SPOILER ALERT: The following reveals major plot points from the FBI: Most Wanted series finale.
Tonight’s episode of CBS‘ FBI: Most Wanted was an action-packed farewell for the series, wrapping up its six-season run following the show’s shocking cancellation announced in March.
The episode “The Circle Game” opens with Nina Chase (Shantel VanSanten) having a heart-to-heart with her father, with whom she has reunited after sending off her sister to start a new life in Dallas away from her useless husband. Nina is eager to get to the airport, but her father insists on sharing some things he wants to get off his chest.
First, he apologizes for not being such a great father to her, but focuses more on complimenting all the wonderful qualities he sees in her.
“You are an amazing woman,” Nina’s dad said. “You’re a caretaker, so damn resiliant, you do things the way you want to do them and that’s what I really admire. “If you want to raise a family without being married, who am I to judge? You’re a hell of a lot better at it than I ever was, that’s for sure. You know when I’m happiest? When someone asks me what you do, I say, ‘My daughter is an FBI Agent with the Fugitive Task Force in New York City. My heart just swells. Nina, I’m so damn proud of you.”
He follows that up with an apology for never having shared his feelings with her like this before. They embrace and cry before her dad drives her to the airport.
