The Fugitive Task Force is about to confront a case steeped in history and controversy in the next episode of FBI: Most Wanted. “Moving On” takes the team to Philadelphia, where a series of deadly fires seems to have a direct link to the infamous 1985 MOVE bombing. For those unfamiliar, the MOVE bombing remains a dark chapter in the city’s history, stemming from a standoff between police and the radical MOVE organization. The incident resulted in the deaths of eleven people and the destruction of an entire city block.

As the team investigates these new fires, they’ll have to wade through the complicated legacy of the bombing, separating fact from fiction and confronting the lingering resentments that still simmer beneath the surface. It’s a case that will test their investigative skills and their ability to navigate the sensitivities surrounding a historical tragedy. Adding a personal dimension to the procedural element, Special Agent Nina Chase will receive a call for help from her sister, who is facing her own personal crisis. This storyline should provide some additional insight into Nina’s character, demonstrating how even the most hardened investigators are still susceptible to family drama.
