10 Completely Insulting TV Plot Twists

Attempting to unravel Quantico's plot is like trying to solve a Rubik's cube underwater while blindfolded after having your hands chopped off.

Alex Parrish, a former FBI agent, is recruited by the CIA to infiltrate the CIA training program. Parrish's goal is to root out a group of rogue agents that have been forming from within the CIA. She ultimately fails her mission.

Cut to a few months later, when Alex, and most of the main characters, are attending the G20 summit with hundreds of world leaders and dignitaries. The summit is taken hostage by a group of terrorists, who immediately execute the First Lady of the United States on live television. Parrish and her allies quickly surmise that the terrorist group is the rogue faction of the CIA she had previously failed to find.

Nope.

It turns out that the terrorists are comprised of "patriotic" FBI and CIA agents (including several major characters) that are trying to find members of the rogue faction who are attending the summit, which was lead by the First Lady. This was honestly their best plan. We're also expected to support them for some reason.

Then the crisis ends, ISIS takes responsibility, and everybody goes home, free of criminal charges. No, really.

Quantico, like many other series, never attempted to be particularly grounded in reality, but the sheer lack of logic involved in... anything... is simply mind-blowing. It certainly appears that the writers tried to cover up their lack of thinking by shrouding everything in utter confusion.
