[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for FBI: Most Wanted Season 5 Episode 4 “Hollow.”]
FBI: Most Wished gave us two causes to wish to not watch what was enjoying out on the display with the most recent 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! Originally of the episode, Charlotte’s heading out of city for a trial, and the dialog turns to the anniversary Barnes missed on account of work. The 2 clearly have to 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 at nighttime. The youngsters are with Barnes’ mother, and they should discuss (by no means good phrases to listen to). Charlotte reveals, “I met somebody.” Wait, what?!
TV Insider spoke with Roxy Sternberg to search 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 discuss”—that’s not a superb factor.
Roxy Sternberg: Yeah, it was nearly jokey. That’s how I learn it. When somebody says we have to discuss, 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.
A tremendous factor concerning the present, superb and likewise type 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 type of dropped on me as a bomb, the identical manner 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 after 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, “Properly, I’m going to mattress now.” He stated, “Let’s communicate tomorrow.” And I’m like, “I’ve acquired a full day at work.” So it was this wrestle, and it’s a wrestle as effectively: How can I cease this from taking place within the script and in actual life?

You stated they’ll be engaged on it. Is there hope?
There may be hope. There’s at all times hope. I mentioned briefly what their plan was, and so they gave me ever so a bit little bit of one thing. I don’t like understanding an excessive amount of; I believe it throws me and it’d 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 manner, is a disgrace. I’d love in the future 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 may be hope.
Are we going to see Barnes leaning on anybody?
There’s a nice scene that’s developing in Episode 7—and I received’t let you know with who—however she finally ends up being in a bar with somebody, leaning on them, and that’s actually beautiful 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 actually 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 bit little bit of her pleasure or no matter it’s and really change into susceptible at work and open up and get recommendation. And he or she does get some recommendation, which is attention-grabbing recommendation, particularly given this individual’s marital standing. However she wants all the recommendation on the earth. I believe it’s additionally a brand new factor for her, having to shed some layers and having to change into susceptible. I don’t see her as probably the most susceptible character, which can be, I believe, why she’s on this predicament together with her spouse.
Is that this somebody from the crew?
It’s somebody from the crew, yeah.
What else is developing for Barnes? Something skilled? There have been all these modifications. Is she enthusiastic about, does she wish to stick with the fugitive process drive? Does she wish to do one thing totally different?
I believe she loves what she does. I believe she loves her place. I believe she’s liked it from the get-go, whether or not when she was working underneath Jess [Julian McMahon], now working underneath Remy [Dylan McDermott]. I don’t suppose she has any aspirations to maneuver on or to strive one thing totally different. I believe she’s at all times eager to develop, at all times eager to thrive and be one of the best that she will be able to, problem herself as at all times. However it’s attention-grabbing, how does somebody that’s attempting to save lots of their marriage deal with these two issues? One thing should give. And so let’s see whether or not there’s going to be her taking a bit little bit of time to try to repair stuff at house.
What concerning the circumstances? Do you suppose 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 unsuitable? What’s occurring with this world? The place do they get this creativeness from?” That was a reasonably darkish, disturbing episode.
Would you say the following episode’s case is extra common case-of-the-week kind in comparison with this darkness that we simply acquired?
The following one which we’re taking pictures, completely. I’d say it’s actually attention-grabbing. We discuss Africa, which is admittedly thrilling. I don’t suppose we do that usually sufficient. And there’s going to be fairly a number of totally different African characters, which is superb to have the ability to have on our present. And this one which we’re taking pictures 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 components. However [Episode 4] was, particularly with the organs, messy darkish, nearly you couldn’t imagine it within the second. Among the stuff that you just have been studying, and among the stuff that you just have been doing, it’s prefer it’s nearly borderline comedy. It’s so ridiculous. So terrible.
