SPOILER ALERT: The following contains spoilers for CIA Season 2, Episode 6.
CIA Season 2, Episode 6, “Legacy” mostly wraps up the CBS drama’s early storyline. Fans of the FBI spinoff have just been waiting for Felix Vincente to return to the show, and to get some answers about Bill Goodman’s father. So what should be a showcase episode for actor Nick Gehlfuss very much is, and it all comes together perfectly except for there having to be that one last plot twist.
“Legacy” has plenty of the two things CIA thrives on: action and moral grey areas. When Vincente resurfaces, the team utilizes his business associate to finally capture him, and then of course Bill must decide how far he’s willing to go in order to uncover the truth. Some portions of the plot are predictable; viewers can guess that Bob Goodman’s old partner Carl is a bad guy, and they won’t be surprised that Colin Glass’ renewed affair with his ex-partner Toni Napier affects him in the field. These are practically standard plot points in the TV drama world. However, there are other beats that are more creative, like exactly how the team makes Vincente’s partner think he’s turned on her, and extending the third-act chase sequence with not just one, but two fistfights between Vincente and Bill. Plus, Jubal Valentine makes another guest appearance, and it’s refreshing that he asserts himself with Nikki Reynard and isn’t just there to drop off some exposition. Jeremy Sisto is really the perfect actor to make these cameos feel actually memorable.
