Warning: Spoilers ahead for FBI: Most Wanted season 6, episode 16, titled “Toxic Behavior.”
The Future of Remy Scott After FBI: Most Wanted Cancellation
As fans process the recent cancellation of FBI: Most Wanted, they can take solace in the fact that season 6, episode 16 offers a hopeful conclusion for the character Remy Scott. The abrupt end of this FBI spinoff has sparked widespread discussion, especially given CBS’s decision not only to cancel existing series but also to announce a new one. Opinions are divided among viewers, with some expressing regret over the loss of Most Wanted while wishing the flagship series had been canceled instead. Many fans, however, are particularly disheartened about the absence of a seventh season for Most Wanted.
Interestingly, the cancellation of a planned FBI: CIA backdoor pilot, which was intended to air within the flagship series, emphasizes CBS’s commitment to its current lineup. This shift is notably evident in “Toxic Behavior,”which thoughtfully outlines Remy’s new path following the series’ conclusion.
Remy Scott’s New Venture: The Dive Bar
A Connection to His New York Roots
In “Toxic Behavior,”Remy reaches out to his long-distance partner, Abby, early one morning. During their conversation, they reminisce about a recent trip to Tuscany, inspired by a couple they met who owned a villa. This sparks an idea in Remy about creating a similar future with Abby. However, the urgency of FBI business soon interrupts their sentimental moment.
Towards the episode’s conclusion, Remy introduces Abby to a local dive bar owned by his friend Blake. He displays a sense of belonging as he enters the establishment unceremoniously and gets the jukebox to play music. Although Abby initially feels uneasy about Remy’s casual demeanor, he reveals that he has invested in Blake’s bar and intends to play an active role in revitalizing it. Furthermore, he hopes for Abby to join him in this endeavor, allowing them to pursue their dream lifestyle in New York without relocating.
Remy’s Bar: The Ideal Post-FBI Career Move
Facilitating Settling Down with Abby
The storyline weaving Dylan McDermott’s absences into the plot creatively solidifies Remy’s eventual retirement as a sensible conclusion for the series. Both Remy and Abby have always faced the challenge of managing their respective careers and their relationship across distances. Their sacrifices, now highlighted in the context of his new venture, showcase their commitment to each other, while allowing them to segue into a quieter, more settled life together.
With Remy moving away from the high-stakes demands of the FBI, Abby can rest easy knowing he’s in a safer environment without the constant worry of his safety.
New York: A Hub for Future Crossovers
Paving the Way for Appearances in Other FBI Shows
A significant concern regarding Remy transitioning to civilian life is the potential for future cameo appearances. Fans, including cast members like Zeeko Zaki, are hopeful that characters from canceled shows such as FBI: Most Wanted can still make appearances in the franchise. Given Remy’s base in New York, it would be quite feasible for him to interact with other agents, whether in his bar or as part of a new case.
While Remy may find his happy future in a dive bar, this doesn’t have to mark his permanent exit from the franchise. The rich narrative fabric of FBI: Most Wanted leaves ample room for crossovers and updated narratives that can keep fans engaged. Continuously checking in on Remy’s journey and confirming his successful transition could provide valuable closure to dedicated viewers.
