Spoilers forward for Episode 17 of FBI Season 7 on CBS, referred to as “Lineage” and out there streaming subsequent with a Paramount+ subscription.
After the earlier episode of FBI took the time to efficiently introduce Tiff‘s alternative, the most recent installment within the 2025 TV schedule shifted the highlight over to Isobel and a giant choice she needed to make. Between the case of the week and its timing, “Lineage” in the end gave the staff’s SAC legitimate causes to give up, and the introduction of The Flash alum Tom Cavanagh as Isobel’s new husband actually appeared prefer it might be setting Alana De La Garza up for an exit. Fortuitously, I do not assume we now have to fret about her leaving any time quickly.
Isobel revealed early in “Lineage” that she had reached the 20-year milestone on the FBI, which meant that she might retire with full advantages. Her husband Philip was fast to help the concept when she floated it, and the celebs even appeared to align on the job when the homicide case of the week led again to a Most Wished prison who Isobel had been desirous to nail for a few years. The staff in the end closed the case, though Jack Grippo died earlier than he might be delivered to justice via the system.
That did not imply Isobel might simply shut the e book on the case, although, and never simply because Jubal appeared incredulous when she even talked about hitting her 20. The staff discovered on the finish of the episode that Billie, Grippo’s daughter, had outmaneuvered all of them and was now ready of energy inside a prison enterprise. So, it wasn’t a lot a case of closing the e book on the Grippo crime household as ending a chapter and beginning the subsequent. Nonetheless, who might have blamed Isobel for pondering the time was proper to depart the job behind?
Properly, Isobel went residence and opened as much as her husband concerning the demise of her white whale, together with that “someone else took his place, somebody new to chase.” The work by no means ends, and Philip did not get upset that his goals of each of them being retired collectively had been dashed. He simply mentioned, “You determine when your half within the work is completed,” and he or she determined that she’s “not completed.” Not but.
Not solely does it appear that Alana De La Garza is not going wherever as Isobel after the SAC’s wide selection, however FBI formally established Tom Cavanagh’s Philip as someone I might like to see extra of. Relationships do not at all times go swimmingly within the three-show FBI world (though that can quickly be reduce down to at least one present). For instance, OA‘s romance with Gemma even appeared obstacle-free in Season 7, till their romantic journey was fairly actually hijacked and he or she was shot! Nonetheless, Philip appears to be a fairly nice husband to Isobel, and it would be nice to get occasional check-ins on their residence life.
For now, the one factor we are able to rely on is that Isobel is not planning on leaving her work as SAC, and that is sufficient to rejoice forward of one other two seasons of FBI. Preserve tuning in to CBS on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET for brand spanking new episodes of Season 7, forward of the remaining episodes of FBI: Worldwide‘s closing season at 9 p.m. ET and what’s left of FBI: Most Wished‘s closing season at 10 p.m. ET.
