Things we not looking good for Barnes and her family at the end of FBI: Most Wanted Season 5. Charlotte is ready to call time on their marriage, and she wants to move to another state with the kids.

The last we saw, Barnes was not going to entertain the idea of her kids going to another state. She can’t move out of New York, and nor does she want to. She also doesn’t think there is a need for the children to move.

What will we see happen for Barnes in FBI: Most Wanted Season 6? Could we end up losing another OG character?

Barnes is sure to put up a fight for her children in FBI: Most Wanted Season 6

We need to see Barnes put up a fight. While she is a workaholic, she is still a good mom. Her children love her, and she tries to be there for them every step of the way. Charlotte is the one with the problem, and it’s not like Charlotte is completely blame-free when it comes to the breakdown of this marriage.

While Barnes may not put up a fight for the marriage, I could see her putting up a fight for her kids. We could see a custody battle happen during the season, allowing a judge to figure out what is best for the kids. And that’s what it is about: the kids. It doesn’t matter what the parents want.

In a lot of cases, the judge will order that the kids aren’t moved out of state. This takes them away from family and friends. It takes them away from the network that has been set up for them. Can Charlotte guarantee that the move to another state is better for them outside of having better schools? Probably not.

The problem for Barnes is her job. She is away a lot more than Charlotte is, which could lead to Charlotte winning the custody battle. It would be interesting to see how all that plays out in the series.

Will Barnes leave the Fugitive Task Force in FBI: Most Wanted?

There is a way around all this, and that’s for Barnes to leave the current job she has. Could she move to the field office in another state to follow her children? This could end up being the case if Charlotte wins a custody battle.

While Roxy Sternberg hasn’t said anything about leaving FBI: Most Wanted, we’ve had some shock exits in the past. Look at Kellan Lutz, who didn’t say anything about leaving the series until after the Season 3 premiere. Julian McMahon’s exit was announced just weeks before his last episode. Nathanial Arcand’s exit wasn’t made official until in between Seasons 2 and 3, despite him not being in the last few episodes of Season 2 and fans wondering what was going on.

This series doesn’t have a good track record with casts announcing departures. It means we’re going to keep a close eye on the storylines. There’s usually a cast change between seasons, but this show needs to keep things a little more stable. It’s hard to connect with new characters, especially when they’re only around for a short period of time.
