Will Isobel Die? Plus, 7 More Questions for the ‘FBI’ Universe in 2025
FBI ended its seventh season with a first — a major cliffhanger that left the life of the boss hanging in the balance!
After the team, led by Isobel (Alana De La Garza) managed to weed out the corrupt members of a terrorist group working in the federal agency, it seemed like not getting medical attention for the head injury she suffered during an explosion earlier in the finale came back to haunt her. The Special Agent in Charge collapsed as the finale ended!
Meanwhile, two FBI spinoffs, International and Most Wanted ended, just as a new offshoot in the universe was added to CBS’ lineup for the fall. Members of the FBI and CIA will be teaming up and working out of the latter’s New York Station.
Below, we take a look at the burning questions we have for the FBI universe heading into fall 2025.
Will Isobel die on FBI?
When TV Insider spoke with Alana De La Garza and Jeremy Sisto (Jubal) about the FBI Season 7 finale, they couldn’t share any insight into the former’s future. But it’s been impossible to imagine the show without her since she joined in Season 2. And considering we just met her (surprise!) husband (Tom Cavanagh) and she’s now a stepmom, it would just be cruel to kill her off.
That being said, their jobs are dangerous, Isobel was caught in an explosion, and she delayed getting medical treatment because of what was going on. Head injuries can be very serious, and she didn’t have a pulse. At the very least, it’s serious.
Will Dani stick around as Scola’s partner on FBI?
The seventh season began with Scola (John Boyd) saying goodbye to his partner as Tiffany (Katherine Renee Kane) left. Then he had a few temporary partners, including Syd (Lisette Olivera), who was expected to fill the spot. Instead, she left after a few episodes. Then, near the end of the season, Dani (Emily Alabi) joined the team. She and Scola seem to be doing well as partners, but we’ll have to wait to see if she’s in Season 8.
Will OA propose to Gemma on FBI?
OA (Zeeko Zaki) and Gemma’ (Comfort Clinton) relationship was still going strong at the end of Season 7; it even survived their romantic vacation turning into their train being taken hostage and her being shot. And sure, we may not have thought their relationship would last when it started, but it does seem like she’s in it for the long-term. Could they take the next step? An FBI wedding could be nice…
How much will Nina appear on FBI?
Shantel VanSanten‘s character was initially introduced on FBI, at which point we heard about her and Scola’s history. The two reunited, are now living together, and are parents, with their relationship the only crossover one in the franchise once Nina joined the Fugitive Task Force of FBI: Most Wanted. While Most Wanted was canceled, Nina remains on the task force. We expect to see VanSanten pop up in episodes, buwe do wonder how much we’ll see her as part of seeing Scola at home and how much we might see her working with the team on a case here and there.
