Why is 'FBI: International' Episode 12 not airing this week? Here's what to expect
Episode 11 of 'FBI: International' wasn't just another episode of the much-loved CBS police procedural drama. It was also a lesson in history as the episode took place in the self-declared country of Transnistria. Fans got to see a region that isn't spoken about enough otherwise and the writers spliced in just the right amount of facts in the dialogues to not make it a lecture that would put people to sleep.
Titled 'Chew Toy,' Episode 11 of 'FBI: International' saw the Fly team operate in the unstable region of Transnistria after an NYPD officer gets detained for aggravated assault. He's also accused of abusing his privileges regularly and of being a sexual predator. The officer, however, denies the accusations, claiming that he uncovered a prostitution and trafficking racket while monitoring Taliban activity in the region. This is the second time in Season 1 of 'FBI: International' that the team dealt with sex-related crimes after Episode 7. Whether the team can make the case or not forms the rest of the episode.
For those who missed the episode when it aired, here's the official synopsis: "When an NYPD officer is detained in Transnistria for aggravated assault, the Fly Team investigates his claims of having infiltrated a sex trafficking ring."

What can we expect from 'FBI: International' Episode 12?
Now that the synopsis is out, it looks like the episode comes at a time and age where misinformation is peaking in America as well as the rest of the world. It will be interesting to see how the writers have handled the issue and, hopefully, they take a logical approach instead of just outright demonizing it. Episode 11 ended with a familiar face resurfacing in Forrester's life and it also felt like he had some trauma and unkempt baggage. We could expect the episode to address these things as well. Speaking of romantic angles, fans are eager to find out if Kellett and Forrester decide to give their relationship another chance and so are we!
These are some expectations from our end. What do you think will happen in the next episode of 'FBI: International'? Let us know!
'FBI: International' airs Tuesdays at 9 pm ET on CBS.
