Things are heating up on "Quantico," with the FBI finally issuing a shoot-to-kill order on Alex Parrish (Priyanka Chopra).

In the last episode, viewers saw Alex on the run, being too good to be caught by the FBI. She went to Simon Asher (Tate Ellington) for help, because Simon's company has access to government databases. They both found out that the plan to frame Alex started since the beginning of her stay at the FBI Academy. Viewers also saw at the end of the episode that Simon is playing "double agent," and fans question his loyalty to Alex, according to Fashion & Style.

Meanwhile, Liam O'Connor (Josh Hopkins) asked for Alex's mother, Sita (Anna Khaja), to be brought to the New York command center. Sita was convinced that Alex is involved with the Grand Central Terminal bombing, and ask for her to surrender during a live TV broadcast.

A promo video was released for the upcoming episode of "Quantico," which is entitled "Kill," and viewers saw Elias Harper, an FBI analyst trainee, telling Simon during a flashback scene that, "the most dangerous enemy America faces is the enemy within." The narrator is also quoted saying "trust no one," which gives a hint on what will happen next between Alex and Simon. Alex was also seen fighting with Shelby White (Johanna Braddy), and it appears that Shelby has chosen the FBI's side. In the midst of their battle, Alex's former best friend at Quantico said that she can't always outrun the bureau.

ABC posted a synopsis of "Quantico" episode 4, and the summary reads, "At Quantico, the recruits are tasked with performing a hostage rescue training exercise that shakes Alex, making her question her ability and whether she should quit Quantico. While in the future, Alex continues to search for clues, finding one that questions the innocence of one of her closest classmates. But is her clue really what she thinks? No one is who they seem."

New episodes of "Quantico" air every Sunday on ABC.
