[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for FBI: Most Wanted Season 6 Episode 3 “White Buffalo.”] Nina’s ( Shantel VanSanten ) family visit does not go well in the latest FBI: Most Wanted . Her father Jackson (John Finn) and sister Tina (Hannah Adrian) come to town, meet her partner Scola ( FBI ‘s John Boyd ) and their son, and it all ends with a heartbreaking dinner.
First, Jackson has issues with sushi. Then he makes a remark about Scola thinking he’s too good to join them (he doesn’t) and Nina argues he barely knows him. He wonders when they’re getting married, and Nina reveals they’re not, they’re happy with how things are.
And then he comments on how she’s raising Dougie, not seeing anything wrong with how she grew up. But “everything was wrong with the way I grew up,” she tells him. “I couldn’t get away from home fast enough.
” He thinks he gave her a good life. “Keep telling yourself that. Keep telling yourself it was a great life, dad,” Nina says.
“I want a different life for my son and I am damned determined to give it to him.” Jackson decides to leave—his parting words to Nina that she’s going to ruin her son with the way she lives—and calls for Tink to go with him. Nina’s sister tries to make excuses for Jackson and says it will blow over, but Nina admits, “I’m okay if it doesn’t,” before Tink leaves her alone.
Below, VanSanten talks about that final scene, Nina and Scola’s decision about marriage, and more.
