“Hitched” revolves around OA and Gemma taking a train ride to Niagara Falls, only to learn that there are hijackers aboard. Who the suspects are and what they want deviates enough from the norm to get CBS viewers invested — partially because the guest roles are played by two very familiar faces. With Zeeko Zaki in full-on action hero mode, the story comes together in an incredibly entertaining way.

FBI Season 7, Episode 14 Has Plenty of Dramatic Momentum

Any action-based plot like “Hitched” has to move quickly enough to keep the audience feeling just as rushed as the characters. An example of this principle was illustrated in the FBI Season 7 spring premiere “Descent,” which wanted fans to be on the edge of their seats worrying about hijacked planes, but never reached levels of tension high enough to create that fear. In shifting to a story about a hijacked train, FBI does much better. A large portion of this is due to the incredible talent of the actors involved, but the script by Mae Smith also unfolds fast enough and with enough changes to make the viewers constantly uncomfortable.
