Also, who were the two agents that came to help, ordered by the computer in the car, Alex and Ryan? Was the implication that Ryan was flown to a hospital or other? Things didn't seem to flow smoothly, at least for me, at that point in the episode.
They aren't agents. They are the hacker people that helped Alex broadcast her message.
ABC has ordered 22 episodes for the first season. Episode 8 just aired this past Sunday, so we are not even half way through the season.
I looked at the history of how a few more episodes were ordered several different times. It's kind of interesting to see how a full season was created.
With the holiday specials, that initial order for four more shows, I believe, the Sundays other special or awards programming replaces them, they will carry it off. Given the terroristic activity we've seen in three countries, it will be interesting to see if they lean more into this or not. I hope the writing and acting are crisp and engaging.
Does anyone remember what the nature of Alex's specific challenge, when the NATs were each given different situations that were actually just different parts of the same situation?

Okay, so straight out terrorism. The reason why I was asking was because I was looking ahead: Can they drag out this back-and-forth between recruit training and what happened right after the Grand Central Station bombing for four seasons? I doubt it. It seems to me that sometime before the middle of the second season (and probably by the end of the first season) they're going to have to either exonerate Alex or make her a more permanent rogue but one that the FBI is no longer pursuing on a daily basis. This "oh my gosh she's going to get caught" (or, as the case may be, "oh my gosh she got caught") is going to get old quick. And the flashbacks, which may seem to be a feature of show, will either have to radically change in nature (i.e., flashing back to events other than the few months of training), become very occasional, or vanish.
And...
Spoiler
... if you read the ABC Press Releases on the show, you know that during the next two episodes she gets interrogated, and then, after that, is covertly working "with her team" (which sounds to me that either she escaped or the interrogation determined that she was not guilty and she was, at least secretly, reinstated). So...
... given her assignment during training, I'm guessing the show is going to evolve into a more traditional, counter-terrorism procedural.

Given that Season 1 ends in 1 or 2 episodes, I'll bet she is exonerated. Then, give how she's helped Liam and Miranda, she'll head up or at least co-lead a team. That team may look back at old FBI cases or assigned a special type in the future. Either way, if they want to stick with the back and forth format, they could do that with how the team progresses and *looks back* as other agents might have reviewed data. Then fast forward to the present crisis to rethink/rework cases.
I think, given the shootings in Ore, Paris and now San Bernadino, the producers and writers have to be cautious, if they want to stay on the air. That's one reason heading up a specialty unit or old cases may be better received by many. Too much back and forth or too intense, people won't watch. We see the intense stuff daily. We need more analysis and working behind the scenes.
I've said this before, but Season 1 is 22 episodes. There are a lot more then just one or two episodes left this season. Episode 10 just aired, so we're not even half way through the season.
