FBI season 8, episode 5 has a poignant subject, but the same problem

SPOILER ALERT: The following contains spoilers for FBI Season 8, Episode 5.

FBI Season 8, Episode 6 continues the education of new agent Eva Ramos, as well as the show’s attempt to ingratiate her with viewers. “Falsetto” is more successful at the former than the latter. But this doesn’t even necessarily feel like an Eva-centric episode, partly as it brings back a character who’s already irritated the audience once this season.FBI Season 5 Episode 8 Review: Into the Fire - TV Fanatic

The CBS series tells a relatively straightforward story of sex trafficking, just taking an understandably roundabout way to get there. The man stabbed to death in broad daylight owned a charter company used for said trafficking ring, which happens to revolve around a very important person in an Arab country. Audiences have seen the broad strokes of this story before; it’s another instance of the team’s search for justice being impeded by political interests.
