[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for FBI Season 7 Episode 17 “Lineage.”]
Isobel (Alana De La Garza) isn’t going anyplace on FBI.
Earlier this season, Isobel shocked OA (Zeeko Zaki) with the reveal that she’d gotten married months in the past, and on this episode, we meet her husband, Phillip (Tom Cavanagh). Now that she’s hit her twentieth with the FBI, she’s beginning to consider retiring (since she will be able to with full advantages). However by the top of the episode, she realizes that her work isn’t completed but, with the daughter of against the law boss she’d been after for years taking on the household enterprise. And so as an alternative they toast “to the chase.”
Beneath, De La Garza reacts to the shock of Isobel’s marriage and teases what’s forward.
Nice episode, and I preferred seeing Isobel at house and completely happy!
Alana De La Garza: Thanks! Me too, it was enjoyable to play.
What was your response if you came upon that Isobel — shock! — is married?
I used to be positively stunned to search out out she had an entire and full private life. Studying the episode, I believed, “Wait… WHAT!??” [Laughs] Needed to reread that passage.
In only a couple scenes on this episode, we get an actual sense of Isobel and Phillip’s relationship. What’s it about him that he looks as if the appropriate individual for her and that she fell for him?
I feel Phillip is her calm. You recognize that feeling, when you’re fortunate sufficient, your marriage and household are your own home. Your companion is your finest buddy and largest help. That feeling of being at peace, secure, and cherished. I feel Isobel wants that maybe greater than something. The stress she has is big. And having that stability, particularly for her, can be extremely comforting.
Speak about working with Tom.
Tom was completely pretty, pleasant and simple simply as he comes throughout.
Is there anything arising with or about Isobel’s relationship with Phillip this season? If that’s the case, what are you able to preview? Or what would you wish to see explored there sooner or later?
Phillip will certainly come up in future episodes. There’s a vulnerability that comes with loving your loved ones and having them imply a lot. Because the SAC, Isobel feels that tremendously. She has a duty to guard the general public but in addition her coronary heart.
I feel it’s enjoyable to see Isobel’s softer facet and he brings that out. So simply having that storyline is nice. The stakes are even increased now.

What have you learnt or what have you ever provide you with for Isobel and Phillip’s relationship backstory which you can share since we haven’t gotten a lot?
Actually, it occurred so shortly I’m undecided of our backstory. All is but to be decided, in order that’s thrilling. I’d love to fulfill my women. [Laughs]
Isobel says that earlier than she met Phillip, her job was all the things. So if not for her marriage, what wouldn’t it have taken for her to even start to think about retiring?
I feel Isobel is a warrior. I feel her drive is so highly effective that she most likely would’ve by no means even thought of retiring earlier than Phillip. When you’ve youngsters and a household, your perspective modifications. What’s essential to you, what fulfills you turns into utterly completely different.
Jack was the one Isobel by no means thought she’d catch, now his daughter has stepped into that place. Will we see extra of that chase this season? What would you wish to see there?
I feel we haven’t seen the final of that storyline for certain. I feel it’s so enjoyable to discover storylines that carry by the season. Once we catch the nemesis, it turns into that rather more essential and pushed. I really like when the nice guys win. That’s what I at all times need.
