Spoilers forward for Episode 17 of FBI: Worldwide Season 4 on CBS, referred to as “Useless Useless” and streaming subsequent day with a Paramount+ subscription.
FBI: Worldwide introduced again none aside from Jay Hayden for the newest episode of the 2025 TV schedule, with Agent Tyler Sales space turning up on behalf of the Extraterritorial Squad out of the Washington Discipline Workplace to group up with the Fly Group once more. Regardless of Wes cracking some jokes in regards to the company caring with house aliens (and regardless of the missed alternative for an X-Information joke), Tyler match proper again in with the group, and ended the episode with an open invitation to rejoin.
The event jogged my memory of what Hayden advised me earlier in Season 4 about filming in Budapest, the way it matched with Jesse Lee Soffer’s sentiments, and one more reason why it is so unhappy that FBI: Worldwide was cancelled together with FBI: Most Wished.
What Introduced Tyler Sales space Again To The Fly Group
The case of the week took the group to Switzerland after a seemingly obvious mysterious demise involving an American, and it shortly grew to become difficult with the reveals of assorted affairs, together with one man making the most of a barely-legal teen who trusted him. The plot thickened when the person having the affairs was killed in a scuffle together with his 15-year-old son, and the Fly Group was duped into getting a confession out of the teenager’s mother with the understanding that he’d be extradited to the U.S. for a gentler sentence.
Effectively, it was an in depth name that required Wes to stress an envoy into calling in some favors to make up for her half within the mess, and the case got here to as pleased an ending as doable. After pitching in with Wes and Co., Tyler was prepared to return to the Extraterritorial Squad – which investigates in territories exterior of the U.S. and not house aliens – however Wes needed him to stay with the extra thrilling work of the Fly Group.
And because the episode did not actually contact on how Tyler left the group within the first place to be nearer to his daughter within the U.S., I am inclined to suppose that FBI: Worldwide actually was planning to maintain him round in the long run after giving Veronica St. Clair a shot as Agent Riley Quinn. He did point out his daughter, however did not cite her as a motive for any of his skilled decisions, and simply stated that it “seems” he likes “journey perks.”
I would usually be fairly excited on the thought, as most Worldwide stars who left the present have not returned, excluding Christiane Paul making a few visitor appearances as Katrin Jaeger. Alas, the cancellation provides some tragedy to even the story in regards to the solid’s “cute” custom for watching the present, so it was bittersweet after I recalled Jay Hayden’s enthusiastic feedback about filming within the capital of Hungary.
Jay Hayden On Filming In Budapest
Jesse Lee Soffer was hyping the arrival of his real-life buddy weeks earlier than Jay Hayden’s debut, and Hayden had some nice causes for why he needed to affix FBI: Worldwide so quickly after Station 19 ended. Actually, the Station 19 alum solely had nice issues to say about the entire expertise after we spoke again in December 2024, forward of his debut as Agent Tyler Sales space. Once I requested on the time what it had been like for him to movie in Budapest, he shared:
Oh my gosh! Town is wonderful. It is beautiful, and the meals is superior. It’s actually far-off. It is! I imply, that is quite a lot of flying time. When individuals are waking up right here, you are going to mattress there, and vice versa. It is an adjustment, and I’ve youngsters, so being away from them was troublesome. The remainder of the solid has acquired all of it dialed in. They know the place all the good locations to eat are, the procuring, the stuff to do.
Whereas it was difficult to movie an ocean away from his youngsters, Jay Hayden solely had good issues to say about spending time in a Budapest and the sequence regulars being so settled into the town that they might suggest the very best locations for him to go to. And it seems that the place that Jesse Lee Soffer was in a position to level him in direction of is kind of becoming, after his first episode of Worldwide concerned a surprisingly foolish golf scene between Wes and Tyler.
On the time, Hayden joked that it “actually chaps Jesse, it actually burns him that my character is best than his character within the present” at golf. Golf has even turn into a working joke with Wes within the present by this level! The recurring visitor stated:
Jesse already is aware of the place the golf course is on the market. It was actually nice, and everybody was so good about telling me all of the locations to go and all of the issues to do, however it’s an adjustment.
I spoke with Soffer timed to the Season 4 premiere that launched Wes Mitchell because the substitute for Luke Kleintank’s Scott Forrester, and he hyped how he was in a position to movie in areas throughout Europe like Portugal and Paris. The Chicago P.D. vet had a lot to say about Budapest particularly, although, as he advised me final fall:
The relocation has been so attention-grabbing and enjoyable. Budapest is a tremendous metropolis. I am studying Hungarian in order that I can decide up little issues right here and there on set. I can curse up a storm. I am not going to do any of that right here immediately, however I am actually having fun with that stuff. The one difficult half is discovering your sort of creature comforts. Amazon does not actually work right here, so you may’t get the conventional stuff that you just get ordered to the home. [laughs] It is a bit of trickier.
As if I wanted extra causes to be bummed about FBI: Worldwide being cancelled, the solid members have had nice experiences filming in Hungary. Christina Wolfe even opened up earlier in Season 4 about how the manufacturing group is ready to make areas in Budapest double for different areas in Europe. Of the numerous crime dramas in primetime, Worldwide additionally set itself out from the pack with its abroad settings.
Effectively, not less than the top is not nigh for a short while longer. Maintain tuning in to CBS on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET for brand spanking new episodes of FBI: Worldwide, between FBI at 8 p.m. ET and FBI: Most Wished at 10 p.m. ET.
