Where was Hana in FBI: Most Wanted season 6, episode 16?

We’re now used to members of the Fugitive Task Force MIA for an episode here and there. In FBI: Most Wanted season 6, episode 16, it was Hana’s turn to be missing. We got an update early on in the episode, though.

In recent episodes, Hana has had some big storylines. One of the most recent was when she and her boyfriend Ethan were held hostage at the VA hospital. She was able to get a message to her team, but they could have done with her working with them to save her!

FBI: Most Wanted season 6, episode 16 starts off with Nina checking on where Hana is, with Barnes giving the update. It was a quick moment, so you’d be forgiven if you missed it.

Why wasn’t Hana working the case in FBI: Most Wanted season 6, episode 16?

While Hana could have certainly been useful in the case to crack the cypher, she was needed elsewhere. Barnes explained that Hana was with Ethan right now. He needed support after recovering from his time at the VA hospital — not the hostage situation, but the reason he was there in the first place.

The two reconciled at the end of the episode, after Hana wasn’t sure what to do about her relationship when she found out that Ethan had an addiction to prescription drugs. However, the near-death experience helped both of them realize that they were right for each other.

Barnes and Nina discussed this in the latest episode. Is there hope for the two of them? Barnes doesn’t know, but she thinks there might be. Either way, Hana is doing what’s right for her for now.

“Clean House” – The Fugitive Task Force searches for a missing migrant teen they believe was lured into unlawful work by a dangerous man. Also, Remy learns of a previously undisclosed witness in his brother’s murder case, on the CBS Original series FBI: MOST WANTED, Tuesday, May 16 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

Why wasn’t Keisha Castle-Hughes in the FBI: Most Wanted episode?

We knew going into this season that we wouldn’t see all members of the Fugitive Task Force in every episode. This was a way to reduce the costs of the show, and each member of the cast has to take turns sitting out an episode. This one was Keisha Castle-Hughes’s turn.

She’s sure to be back in the next episode. Plus, with the FBI: Most Wanted season 6 finale (now series finale) on its way, she’s sure to show up more often to help bring closure to the character.

FBI: Most Wanted airs on Tuesdays at 10/9c on CBS. Catch up the following day on Paramount+.
