Wed Apr 02 01:40:00 UTC 2025: ## New Boss, New Chance: Jason’s Relationship with Chief Inspector Houston Shifts on Fox’s “Alert”

**Los Angeles, CA** – Fox’s “Alert: Missing Persons Unit” is set for a shake-up in its upcoming episode airing Tuesday, April 1st. The introduction of Malcolm-Jamal Warner as Chief Inspector Bill Houston marks a turning point in the dynamic between Houston and Detective Jason (Scott Caan).

Previously at odds due to Jason’s unconventional methods, the new Chief Inspector is shown reevaluating his opinion of the detective. A sneak peek reveals a surprising exchange where Houston suggests a fresh start, acknowledging his past negative perceptions of Jason. While Jason initially insists their relationship is fine, the preview hints at underlying tensions and a shift in Houston’s perspective. This change is seemingly prompted by witnessing the effectiveness of the MPU team’s unorthodox approach to solving cases. Houston, a former Army Captain, is characterized by his strict adherence to rules and structure, but he’s beginning to understand that sometimes rules need to be bent for success. He is poised to become a much-needed father figure for the team.

The episode, titled “Badge #41870,” also features a high-stakes missing person case involving MPU leader Nikki (Dania Ramirez). Nikki’s disappearance leads to the team uncovering a revenge plot orchestrated by a paroled criminal, Raina (Sharon Taylor), who was hired by Irish mob boss Charlie McGannon (Ian Tracey). The case underscores the urgency and unique challenges faced by the MPU.

“Alert: Missing Persons Unit” airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Fox.
