Spoilers forward for Episode 17 of FBI: Most Needed Season 6 on CBS, known as “Intestine Job” and out there streaming subsequent day by way of a Paramount+ subscription.
FBI: Most Needed mixed its case of the week in “Intestine Job” with a mini crossover that introduced Alana De La Garza over from FBI as Isobel for a strong scene with Roxy Sternberg as Barnes. That a lot was secure to foretell forward of the episode on April 8 due to some unique early seems to be. What I did not see coming was a scene between Remy and the fleeing suspect of the week that felt straight out of one of the crucial well-known scenes between Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive.
And usually, I would be far more preoccupied by Barnes’ destiny after this episode than any moments that jogged my memory of a basic film from 1993, however FBI: Most Needed‘s cancellation signifies that I do not actually need to be anxious about dropping the agent on the finish of the 2025 TV schedule. It is taking place it doesn’t matter what!
Barnes Would possibly Be Leaving The Job Pressure
It was clear from the beginning that this could be a giant Barnes episode, with a scene displaying that her makes an attempt to maneuver on from her marriage failing and household shifting away weren’t working too nicely. In truth, she stepped away from a date to try to name her daughter. A later second revealed that the character is able to not less than contemplate making a significant change, as she acquired an alert for a job posting that might end in her staying with the FBI however relocating to Washington D.C. and dealing behind a desk. The itemizing learn:
The FBI is in search of certified candidates for the place of Job Pressure Supervisor based mostly out of FBI Headquarters (The Hoover Constructing) in Washington D.C. This place. operates throughout the Washington D.C. department of the Legal Investigative Division. This position will likely be liable for overseeing each Violent Crimes Job power within the northeast and would require you to coordinate investigative methods throughout corresponding discipline workplaces.
The deadline for functions was listed as finish of day on April 11, so Barnes should decide quickly if FBI: Most Needed is maintaining with actual time! The identify of the agent listed is Dennis Polanco, which I believe is an Easter egg nod to the present’s longtime hair division head of the identical identify. (Oh, the belongings you study once you Google names you see on TV!) You possibly can try the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it second for your self when the episode is out there streaming.
As I suspected after information broke that Alana De La Garza would make a visitor look on this episode, Barnes went to the SAC about doubtlessly leaving the Fugitive Job Pressure. Barnes did not commit to really making use of for the job and requested Isobel to maintain the dialog to herself in the interim, however she did get Isobel’s full help and the promise of a advice. There are many causes for Barnes to need the job, as it will take her nearer to her children and contain a promotion and pay increase. She appears to be prepared for a change.
And since Barnes is a favourite of mine in CBS’ FBI franchise, I usually can be torn between wanting an amazing ending for the character and never desirous to lose Roxy Sternberg’s character from the present. With Most Needed confirmed to finish after the present sixth season… nicely, that unhappy information not less than signifies that I can root for Barnes to take an amazing job that might take away her from Remy’s process power, and it has been a very long time coming. I used to be questioning when Barnes would get a promotion as far again this season as Episode 4!
So, as a substitute of worrying about dropping Barnes from Most Needed, I can simply hope for one of the best earlier than the ultimate credit roll for the final time in Could. And, in fact, I can rewatch the second with Remy that had me considering of The Fugitive.
Remy Channels Tommy Lee Jones In The Fugitive
The person who initially gave the impression to be the killer of the week was Carm, who had woken up with the bloody corpse of his spouse and no reminiscence of how they’d gotten into their positions. After a violent tussle that did not go nicely for both man, Carm trapped Remy in a series hyperlink cage, pointing the agent’s personal weapon at him however not pulling the set off.
That alone had me flashing again to Harrison Ford’s Dr. Richard Kimble pointing a gun at Tommy Lee Jones‘ US Marshal Sam Gerard within the 1993 movie, after which the Most Needed characters had this trade:
- Carm: “I did not kill Monica!”
- Remy: “You ran, so it is my job to chase you. In the event you’re actually harmless, belief the justice system and switch your self in.”
- Carm: No, since you put the cuffs on me, and so they’re by no means coming off. They pin my spouse’s homicide on me, and the actual killer goes free.
Name me loopy, however does not that come throughout as a simply wordier model of this iconic trade between Kimble and Gerard in The Fugitive?
- Kimble: “I did not kill me spouse!”
- Gerard: “I do not care!”
Totally different phrases however identical sentiment, should you ask me! In fact, the 2 scenes weren’t precisely the identical. Remy and Carm weren’t in a dam spillway whereas having their confrontation, and Richard Kimble did not study the reality concerning the one-armed man within the span of an hour of tv like Most Needed. Nonetheless, I can not assist however marvel if anyone else watched the episode and instantly flashed again to a soaking moist Tommy Lee Jones dropping an iconic line at Harrison Ford.
Hopefully FBI: Most Needed has extra juicy moments in retailer earlier than the ultimate credit roll. I am not less than assured that we’ll get to see how Barnes’ storyline with the job alternative performs out, and hopeful that it is a signal that she’ll get a contented ending within the collection finale. For now, maintain tuning in to CBS on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET for brand new episodes of FBI: Most Needed, following FBI: Worldwide at 9 p.m. ET and FBI – a.ok.a. Alana De La Garza’s ordinary present – at 8 p.m. ET.
