanatosGambit worthy of [[Anime/DeathNote Kira]]

He hasn't had sex with any of his four boyfriends, is visibly uncomfortable with another gay FBI agent hitting on him, and seems interested in Nimah beyond just his perceived love of Islamic culture. If you want to peg him as the terrorism suspect, it's possible he's faking his homosexuality to make him less obvious as a target.

Furthermore, it's implied that he already knew Alex's father personally before she showed up, which would give him insight into her and the ability to start her FrameUp as soon as she gets into Quantico. What's likely is that Alex's father found out that Liam was mixed up in something less-than-savoury. Unable to turn against his (friend? partner?), he resigns but says nothing. Liam is able to use the Parrish family agents as patsies in his own schemes.

[[WMG: Liam is behind the attack]]
The trainees learn a very valuable lesson in episode 2: a tip is only as good as its source. The audience will learn this lesson as well. Liam is the one who called in the tip about the attacker being a rookie agent, and we're expected to trust that simply because he's in a position of authority. The entire premise of the show is a ruse built by Liam to keep suspicion off of him.\\
