[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for FBI: Most Wanted Season 5 Episode 4 “Hollow.”]
FBI: Most Wished gave us two causes to need to not watch what was enjoying out on the display with the newest episode: what the serial killer was doing with the organs he took from his victims (sure, consuming them) and what awaited Barnes (Roxy Sternberg) when she acquired house.
Certain, the latter wasn’t bloody or tragic, however contemplating we love Barnes and her spouse Charlotte (Fedna Jacquet) collectively, it wasn’t good! In the beginning of the episode, Charlotte’s heading out of city for a trial, and the dialog turns to the anniversary Barnes missed resulting from work. The 2 clearly must reconnect, however then a name a couple of case is available in. As Barnes sees it, it’s the life they selected. Charlotte doesn’t precisely agree. Then, when Barnes will get house, she finds Charlotte ready in the dead of night. The youngsters are with Barnes’ mother, and they should speak (by no means good phrases to listen to). Charlotte reveals, “I met somebody.” Wait, what?!
TV Insider spoke with Roxy Sternberg to seek out out the place that leaves Barnes and Charlotte’s marriage.
That ending was so heartbreaking. Barnes was fully blindsided when Charlotte’s like, I met somebody. However saying “we have to speak”—that’s not factor.
Roxy Sternberg: Yeah, it was nearly jokey. That’s how I learn it. When somebody says we have to speak, it’s like, oh God. However then she drops it.
How is Barnes going to have the ability to course of that? She was under no circumstances ready for that.
I believe there are such a lot of totally different feelings that you just’ll expertise directly. There’s denial, there’s anger. You undergo the entire array of feelings. They’re going to try to work on it and see what occurs.
An incredible factor in regards to the present, superb and in addition form of loopy, is that we solely get our episodes an episode earlier than we shoot them. So I don’t have a lot time to go over it to course of it, to debate it. In order that was form of dropped on me as a bomb, the identical method it was dropped on Barnes as a bomb. I used to be like, “No, how a lot room is there to vary this?” I cried once I learn it, and I wished to name up David Hudgins, our showrunner, and see why. And I couldn’t pay money for him, which was so irritating. He was like, “Let’s communicate later. I’m in a gathering.” And I used to be like, “Nicely, I’m going to mattress now.” He mentioned, “Let’s communicate tomorrow.” And I’m like, “I’ve acquired a full day at work.” So it was this battle, and it’s a battle as effectively: How can I cease this from taking place within the script and in actual life?

You mentioned they’ll be engaged on it. Is there hope?
There’s hope. There’s at all times hope. I mentioned briefly what their plan was, and so they gave me ever so a little bit little bit of one thing. I don’t like figuring out an excessive amount of; I believe it throws me and it would have an effect on my efficiency. That’s why it’s so actual. We don’t have months and months and months to rehearse these things, which, in a method, is a disgrace. I might love at some point to expertise that in movie the place you’ve acquired a lot time to play with it. We don’t have a lot time to play with it, however I really feel like it’s actual. We’re studying stuff, after which we’re delivering it nearly instantly. I believe there’s at all times going to be hope. I hope there’s hope.
Are we going to see Barnes leaning on anybody?
There’s a nice scene that’s arising in Episode 7—and I received’t inform you with who—however she finally ends up being in a bar with somebody, leaning on them, and that’s actually pretty scene. I actually loved that. It’s actually enjoyable and really totally different.
How is that for her to be speaking about this? Due to the character of those circumstances, there’s not a lot time to essentially discuss private stuff. It briefly comes up on this episode whereas they’re working.
No, however I believe as a result of she’s so enthralled and so full-on in her work, the one place and the one time she actually has to speak to anybody about it’s as soon as she’s at work. And so I believe she’s having to shed some layers and lose a little bit little bit of her delight or no matter it’s and truly turn into weak at work and open up and get recommendation. And he or she does get some recommendation, which is attention-grabbing recommendation, particularly given this particular person’s marital standing. However she wants all the recommendation on this planet. I believe it’s additionally a brand new factor for her, having to shed some layers and having to turn into weak. I don’t see her as probably the most weak character, which can be, I believe, why she’s on this predicament along with her spouse.
Is that this somebody from the workforce?
It’s somebody from the workforce, yeah.
What else is arising for Barnes? Something skilled? There have been all these adjustments. Is she serious about, does she need to stick with the fugitive job power? Does she need to do one thing totally different?
I believe she loves what she does. I believe she loves her place. I believe she’s cherished it from the get-go, whether or not when she was working below Jess [Julian McMahon], now working below Remy [Dylan McDermott]. I don’t assume she has any aspirations to maneuver on or to attempt one thing totally different. I believe she’s at all times eager to develop, at all times eager to thrive and be the very best that she will, problem herself as at all times. However it’s attention-grabbing, how does somebody that’s attempting to avoid wasting their marriage give attention to these two issues? One thing should give. And so let’s see whether or not there’s going to be her taking a little bit little bit of time to try to repair stuff at house.
What in regards to the circumstances? Do you assume something goes to beat what the man was doing with the organs on this one? As a result of that was…
That was darkish. Studying that, I used to be like, “These writers, what’s mistaken? What’s occurring with this world? The place do they get this creativeness from?” That was a fairly darkish, disturbing episode.
Would you say the subsequent episode’s case is extra common case-of-the-week sort in comparison with this darkness that we simply acquired?
The subsequent one which we’re capturing, completely. I might say it’s actually attention-grabbing. We discuss Africa, which is absolutely thrilling. I don’t assume we do that always sufficient. And there’s going to be fairly just a few totally different African characters, which is superb to have the ability to have on our present. And this one which we’re capturing proper now, this can be a heavy one for Nina’s [Shantel VanSanten] character. Oh, this one’s fairly darkish. I imply, they’re all darkish. The present’s fairly darkish. All of them have their darkish parts. However [Episode 4] was, particularly with the organs, messy darkish, nearly you couldn’t consider it within the second. Among the stuff that you just have been studying, and a few of the stuff that you just have been doing, it’s prefer it’s nearly borderline comedy. It’s so ridiculous. So terrible.
