Fans of FBI: Most Wanted and FBI will finally get an inside look at the lives of Special Agent Nina Chase and Special Agent Stuart Scola as parents to their baby, Dougie, in a crossover episode. Shantel VanSanten, who plays Nina on FBI: Most Wanted, describes the challenges of parenting with two working parents who are both in the FBI. The two-part crossover will explore Nina’s past and upbringing, as well as the impact on her role as a mother and her relationship with Scola.
The episode of FBI: Most Wanted, titled “Supply Chain,” will air on Tuesday, April 9, followed by a continuation episode on FBI on Tuesday, April 16. VanSanten explains that Nina’s character was originally supposed to lose the baby after getting a listeria infection during the season 5 finale of FBI. However, once Nina joined Most Wanted full time for season 5, the baby survived, leading to ups and downs in Nina and Dougie’s storyline.
Despite the move to Most Wanted, viewers have not had many glimpses into Nina’s life as a mother or her relationship with Scola. The current season of FBI has only hinted at how they are doing as a family. VanSanten reveals that jokes have been made on set about the whereabouts of baby Dougie, with some suggesting that he could be a roommate of another character on the show.
VanSanten expresses her excitement for fans to finally get a glimpse of Nina and Scola’s new normal in the upcoming crossover episode. She hopes that the payoff will be great for viewers who have been patiently waiting to see more of Nina and Scola’s family dynamic. The two-part crossover will air on CBS, with FBI: Most Wanted kicking off on Tuesday, April 9, and FBI continuing on Tuesday, April 16.
The crossovers between FBI: Most Wanted and FBI will give fans a deeper insight into the lives of Nina and Scola as parents, shedding light on their relationship dynamics and challenges of balancing a demanding job in the FBI with parenthood. VanSanten’s portrayal of Nina as a mother navigating her past and present issues will provide a more rounded view of the character, offering viewers a more personal connection to the FBI universe. The anticipation for the upcoming episodes and the resolution of loose ends surrounding Nina and Dougie’s storyline adds to the excitement for fans of both shows.
