Ep 1. Run

In the first episode of Quantico season 1 titled "Run," we are introduced to a group of FBI recruits as they begin their training at the Quantico base in Virginia. The episode opens with Alex Parrish, played by Priyanka Chopra, running through the woods in her gym clothes. It is later revealed that this is a flashback to her childhood, where she ran to escape from her abusive father.

Fast forward to present day, and Alex is one of the recruits at Quantico. It's clear from the beginning that she is a skilled and determined candidate, but we quickly learn that everyone has their own secrets and motivations for joining the FBI. There's Ryan Booth (Jake McLaughlin), a charming former Marine who catches Alex's eye, Nimah and Raina Amin (Yasmine Al Massri), identical twins with a shared secret, and Shelby Wyatt (Johanna Braddy), a southern belle who is not to be underestimated.

The focus of this episode is on the recruits' first training exercise, which involves them being dropped off in the woods and given the task of finding their way back to Quantico without being caught by their instructors. It's a test of their strength, intelligence and teamwork, and we see each character's unique strengths and weaknesses come into play.

As the recruits navigate the woods, it becomes clear that not everyone is playing by the rules. There is tension between some of the recruits, and it soon becomes evident that something more sinister is at play. When one of the recruits is found dead, tensions reach an all-time high and the FBI is called in to investigate.

Throughout the episode, we're also given glimpses of a future terrorist attack and the key players involved. It's unclear how this ties into the present-day events at Quantico, but it adds a layer of intrigue and urgency to the story.

Overall, the first episode of Quantico sets up a thrilling and complex story that will keep viewers guessing. The diverse cast of characters is intriguing, and the writing sets the stage for a show that is equal parts action, drama, and mystery. Fans of crime thrillers, spy dramas, and action-adventure shows will find plenty to love in Quantico.
