The Japanese police force only allowed one Fly Team member to go to Tokyo, so it will be interesting to see how Wes navigates being on the field alone in a foreign country. Some surprises are teased in the video below as Wes and Reiko (Yoriko Haraguchi) find their suspect’s lair and they unearth even more victims, significantly increasing the number they had previously thought was thirteen. Much about the unsub is unknown, but given the episode’s name, he’s probably a white male in his 50s or 60s. Gaijin is the name Japanese people use to refer to foreigners, and it might explain why the killer has flown under the radar for this long while continuing to commit murder and recruit successors.
‘FBI: International’ Ends Next Week
“Gaijin” is the show’s final episode following an untimely cancellation. The episode will wrap up the characters’ stories as some pursue other opportunities while others try new things. CBS won’t feature a three-hour FBI-verse block for the first time in four years since FBI: Most Wanted was also cancelled. However, a new spinoff, CIA, will now air alongside the flagship series when the season begins this fall. “It’s not easy to end shows, and we had a lot of options this year,” CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach said when addressing the cancellations. She explained:
“The schedule is really full and so we always have to look at all of our shows, look at the aggregate information, the creative of where they are in their life cycle, what the finances look like, what the ratings are, and then we make those tough decisions. . . . . We have to be fiscally responsible and ultimately, those deals and the shows just weren’t penciling out for us from an economic perspective.”
