FBI Star Alana De La Garza Reveals Isobel’s Critical Episode 7 Decision
The latest episode of “FBI” featured a series of intense events that put its main characters in challenging situations. Amid a gas explosion, the death of a pregnant teenager, and a prison riot, significant changes loomed in the leadership structure of the FBI team. This has raised questions about Isobel’s future as the Special Agent in Charge (SAC).
Isobel’s Future as SAC
Isobel has been facing immense pressure to transition to the Assistant Director in Charge (ADIC) position. As she contemplates this career move, the director has intensified the urgency to name her replacement. Jubal, a trusted colleague, recently learned that he was not selected for the SAC role, a decision that upset his teammate, Castille.
Character Struggles
Alana de la Garza, who portrays Isobel, commented on the internal challenges faced by both Isobel and Jubal. She indicated that while Isobel acts in the FBI’s best interest, Jubal has a documented history of power misuse that impacted his bid for the SAC position. This history weighed heavily on Isobel as she weighed her own career decisions.
Throughout Episode 7, Isobel grappled with uncertainty about the role of ADIC and the relationships she would leave behind. De la Garza noted that Isobel would miss her close connections with her team, including field agents and the Joint Operations Center.
Decision to Decline the ADIC Role
At the conclusion of the episode, Isobel made a remarkable decision. She informed Jubal that she would not accept the ADIC position. “I don’t want to end up like him,” she said, referring to AD Ropac. Isobel emphasized that she values her current role and the team dynamics over a higher title or salary.
While AD Ropac’s brusque comments about Jubal influenced her decision, Isobel’s choice stemmed from a broader context. “Everyone played a part in her decision,” de la Garza explained. Isobel realized throughout the episode that her contributions were vital and that she might be exactly where she needs to be.
Upcoming Challenges for the Team
As the season progresses, there are only three episodes left, including a two-part midseason finale set to air on December 15 at 8/7c. De la Garza hinted at an “exciting two hours” that would put the FBI team to the test with a murder investigation that reveals more complexity than initially thought.
- Episode 7 showcased dramatic developments, including:
- Gas explosion and prison riot.
- Isobel’s potential career shift to ADIC.
- Jubal’s disappointment after being overlooked for the SAC role.
As viewers look forward to upcoming episodes, the dynamics between Isobel and Jubal will continue to be a focal point of interest. Fans are eager to see how their partnership evolves in the face of these ongoing challenges.
