The latest episode of FBI: Most Wanted Season 6 Episode 6 is called “Pageantry,” and it puts the team in a case where murder and glitz come together. What starts out as a celebration of beauty from around the world turns into a dark investigation full of lies, rivalries, and deadly results.
FBI: Most Wanted Season 6 Episode 6 Recap
At the beginning of the episode, Agent Hana (Keisha Castle-Hughes) remembers watching the Miss Glamour Globe pageant again. This event brought together beauty queens from all over the world. Last year’s winner, Miss Philippines, was a close second to Miss Honduras. The moment of victory quickly turns into horror when Miss Honduras collapses on live TV, having been killed on purpose. What was the scary part? The sash she got when she won was laced with a nerve agent, which made her death a federal case.
Remy’s team is put in charge of solving the murder. They find themselves in the competitive world of beauty queens, where more than just titles are at stake. The investigation quickly reveals the tension between the contestants, each woman a potential suspect. Martinez, Miss Philippines, gets the first look. She is known for her strong confidence and the hard story of how she rose from a gang-infested neighborhood to pageant glory. The contestants are suspicious of her because of her past and her reputation for being cocky. Did she have a reason to kill the winner?
As the team digs deeper, they find out that Rosa was going to go to Manila with a friend from the pageant who used to have a lot of power in the competition. When this man was fired for sexual harassment, it made things more difficult for Rosa, who thought that his support would help her win. When the FBI stops Geraldo on the road, he says he was supposed to meet Rosa but found her missing when he got to the hotel lobby. As the police search her room, they find Rosa’s dead body, another victim of the same nerve agent.
As agents look at security footage and put together pieces of evidence, the investigation takes a new turn. The hotel’s surveillance doesn’t catch the killer entering Rosa’s floor, but it does catch her coming in through an employee entrance, which is a sign that someone from inside the hotel knew what they were doing. Remy (Dylan McDermott) finds a familiar face in the video and it’s the team’s big break.
As the investigation went on, the killer was found to be Annalise Neilson, who is also known as Miss Norway. Her real name was Harper Dower, but she was American and had taken on a Norwegian identity to compete in beauty pageants. Harper wasn’t like the other contestants; she was a skilled contract killer who worked for governments that were cruel. Miss Honduras was killed because she spoke out against her country’s dictatorial president. She was also responsible for the deaths of other people, including a Vietnamese businessman. Harper’s expensive clothes and other expensive purchases were paid for by the contracts she signed to kill people.
Harper’s past showed that he had a promising career as a lawyer that was ruined by a personal tragedy and a bad relationship with the notorious killer Adrian Dubois. Harper had been taught how to kill by Adrian, who turned her into a deadly weapon. Harper was supposed to go after the President of Venezuela next, but she said she turned down the job to work for the CIA instead, which was a surprise. Dubois had been hired to kill the president, so they needed her to stop him.
Remy’s team had to work quickly to stop Dubois’s plans. Because Harper knew more than most people, the FBI found Dubois’s partner and got the president out of harm’s way before it was too late. In a tense final fight, Dubois was cornered and gave up. He chose to go to jail instead of dying in a shootout. Harper was given to the CIA, though, and they planned to send her back into the field as a secret agent.
At the same time, Hana was going through a tough time because she broke up with Ethan after finding out he was abusing prescription drugs. Hana felt bad that she hadn’t seen the warning signs sooner, so she made the hard choice to put her own health first.
Fans were on the edge of their seats tonight because of how well the episode mixed suspense and personal drama. Harper’s fate is now in the hands of the CIA, and Dubois is in police custody. Remy’s team can take a short break, but only until the next case comes in.
