Spoilers forward for Episode 12 of FBI: Most Wished Season 6, referred to as “68 Seconds” and accessible streaming with a Paramount+ subscription.
The Fugitive Job Drive was again in motion with the newest episode of FBI: Most Wished within the 2025 TV schedule coping with a collection of rapes in Maine after Remy’s ex-girlfriend April was attacked. It made for a heavy hour of tv, notably when Hana, Barnes, and Nina all confided in one another than they’d been assaulted themselves in some unspecified time in the future of their lives. There was a short tangent from the case worthy of Legislation & Order: SVU elsewhere within the nine-show Dick Wolf TV universe, when Hana resolved the cliffhanger from final week’s episode with only one line.
And whereas I am glad that the replace was excellent news for Ray Cannon and his household, I really hope that the off-screen decision wasn’t the top of this storyline for The X-Information alum Steven Williams, particularly after what one skilled FBI: Most Wished director instructed me about attending to work with him. However first issues first!
Steven Williams’ Season 6 Story
Steven Williams has been a recurring visitor star since early Season 5 as Ray Cannon Sr., after a case prompted Ray Jr. (Edwin Hodge) to name on his dad. On the time, Hodge had the best of reward for Williams, saying that he was “completely good” and “popped onto set and he simply shined.”
Along with his return in Season 6, Most Wished arrange a fairly juicy storyline for the Cannon household when Ray Sr. found on the finish of final week’s episode that his life was on the road if he did not obtain emergency surgical procedure ASAP. After all, I wasn’t anticipating the present to select up proper the place it left off, however when final we noticed the household, Ray and Cora had been dashing to get his dad again to the hospital after getting this name from the elder Cannon’s nurse:
We want you to come back again to the hospital. A radiologist took a second take a look at your CT scan, and you’ve got an aortic aneurysm. If it strikes or bursts, you die actually any minute. We want you for surgical procedure instantly.
And because it occurred, the decision got here fairly unceremoniously in “68 Seconds.” When the brokers (not together with Ray) arrived on the scene to affix Remy, the SSA requested how Ray is doing, and Hana responded:
Good. His dad’s out of surgical procedure and anticipated to make a full restoration.
And that was it! Edwin Hodge did not even seem within the episode, not to mention Steven Williams as his father. In principle, this might effectively have been the top of FBI: Most Wished‘s storyline about Ray Sr.’s well being woes. I am inclined to suppose there’s extra story to inform, although, as he was already having steadiness points that led to his hospitalization within the first place. I would additionally questioned if he was having reminiscence points after Ray seemingly reminded him why Caleb wasn’t at dwelling final week.
There’s nonetheless potential on this storyline for Williams on the present, and I am notably hopeful after what director Milena Govich stated about working with him.
Excessive Reward For Steven Williams As Ray Sr.
As a fan of Steven Williams from his time because the enigmatic Mr. X on The X-Information, I used to be already predisposed to love him on FBI: Most Wished, though Mr. X and Ray Sr. may hardly be extra totally different. Since I loved his work going again to the ’90s, I needed to ask director Milena Govich throughout our current interview what it has been prefer to work with him as a recurring visitor star on the present. She shared:
Steven is unbelievable. He’s so charismatic, charming, humorous, and comes with such nice perspective. I’ve such respect for him. I really acquired to direct him on his very first episode of FBI: Most Wished again in Season 5. It was Episode 2 of Season 5 after we launched his character, in order that was plenty of enjoyable attending to dig in with him and determine what this relationship is that he has along with his son and their backstory, their historical past. It was an actual deal with to get to proceed to discover that dynamic.
FBI: Most Wished has actually given Steven Williams extra alternatives to be humorous and charming than The X-Information again within the day! X’s interactions with Agent Mulder had been brief on jokes, to say the least, and Ray Sr. is much more lovable. And as Milena Govich identified, his relationship along with his son is fairly relatable in Season 5:
I feel there’s plenty of us which can be on the market who can relate to having a guardian of the older era who thinks they are often doing stuff that they most likely should not be doing. [laughs] So it is a very relatable story and relationship.
For now, it is a ready sport to see if FBI: Most Wished will proceed Ray Sr.’s storyline in Season 5 after resolving the cliffhanger off display. The promo for the following episode, referred to as “Greek Tragedy” and airing on Tuesday, February 25 at 10 p.m. ET, not less than confirms that his son can be again quickly!
