Warning: spoilers are forward for Episode 7 of CBS’ FBI Season 7, known as “Monumental” and set to stream subsequent day with a Paramount+ subscription.
FBI solely has one episode left earlier than the tip of its run within the 2024 TV schedule, and the upcoming fall finale goes to be a trip for OA particularly. Between the promo that aired on the finish of “Monumental” on CBS and the community’s episode description, evidently Zeeko Zaki‘s character will want all the assistance he can get. And since “Monumental” was additionally Jubal‘s return from his suspension, I’ve to marvel: will OA be capable of keep away from making the identical mistake that Jubal did when a case acquired private?
As a refresher, in case you forgot how Jubal ended up in sizzling water earlier this fall: he acquired suspended again within the fifth episode of the season after his son Tyler was detained by the NYPD as a part of a protest at – the place else? – Hudson College, a.okay.a. probably the most harmful campus within the nine-show Dick Wolf TV universe. Jubal leaned on a beat cop to let Tyler go, however phrase of what he’d completed labored its method as much as the NYPD brass, who spilled the information to Isobel. She was not completely happy about what her ASAC had completed, to say the least, and she or he reported him to OPR and suspended him.
Effectively, Jubal’s suspension was over by “Monumental,” and Isobel made it clear to him that she was glad to have him again, and he did appear chastened by being pressured off the job for a while. It stays to be seen if that’ll stick if/when his private life overlaps with work once more because the present continues, however thus far, so good.
Nonetheless, the reminder of Jubal’s suspension adopted by the promo of what is in retailer for OA within the final episode earlier than the 2025 TV schedule begins has me crossing my fingers that he will not make the identical errors. Check out the teaser for the autumn finale, known as “Riptide,” beneath:
Watch On
Chicago Med alum Man Lockard is returning to FBI as OA’s outdated military buddy Clay for the primary time since Episode 3 of Season 7, when it was already clear that he is perhaps very unhealthy information for OA. Maggie did what she may to speak some sense into her associate as soon as she came upon what was occurring.
On the time, I might felt that Clay had agreed to OA’s CI deal somewhat bit too simply for that to be the tip of the story, and that seems to be the case. The episode description from CBS sheds a bit extra gentle:
After three customs officers are shot lifeless in a cargo heist, the staff entrusts OA’s outdated military buddy Clay to assist decide if it was an inside job.
For OA’s sake, I hope that the staff is true to entrust Clay with no matter they provide him… and I hope he would not vouch for Clay just for Clay to betray him. I do not actually see OA crossing a line for private causes fairly like Jubal did to get him in suspension-worthy hassle with Isobel, but it surely would not seem like a straightforward episode for him.
In fact, just about all the foremost characters let their particular person lives bleed over into their work at one level or different; the distinction in Season 7 appears to be the implications they face from Isobel. Tune in to CBS on Tuesday, December 17 at 8 p.m. ET for the autumn finale of FBI, adopted by FBI: Worldwide at 9 p.m. ET and FBI: Most Needed at 10 p.m. ET. You may as well revisit episodes from the present seasons streaming on Paramount+.
