Bombings in Queens. A potential gang war brewing. OA (Zeeko Zaki) getting a helpful nudge from an old Army buddy. It’s just another Tuesday for the New York FBI office, where the coffee is strong and the caseload is stronger.
This week, the team faces an enemy that isn’t your typical street-level thug, thanks to a tip from OA’s past. The sudden appearance of a formidable, unexpected antagonist suggests a departure from the usual procedural formula. One wonders if this new threat will offer more than just a case-of-the-week scenario. A recurring villain, perhaps? Or a storyline with some actual stakes?
Meanwhile, Scola’s (John Boyd) ongoing quest for a new partner continues. Will he find someone compatible, or are we destined for an entire season of awkward buddy-cop auditions? Let’s hope the writers give him more to do than just lament his solo status.
The potential for a citywide conflict seems promising, but it’s FBI, so expect a tidy resolution by the hour’s end. Still, the introduction of a more substantial adversary might just shake things up enough to keep us watching.
