CBS TV Schedule (Apr. 22-28): A plane crashes on Tracker, Three Rock is in trouble on Fire Country, and more!
By Sabrina Reed
It's a packed week on CBS. The network's entire primetime slate is new. That's exciting news for fans who've been waiting for the reruns to slowdown. We're kicking off the week with Abishola reconnecting with her brother, Ade, on Bob Hearts Abishola. The reunion is set in New York City as Dele is about to take a big step in life, his audition for Julliard.
Tuesday's can't miss episode is on FBI because the flagship is coming back to the storyline involving Maggie having custody of her friend's daughter. It was a heartbreaking death that put the girl in her care and, based on the episode synopsis, the way she's navigating having a child to look after has both OA and Isobel worried.
Fire Country fans will be happy to know that the series is back, and it's picking up where it left off--Three Rock is not in a good place. Rudy's escape has been met with extreme backlash and there have been calls for the camp to be closed. Buckle in because this storyline is going to be around for longer than this one episode.
As for Sunday, Tracker's case is all about a plane crash that sends Colter to the wilds of Idaho. He's in search of two adults who are friends with Reenie's father. They'd had a mysterious client onboard their flight and now they've gone missing. It's not looking good considering Colter discovers the plane crash landed and he must pick through what remains of it for clues.
