The FBI: International series finale had a lot of questions to answer, with one of them being about who would get the GS-14 promotion. As this season went on and there was so much focus on Mitchell that the writers always intended for FBI: International season 5 to happen, leading to cliffhangers for various characters. In the end, the episode wrapped up the two-part case, but it clearly wasn’t designed to end the whole show.
Mitchell’s Japan Case In The FBI: International Series Finale Explained
Mitchell Learns How Strict Japanese Law Enforcement Is
The first hour of the FBI: International series finale started in Budapest, when an American woman was murdered. With links to Japan, Reiko Isokawa (Yoriko Haraguchi) came to town to try to help with the investigation. When a man named Takiama was arrested, the investigation got harder, as this was a family considered Japanese royalty. It took the investigation to Japan, but Mitchell quickly learned that his American ways wouldn’t sit well with the Japanese authorities, as there is a much stricter protocol when it comes to getting warrants.
Focused on catching the killer and saving Heather, Mitchell worked on his own, with the Fly Team assisting as well as they could to find Lloyd.
Mitchell and Reiko worked off the books, leading to the higher ups stepping in and suspending Reiko and kicking Mitchell out of the country. Focused on catching the killer and saving Heather, Mitchell worked on his own, with the Fly Team assisting as well as they could to find Lloyd. In the end, Mitchell got Lloyd to share Heather’s location with the promise of a cyanide pill, so he didn’t need to go to jail, but the Fly Team leader isn’t going to let the taxi driver get off that easily.
Who Gets The GS-14 Promotion Between Vo & Raines?
Amanda Tate Announced A Decision Would Be Made The Following Day
For the last few episodes, Vo (Vinessa Vidotto) and Raines (Carter Redwood) have been waiting to find out about a GS-14 promotion. Only one of them would get it, and at the start of FBI: International season 4, episode 22, Tate (Christina Wolfe) shared that a decision would be made the following morning. We had to wait until the end of the series finale of this Dick Wolf universe show to get answers, and even then the answers didn’t come.
Vo and Raines stepped out into the main foyer for a video call, with Tate and Smitty (Eva-Jane Willis) watching. However, the camera moved to Vo and Raines holding hands as they waited for the call to connect, and we never got to find out which of the two would get the promotion. Considering the way she continued to take charge in Budapest with Mitchell out in Japan, it only makes sense that Vo would be the one to get the promotion.
What Happens To Mitchell At The End Of FBI: International?
Mitchell Has To Make a Choice About Meeting His Half-Sister

However, Dean shared that he had another child, a daughter who is a freshman in high school. She needs someone in her life to help her, and Dean thought Mitchell would be the perfect fit for it.
