They are going to “put eyes on them.” Alex argues that they have earned her trust – but Miranda and Liam tell her that she can’t trust anyone right now, and the person that framed her might be one of the people closest to her.

Meanwhile, Caleb is on a mission to find proof that Shelby’s sister is real. He sneaks in to her dorm room to look through her laptop. Shelby walks in and catches him – he swears that he is trying to help her.

She orders Natalie to explain herself in front of the entire class.
Natalie cries that she faked the scar before she got in the FBI, she lie in family court and said that her ex-boyfriend Eddie did it to her so that they couldn’t get custody of her daughter because he was a bad man.

While they are all arguing…Simon marches in. He announces that he is “The one that planned Grand Central.” Everyone stops talking and stares at him in disbelief.
Simon explained that he planned a political act – when he was at Quantico – after everyone turned against him. He never was going to actually use it, but he had the bomb plans all written out. Someone must have stolen the plans from him at Quantico, because as soon as the bomb went off at Grand Central, he recognized the layout and procedure.

He promises not to tell her, as long as she cuts her in on some of the money she is scamming from Shelby. Shelby listens in on the conversation and begins sobbing when she realizes that her “sister” lied to her and they aren’t actually sisters.
