On Caleb:
Quote:
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Okay, let’s start at the end of this. So the second bomb goes off in the New York/future timeline. Right before that, we see that scene of Caleb walking into the bank — and later, the emergency command center — in the Quantico/present timeline. What does this mean? Is he involved?
JOSH SAFRAN: This is a hard postmortem to do because I can’t give away stuff that’s going to happen three months from now, so I can’t actually say what that scene with Caleb is except to say you obviously see the Mark Raymond story is potentially more tied [to the rest] than we have made it look before.
So wait, can we call Caleb a terrorist?
No, we cannot.
Can we assume, at least, that he’s a villain, that he’s bad?
I will not answer that, unfortunately. I’m sorry, I can’t! You have to spend the next three months wondering the question and hopefully return to see the answer.

So he can't say if Caleb is a terrorist or not and we have to wait until the second part of the season to find out. At this rate, it'll probably be another thing dragged out and then it'll turn out not to be him with a silly cop out explanation?
Quote:
Okay, but Elias we can call the terrorist.
The question of what we can call Elias is a different story, because yes, he is definitely a part of the terrorism plot but is he an arm of the terrorist is a question that will be answered as soon as we come back, which is that he tells them all his experience and then the question in the episode is, was he lying or was he telling the truth? Through the course of the episode, he talks about how he’s basically an arm of the terrorist, but you’re left wondering if he was or not.
You said we would find out the terrorist’s identity in the midseason finale, so to clarify, Elias definitely had a lot to do with the bombing, right?
Elias is, when I said we learn [in the midseason finale] who the terrorist was, I said terrorist or terrorists, and I still stand by that. Elias is technically a terrorist, he perpetrated an act of terror. He did not press the button to blow up the buildings, Grand Central or the emergency command center, but he is a terrorist. The question is, is he a mastermind behind the plan or is he a pawn? That’s the question we have moving forward, but he’s a terrorist.

So we don't even know if Elias is telling the truth? Another cop out "twist" coming up?
On the terrorists' motivation:
Quote:
What can you tell me about the terrorist’s motivations? It seems like by targeting the emergency commander, the terrorist had wanted to target the FBI.
[Laughs] I can tell you to watch on March 6 and have your questions answered. But you are an astute viewer to pick up that, yes, in the emergency command center is the FBI but also other first responders and other emergency workers and political candidates from the DNC donor dinner, including Claire Haas.

How did Claire Haas end up in the emergency command center? I thought they were at the hotel and they evacuated?
On whether Elias is lying or not and Simon:
Quote:
Looking ahead at the back half of this season, what are the main questions and themes the show will be pursuing?
All I can say is that the discussion in the future [timeline] about whether Elias is telling the truth, whether Elias acted alone, forms a major portion of what’s coming, and I think on top of that, there is the idea of how Alex and Simon, especially, handle what just happened. Because while Alex told Simon he could take his hands off that trigger, none of them expected to have what happened to have happened. So that’s going to impact them in a very powerful way.
Is the fact that he triggered the bomb going to destroy Simon? He did deliver a monologue about how easy it would be to just blow everything up.
It’s not looking so good for Simon, that’s all I can say.
