Last time we checked, Caleb was safe on team Alex and Shelby. Will he shift back to the dark side in Quantico season 1, episode 20, “Drive”?
Amongst all of the tangled storylines on Quantico, Caleb Haas’ allegiance has been one of the most difficult to keep track of. His alter ego, Mark Raymond, is only one of the many puzzles regarding Caleb’s character.
When we last saw Caleb in the Grand Central timeline, he was having some pretty serious detoxification problems, but was still managing to help out Alex and Shelby in their quest to catch the Voice. At least, we think he was helping them!
The synopsis for Quantico season 1, episode 20, reads as follows:
With only a few weeks until graduation, the NATS are dispatched to various field offices where Alex and Ryan find themselves working a case together. Meanwhile, in the future, Shelby and Caleb’s relationship takes a turn, and Alex doesn’t know who to trust when she discovers new information about the man she loves.
It’s the “Shelby and Caleb’s relationship takes a turn” part that has us worried! To add fuel to the fire, we previously reported that the Quantico showrunner, Josh Safran, stated that “[Caleb] does something else that’s even worse for [Shelby] in episode 20. And that’s really what’s the nail in the coffin.”
The fact that Caleb is doing something to effect his relationship with Shelby could have a few meanings. The first, and the obvious, is that Caleb really is involved in the Voice’s scheme, or is the Voice himself.
Another option is that Shelby is the one involved with the Voice, and Caleb does something to foil her plan. This option is much less likely, unless Shelby is just a really good actress, because it seems like she has proven her innocence. If she’s lying, that would be a big, interesting twist!
The final option is that Caleb’s actions actually have nothing to do with the Voice. He has many other sketchy things going on, and it would definitely make sense if he was still holding a grudge against Shelby for her actions with his father, so it could be something else entirely.
Caleb and Shelby aren’t the only characters that we’re worried about in the upcoming Quantico episode. The synopsis also offers some troubling information about Ryan Booth: “Alex doesn’t know who to trust when she discovers new information about the man she loves.”
New information is always coming out about every NAT, so this isn’t necessarily surprising, but if anyone has been a moral compass on Quantico, it has been Ryan, so it will be interesting to see what information comes out to make Alex question him.
Alex hangs out with some suspicious people, so she is, understandably, always questioning everyone. However, new, suspicious information about somebody so close to the supposed reveal of the Voice could mean that they have something to do with it.
Everyone is still a suspect, but you’ll definitely want to keep your eye on both Caleb Haas and Ryan Booth in the upcoming episodes! It shouldn’t be much longer before we finally have the answers we’ve been looking for.
Watch Quantico season 1, episode 20, “Drive,” tonight, May 1, on ABC at 10/9c, to see what Caleb and Ryan are up to!
