“Forgiven” offers the return of recently paroled Ray DiStefano (Matthew Rauch) who is revealed to be behind the kidnapping of Erin Bell (Adrienne Rose Bengtsson) and later Maggie (Missy Peregrym) as well. The team comes together to help find Maggie’s missing sister, mobilizing across the city, and later Maggie when she is isolated and is taken by DiStefano who plans to give her a star she can’t hide. I’ll give the episode credit for not pulling its punches in the final moments allowing the villain, despite his apparent death, the victory he sought against his obsession who he blamed for the death of his father. “Forgiven” is the kind of episode you would expect to have ripples across the season and beyond.

FBI: International - Pilot

Part three of a three-hour crossover across the various CBS FBI series, the “Pilot” episode of FBI: International introduces us to the FBI’s Budapest-based overseas Fly Team who are called into action to deal with threats outside the United States. The episode follows the thread introduced in FBI and continued in FBI: Most Wanted concerning human trafficker Colin Kent (Oded Fehr) who by the start of this episode has fled the United States with a 14 year-old hostage to avoid prosecution. With a rather unnecessary guest-appearance from OA (Zeeko Zaki), the Fly Team work to find Kent, his blackmail material on powerful pedophiles, and the missing girl.

FBI - Unreasonable Doubt television review

Ghosts from Jubal’s (Jeremy Sisto) past come back to haunt him when the discovery of a serial killer’s dumping ground makes him question the conviction of a man (Ari Fliakos) for a similar crime eight years ago. While Maggie (Missy Peregrym) and OA (Zeeko Zaki) find no holes in the original case, despite their similarities to the current murders, Jubal can’t fight the hunch that he missed something during his heavy drinking days leading him to reach out to his former partner and mistress (Kathleen Munroe).

FBI - Never Trust a Stranger television review

FBI returns with a new season and a new agent in Special Agent Tiffany Wallace (Katherine Renee Turner) but apparently without Ebonee Noel. “Never Trust a Stranger” returns Special Agent Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym) from her undercover assignment to investigate a mass shooting at a liberal media company by a White Power group which involved a source (Andrew Yackel) of OA (Zeeko Zaki). The first-half of the episode deals mainly with Scola (John Boyd) and Wallace getting off on the wrong foot as new partners and Maggie wondering if OA is too close to his missing source to face hard truths about a kid he’s determined to think the best of (even after he takes seven people hostage to avoid being arrested by the FBI).

FBI - Broken Promises television review

The FBI initially believes a shooting at a climate change rally to be politically motivated, or potentially the work of a jealous ex-boyfriend, until a second seemingly unrelated shooting leaves another victim shot by the same gun. The case gets personal for OA (Zeeko Zaki) when his girlfriend (Yasmine Aker) becomes the shooter’s next target. It also exposes some sharp differences in how each of them view the world. Maggie’s (Missy Peregrym) attention over the episode is split between the case and a career opportunity she’s uncertain about pursuing. A connection between all three shootings leads the FBI to look at a recently-paroled young man with a grudge against all three targets, but the real shooter turns out someone deeply affected by what happened to the boy in prison (which the show attempts to reveal in dramatic fashion although the reveal instead feels awkwardly drawn-out).
