Caution: This post contains SPOILERS for the FBI: Most Wanted season 6 finale.The FBI: Most Wanted series finale mostly focused on a difficult case for the team, which involved drive-by shootings and traitors. However, the episode did manage to wrap most of the arcs up for the main characters, with Sheryll Barnes (Roxy Sternberg) getting the promotion she has long deserved. As much as I expected her to get the promotion, I’m still conflicted by how the FBI: Most Wanted season 6 finale ended.
