Spoilers forward for the seventh episode of FBI: Most Needed Season 6, referred to as “Freeway to Hell” and can be accessible streaming with a Paramount+ subscription.
The FBI: Most Needed activity drive stayed near dwelling within the newest episode of the 2024 TV schedule, when a triple murder in NYC led to a cash laundering scheme and a harmful biker gang. The character who obtained essentially the most focus this week was Remy, together with the return of Abby. Their relationship continues to be going nicely after what showrunner David Hudgins informed us earlier this season, and I am left pondering extra a few large loss of life that might result in a tie with NBC’s Legislation & Order department of the nine-show Dick Wolf TV universe.
Whereas loads of folks truly died in “Freeway to Hell,” the duty drive ended up on the case after the Queens District Lawyer and her husband had been executed. Now, once I first heard the episode point out the DA, my thoughts instantly jumped to Tony Goldwyn‘s character over on Legislation & Order. Nick Baxter is the DA of the borough of Manhattan, so FBI: Most Needed killing off the Queens DA is not an indication that the related TV universe has separated. (The FBIs, Legislation & Order reveals, and One Chicago are all related after a Chicago P.D. crossover with FBI again in 2020.)
So, the canons of each reveals nonetheless match nicely sufficient heading into the 2025 TV schedule, and I do not actually anticipate Most Needed to proceed the story of a murdered DA when Remy and Co. have new criminals to chase everywhere in the nation on a weekly foundation. A collection that has each purpose to deal with an executed district legal professional and/or the method of changing her? That will be Legislation & Order.
I am not suggesting that the brand new yr begins out with Legislation & Order making an entire storyline out of Most Needed‘s murdered DA, however mentioning it might be an entertaining and fairly innocent Easter egg. A alternative Queens DA would not need to have an effect on the general story of Legislation & Order, and even Legislation & Order: SVU‘s dealings with different boroughs in latest seasons have typically concerned The Bronx, Bruno, and BX9. A nod to Most Needed from the Legislation & Order world could be enjoyable, and could possibly be so innocuous that no one would even discover except they watched each reveals.
Do I feel that it will occur? Possibly not, nevertheless it’s arduous to not speculate when so many related reveals are set in the identical metropolis. A latest episode of FBI additionally appeared like the right time for a Legislation & Order cameo, if not for a complication through Jeremy Sisto‘s Jubal. Moreover, One Chicago is getting a giant three-part crossover within the new yr; why not speculate concerning the different six reveals of the franchise?
If Legislation & Order does make a nod to Most Needed killing off the Queens DA, it will not be for some time. The NBC hit already aired its fall finale, and Season 24 will not be again till Thursday, January 16 at 8 p.m. ET forward of SVU at 9 p.m. ET. There’s nonetheless another episode of Most Needed earlier than the tip of the yr, although, with the autumn finale for Remy and Co. airing on Tuesday, December 17 at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.
