Spoilers forward for Episode 6 of FBI Season 7, referred to as “Good,” which willl be out there streaming with a Paramount+ subscription.
FBI returned from per week off within the 2024 TV schedule with an episode that was one way or the other even darker than normal, with a serial killer whose methodology of homicide was “involuntary hysterectomy” of victims… a.ok.a. chopping out a lady’s uterus whereas she was nonetheless alive. Throw in a creepy physician, and there was quite a bit happening in “Good” that prompted Maggie to make the devastating resolution that Ella ought to transfer in together with her uncle’s household. That mentioned, a nasty man was additionally launched within the episode as the primary man she’d ever arrested and was nonetheless obsessed together with her, and I am formally curious for the 2025 TV schedule.
The workforce first determined to research males who had been recognized for stabbing ladies however hadn’t but been busted for killing anyone, when led them to Ray Distefano, described as a “serial slasher.” Recognizing him, Maggie exposited that he disfigured ten ladies earlier than he was captured and convicted of aggravated assault twelve years earlier. He was launched a month earlier than the victims of the brand new serial killer began being taken.
Maggie and OA busted via his door, however as a substitute of discover Distefano ready for them, they found dozens of photographs of each Maggie and Ella that had been taken from afar, clearly with out their information. He’d been watching them. OA clocked that there was much more to the story than that Maggie had simply busted him, and she or he shared a bit extra:
He was my first arrest. We obtained a tip that he was stalking a brand new sufferer, and so we intercepted him outdoors of her home one evening, and he ran. I chased him onto a practice. You recognize, I did not have backup, obtained dicey, however I took him down. Anyway, his obsession along with his victims obtained turned onto me. He was writing me letters from jail for years.
It wasn’t till the companions obtained Distefano within the interrogation room that OA realized that she had actually undersold what had occurred between them when she mentioned that issues “obtained dicey.” The serial slasher taunted her at the same time as OA tried to command his consideration, then proved that watching Maggie and Ella did not imply that he knew all the pieces about them. Commenting that OA’s not Maggie’s “child daddy,” he wished to know who left her alone with Ella.
He then proceeded to present himself a really gross model of an alibi by stating that when he lower ladies, he wished the cuts to be seen, not be hidden on lifeless our bodies. He mentioned:
You do not truly assume I did this, do you? All these ladies, their cuts are hidden by their good, little clothes…. Face, that is finest. Chest. Arms. I simply wish to be remembered. You by no means forgot me, Maggie. Due to that good little reminder I gave you.
She went on to shoot again that “the scar is gone,” which Distefano claimed wasn’t attainable as a result of he “marked [her] deep.” She insisted that it healed, however did not indulge him when he requested to see it. Then he spat in her face when she repeated that the mark was gone, and I am about 50/50 on whether or not or not I consider her. He clearly did not lower her on her palms or her face, or else he would not have demanded that she “present” him. May he have slashed her chest?
Maggie’s wardrobe as an FBI does not usually contain any plunging necklines, so it is attainable that she nonetheless has a scar and FBI launched Distefano right here to revisit him as Maggie’s nemesis afterward. Or perhaps FBI simply launched him as a one-off unhealthy man to plant some seeds of doubt in Maggie’s thoughts about conserving Ella and the agent actually is 100% healed.
Regardless of the full story is, I might be very all in favour of seeing it continued in a future episode. FBI usually is not serialized to observe plots from week to week, though Tiff‘s obsession with getting justice for Hobbs lasted all through the complete sixth season. I do assume it is a protected guess that FBI will no less than proceed exploring Maggie’s journey as a mother after she determined that Ella ought to go keep together with her uncle. It was a devastating resolution that greater than earned them an evening of ice cream for dinner, and certainly not the tip of the emotional story.
