Spoilers are forward for Episode 10 of FBI Season 7 on CBS, known as “Redoubt” and obtainable streaming with a Paramount+ subscription.
FBI returned within the 2025 TV schedule to place Scola by means of the emotional wringer in final week’s winter premiere, however it was Jubal’s flip in “Redoubt.” The case of the week was private for Jeremy Sisto’s character not simply because his longtime prison informant was within the combine, but in addition as a result of that CI ended up in his residence and interacting with Sam. It was a scare that might have ended with Jubal leaving the household residence once more, however his ex-wife had one thing else in thoughts after seeing how a lot he’d grown. The 2 kissed within the remaining moments of “Redoubt,” and Sisto opened up about Season 7 getting again on monitor for the ASAC.
Jubal-centric episodes usually contain the character both paying for his previous actions drunk or wracked by guilt for one purpose or different, so I used to be ready for Sam to ask Jubal to maneuver out after his CI had proven up at their home out of nowhere. Jubal was anticipating that as nicely, however Sam acknowledged how he’d stepped up for the youngsters ever since transferring again in, and he was a modified man. Jubal went from pondering that he was shedding his place on the sofa to sharing a kiss with Sam.
So, did Jubal initially wish to transfer out for his household’s security, or did he simply assume that is what Sam needed? Jeremy Sisto addressed that very query from CinemaBlend, saying:
He had been working for therefore lengthy to get again in with Sam, and he felt like they had been heading in the right direction, however he additionally was nicely conscious of her hesitation, all of the ache he triggered her prior to now, and it simply appeared prefer it was very potential this could’ve been the impetus for the door to shut once more, and he didn’t wish to make it troublesome for Sam to make that selection, if that was the selection she needed to make.

For him, there’s at all times going to be some hazard due to the job, so he has accepted that whereas additionally accepting that any potential companions even have a selection to just accept it or not.
Contemplating that his final companion really did die whereas they had been in a relationship, it is a signal of Jubal’s development that he has accepted that his potential companions get to decide on about what hazard they will permit of their lives. Fortuitously for Jubal, Sam determined that having him round was well worth the danger.
And whereas Jubal was fast to reply, he clearly wasn’t anticipating Sam to lean in on him on the finish of “Redoubt.” It stays to be seen if that is actually the previous spouses restarting their relationship, baggage and all, however how prepared is Jubal for that to occur? In accordance with Jeremy Sisto, he believes he is all-in even when crusing isn’t easy for too lengthy on FBI. He mentioned:
He believes he’s very prepared. However, in fact, there are going to be challenges. I imply, I think about there will probably be. Or perhaps it’ll be easy crusing. Onerous to say. We’ll simply have to attend and see I suppose.
No matter challenges are on the way in which for Jubal, hopefully he catches a break from the demons of his previous coming again to hang-out him! Even in “Redoubt,” he realized that his CI needed to cowl for him in the course of the top – or lowest level, relying in your perspective – of his consuming on the job.
He did have Isobel’s unwavering assist, although, together with when he wanted to take his conversations together with his CI off the report within the interrogation room. Jeremy Sisto, who labored with Alana De La Garza again of their Legislation & Order days to potential complicate an FBI/Legislation & Order crossover, weighed in on Jubal and Isobel’s relationship in spite of everything these years:
Jubal loves working for Isobel. He completely respects how she makes selections, her willingness to at instances make questionable selections primarily based on long-term targets of a case. He’s realized a lot from her about caring for the people who work beneath her, whereas additionally demanding the very best out of them. They work rather well collectively, Jubal and Isobel. It could be straightforward for these two positions to step on one another, however Jubal is at all times able to go the reins when Isobel must step in, and Isobel respects the sort of power Jubal leads the staff with. Although it’s primarily knowledgeable relationship, in some methods there may be as a lot intimacy as there may be between relations.
For higher or worse, Jubal appears to be getting a break from the recent seat within the subsequent new episode, known as “Shelter,” in the case of his private life.
