Things are about to get intense in the latest episode of Alert: Missing Persons Unit as the MPU team faces one of their most emotionally charged missions yet. The Alert season 3 episode 8, titled “Carmen,” premieres Tuesday, May 13 (9:00–10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX — and it brings with it high stakes, familiar faces, and a dangerous undercover operation.
Kidnapping, Secrets, and a Desperate Rescue
When a seemingly routine missing persons case crosses the MPU’s desk, it quickly escalates into something far more dangerous. A customs broker vanishes, but it’s soon revealed she’s actually an undercover FBI informant. The twist? She’s been kidnapped and is being forced to smuggle a young girl across the border to reunite her with her criminal father.
What begins as a search-and-rescue becomes a race against time.
Jason Defies Orders – and Goes Undercover
After Jason (Scott Caan) and Mike (Ryan Broussard) uncover a tablet at the girl’s last known location, they begin to piece together a trail — but not without resistance. The FBI doesn’t want the MPU interfering, but Jason isn’t about to sit back.
In a bold move, Jason defies federal orders and dives headfirst into the case, going undercover himself to infiltrate the operation and protect both the informant and the child.
Lt. Gabrielle Bennett Returns!
Another big development fans won’t want to miss: Megalyn Echikunwoke returns as Lt. Gabrielle Bennett, bringing her sharp instincts and tough leadership back into the fold. Her dynamic with Jason and Nikki promises to add even more tension — and perhaps some friction — as they navigate this dangerous mission.
Expect Tension, Action, and Emotional Stakes
“Carmen” is shaping up to be one of the most suspenseful episodes of the season — filled with moral dilemmas, tense standoffs, and the emotional weight that comes with trying to save a child from a life on the run. With Jason going rogue and the FBI watching closely, the consequences could ripple beyond this case.
