SPOILER ALERT: The following reveals major plot points from tonight’s Season 5 premiere of CBS’ FBI: Most Wanted. FBI: Most Wanted made its big Season 5 debut tonight with the action-packed episode titled “Above & Beyond” featuring the newest member of the Fugitive Task Force: Shantel VanSanten as Special Agent Nina Chase.
As Deadline exclusively revealed in November, VanSanten joined the CBS spinoff following a recurring role in the mothership series FBI reprising the original character.

It is revealed early on that not only has Nina left maternity leave early to get back into action, but she doesn’t miss a beat working alongside Remy (Dylan McDermott), Hanna (Keisha Castle-Hughes), Ray (Edwin Hodge) and Sheryll (Roxy Sternberg).
