2 weeks ago 6

The Fugitive Task Force will be back in action on Tuesday, January 28, when FBI: Most Wanted and the entire FBI franchise returns. The episode’s case takes them to Philadelphia, where they revisit a shameful act of violence that threatens to reoccur. According to the logline for FBI: Most Wanted Season 6, Episode 9, “Moving On,” the team pays the descendants of the perpetrators of the 1985 MOVE bombings a visit when they are implicated in deadly fires. CBS released some images from the midseason premiere episode, which finds the team trying to stop another catastrophe. Below is the official logline, which also teases a revisit of Nina’s (Shantel VanSanten) family dynamics as Tina (Hannah Adrian) seeks her help.

“The Fugitive Task Force investigates a series of deadly fires involving the descendants of those who caused the infamous 1985 MOVE bombing in Philadelphia. Meanwhile, Nina’s sister turns to her in a time of need.”

The Fugitive Task Force Tries to Stop History From Repeating Itself in ‘FBI: Most Wanted’ Season 6, Episode 9

In 1985, the Philadelphia Police Department dropped a bomb on the residence of the MOVE organization in an attempt to try and end a standoff between the two parties. MOVE was a Black liberation group that employed tactics, some deemed radical, to get their message out. To end the group once and for all, the police dropped a bomb on their residence, killing several people and displacing hundreds of families.

The current times have seen the resurgence of retrogressive ideas, and the episode teases another occurrence. It is unclear what the descendants of the perpetrators of the bombing are doing with the fires, but deadly fires are not used to boil water. The Fugitive Task Force is seen in the images above, involved in what seems to be a similar standoff with the occupants of a residential building in the neighborhood. When the situation escalates, they don’t drop a bomb, instead breaching with their weapons.

Meanwhile, Nina deals with some family issues when her sister needs help. Nina will be dealing with many personal issues in this episode and in FBI, where she appears to support Scola (John Boyd) during a tough day. It is unclear what Tina wants help with, but the sisters’ fraught relationship will cause some drama.

Tune in to CBS on Tuesday, January 28, to watch “Moving On,” written by D. Dona Le and directed by Jon Cassar. You can also catch up with past episodes on Paramount+ before new ones return.
