WARNING! SPOILERS ahead for FBI: Most Wanted season 6, episode 22, “Circle Game.”

The final episode of season 6 for the show “FBI: Most Wanted,” entitled “Circle Game,” concluded in a satisfactory way, even though some character conclusions were somewhat expected. Despite maintaining relatively good ratings, CBS chose to discontinue the series, sparking discussions about its potential finale. Lately, the episodes haven’t offered many hints regarding the final outcome.

Despite the fact that everyone knew for months that FBI: Most Wanted was among the CBS shows canceled in 2025, it was still a difficult task to bring the series to a close. As the show had to keep presenting weekly cases while simultaneously heading towards its conclusion, it is not surprising that “Circle Game” primarily focused on its final case, making it appear like any other episode of the series until the last few minutes.

An Intense But Convoluted Case Set Up Remy’s Perfect Ending

The Case Turned Into A Conspiracy By Bad Actors In The Government

The episodes of FBI: Most Wanted can sometimes be unpredictable; the technical aspects of the series aren’t always captivating. But the overall storyline was thrilling, engaging, and relevant. It centered around renegade elements within a fictitious government agency responsible for reviewing other departments and reducing costs, drawing parallels to real-world situations. This complex case, though convoluted at times, proved intriguing as it unfolded from a shooting at a demonstration into a web of conspiracy involving three individuals, two of whom met their end by the story’s conclusion.

The case also played a dual role: it facilitated Remy’s (Dylan McDermott) decision to leave the FBI and provided a fitting conclusion. This decision, though expected in hindsight, seemed ideal as it allowed Sheryll (Roxy Sternberg) to take over his position, which ultimately transpired. However, throughout the season, there were few hints suggesting that Remy was contemplating retirement, so the final case had to serve two functions to justify this decision logically.

In summary, during the last episode, Remy had an opportunity to add some concluding remarks that underlined the main objective of the procedural. Interestingly, just before engaging in the climactic battle with the remaining villain, he declared, “This is why we put ourselves through what we do“. The confrontation was intense, as the criminal showed no remorse for injuring a church elder, whereas Remy expressed his intention to enjoy taking down the culprit because he considered him a “despicable traitor to the nation I am honored to protect“.

The Final Party Was The Perfect Way To Wrap Up The Series

Remy Got To Honor His Team And Vice Versa

As I stood amidst the festivities of Remy’s birthday bash, it struck me that this wasn’t just a celebration, but the dawning of a fresh era in his life. Little did we know, he had already decided to hang up his FBI badge, a move that made perfect sense considering Barnes taking charge of the Fugitive Task Force instead of transferring to D.C. The party also marked the inauguration of Remy’s new restaurant venture with his girlfriend. While he could have juggled both roles, it was still a significant shift, one that would have been momentous even without his retirement from the Bureau.

Every Team Member’s Fate In FBI: Most Wanted
Character	Fate
Remy Scott (Dylan McDermott)	Retires from the FBI
Sheryll Barnes (Roxy Sternberg)	Becomes new leader of the Fugitive Task Force
Hana Gibson (Keisha Castle-Hughes)	Moves in with Ethan after he completes rehab
Nina Chase (Shantel Van Santen)	Continues working for the Fugitive Task Force
Ray Cooper (Edwin Hughes)	Has a baby with Cora

As a film enthusiast, I appreciated the added depth when Remy raised a toast to each team member following his announcement. It was intriguing to catch glimpses of their future lives too. However, the ending for Hana (Keisha Castle-Hughes) fell a bit flat for me, as her relationship with Ethan didn’t seem engaging enough to hold much significance. Yet, the series managed to compensate by having Remy express that if he were to have a daughter, he’d want her to emulate Hana.

Nothing About The Finale Was a Permanent Ending

The Episode Would Have Worked Fine As A Season Finale, Too

From a devoted fan’s perspective, the finale did a great job wrapping things up neatly, but it didn’t introduce any major twists (except for Remy deciding to call it a career). If another network were to take over FBI: Most Wanted for season 7, the show could carry on (though without Remy). However, given that it’s unlikely another network will rescue FBI: Most Wanted, this finale seems to be bringing the tales of the Fugitive Task Force to a close. Yet, even though there was room for more stories after this ending, I still found it fitting and satisfactory.

Many of the characters might make sporadic appearances on FBI now since FBI: Most Wanted has concluded its episodes. Although it’s regrettable that this series had to come to an end, it managed to wrap up with a powerful finale, ensuring a favorable impact on viewers.
