This Tuesday’s “FBI” throws Special Agent Maggie Bell a curveball she likely never saw coming. In “Acolyte,” Maggie finds herself needing to collaborate with a ghost from her past: Ray Distefano, a serial killer she personally put away. Talk about awkward.
The reason for this uneasy reunion? A copycat killer is on the loose, terrorizing New York City. With the body count rising, the team is under pressure to stop the murders before they escalate further. And it seems that Distefano holds a key to understanding the copycat’s methods, forcing Maggie to confront her past and delve into the twisted mind of a murderer.
Written by Bryce Ahart & Stephanie McFarlane and directed by Loren Yaconelli, “Acolyte” looks set to be a tense, psychologically driven episode. How far is Maggie willing to go to catch a killer? Can she trust Distefano, even with her career and the safety of the city on the line? The episode airs Tuesday, March 18th at 8:00 PM ET/PT on CBS.
“Acolyte” will be available for streaming on Paramount+ and can also be viewed live and on demand by Showtime subscribers. Paramount+ Essential subscribers can access the episode the following day.
