FBI: Most Needed’s fall finale was intense throughout, however the case of the week notably put Barnes and Ray by way of the wringer as they confronted a band of soiled and really racist cops. Each escaped with none bodily harm, and Ray might go house to Cora and Caleb. As for Barnes… properly, I’m ready for her to get some excellent news after her losses on the non-public entrance. After all, followers had already seen Barnes’ marriage disintegrate; Remy getting a disappointing response from Abby and Hana studying about Ethan’s drug downside are extra urgent relationship issues for the 2025 TV schedule.
Relationship Woes On The Process Power
Not one of the reveals in CBS’ FBI universe are about relationships, however Most Needed has devoted screentime to every of the characters’ private lives in Season 6 to this point. Remy’s relationship with Abby gave the impression to be going as splendidly as something ever does on Most Needed, and information that her work would hold her in New York longer than standard raised the opportunity of cohabitation for so long as she was on the town.
Abby turned down Remy’s provide, nevertheless, providing some considerably skinny however actually legitimate excuses for not wanting to show their lengthy distance relationship into residing collectively simply because she caught a case in NYC. They didn’t break up on the finish of the autumn finale, however Remy wasn’t precisely leaping for pleasure after she declined to stick with him. (You’ll be able to stream the autumn finale now with a Paramount+ subscription.)
And whereas that’s actually a bummer for Dylan McDermott’s character, it actually pales compared to poor Hana going from wanting ahead to an evening watching the Rockettes’ Christmas Spectacular together with her healthful boyfriend to studying about his drug behavior and storming out of his condo.
Showrunner David Hudgins’ feedback about Michael Raymond-James’ function on the present counsel that Hana strolling out wasn’t the top of his time on the present, although, so it stays to see what 2025 has in retailer for them. Possibly Hana wanted to lean on any individual similar to Barnes did when she leaned on Hana earlier this season! And talking of Barnes…
I’m Prepared For Extra Barnes
I’ve at all times been a fan of Barnes and Roxy Sternberg’s portrayal of the agent, and I am fortunate sufficient that Sternberg is among the final two authentic sequence regulars nonetheless on board Most Needed. The character truly missed the early episodes of Season 6, however the showrunner had previewed her arc when he spoke with CinemaBlend forward of the premiere within the fall. On the time, David Hudgins mentioned:
Barnes is the one who’s now divorced. Her youngsters are in D.C. We have got a narrative with Barnes this yr, sort of making an attempt to determine what her id is. ‘Who am I?’ She’s not a spouse anymore. She’s nonetheless a mother, however she’s single, and as a substitute of simply wallowing in her pity, she’s going to do one thing about it and get on the market. So she’s going to satisfy some individuals, and we’ll have some enjoyable tales the place we actually take Barnes locations the place she hasn’t been earlier than.
We’ve already seen the early levels of Barnes coping with her divorce from Charlotte and her youngsters residing a whole bunch of miles away, and the final Barnes-centric episode confirmed that whereas she was within the very early levels of processing her new scenario, she was making progress. What we haven’t seen but is Barnes “going to do one thing about it and get on the market.”
The showrunner’s feedback again in October don’t imply that followers ought to 100% rely on a love connection for the character so quickly after her break up from Charlotte, however they do no less than point out that we may very well be getting one other juicy Barnes episode as soon as FBI: Most Needed returns within the new yr. Although the present must proceed Remy and Hana’s relationship storylines and there are nonetheless massive questions on Nina, I’m optimistic about time being reserved for Roxy Sternberg’s character to get the highlight once more.
For now, followers simply have to attend for FBI: Most Needed (in addition to FBI and FBI: Worldwide) to return to CBS. The winter premieres for all three reveals are scheduled for Monday, January 27 of their standard time slots. With some weeks of hiatus left to go at this level, you’ll be able to at all times revisit earlier episodes of the latest seasons on Paramount+. I’d return to the primary massive Barnes episode of Season 6, in hopes of what might observe sooner moderately than later in 2025!
