In the upcoming episode of FBI titled “Perfect,” airing Tuesday, December 3, the team confronts a chilling case that strikes close to home—a serial killer operating right in their backyard of New York City. When multiple bodies surface, a disturbing pattern emerges: each victim fits a specific physical profile.
This unsettling commonality becomes the team’s focal point as they race to identify and apprehend the culprit before they claim another life. But for Special Agent Maggie Bell, this case carries an added weight. As she grapples with the demands of the investigation, she also faces the ever-present challenge of balancing her high-stakes career with her responsibilities as Ella’s guardian. It’s a tightrope walk between professional duty and personal commitment, and “Perfect” looks to explore that delicate balance under intense pressure.
This episode feels like classic FBI — a case ripped from the headlines, amped up with primetime gloss, and ready-made for fans who tune in for cat-and-mouse thrills. And while the “serial killer with a type” trope isn’t exactly reinventing the wheel, it sets the stage for some potentially compelling procedural drama. Will the team crack the case before another life is lost? Will Maggie find a way to juggle her duties as an agent and a guardian without one compromising the other? “Perfect” is expected to check all those familiar boxes and it will likely provide a solid hour of escapism for viewers who like their crime dramas straightforward.
Don’t miss FBI “Perfect” airing Tuesday, December 3, 2024, at 8:00 PM ET/PT on CBS.
