FBI star Alana de la Garza (Kristen Gaines) dies at 49 md20

A brand new FBI season 8 trailer shows Scola’s life in danger. The FBI franchise has gone through several major changes in the last few years. CBS’ cancelation of FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International despite being some of the most-watched shows downsized the once operating universe to just one show for the 2025-2026 network TV cycle.

In a smaller capacity, FBI itself has gone through major facelifts, all starting when Tiffany left the force. Since then, Scola was left without a permanent partner, as CBS went through the process of introducing and then eventually writing out characters that could fill the void that Katherine Kane left. Juliana Aidén Martinez’s Eva Ramos is currently Scola’s partner. But as that aspect of his story stabilizes, another one gets chaotic.

In a new trailer for FBI season 8, episode 7 (via TV Promos/YouTube), the New York field office is seen tackling a case that is set in prison. That said, their plan doesn’t go accordingly, leaving Scola trapped inside the facility with criminals. At one point in the promotional clip, he is seen being beaten. Watch the full video below:

The episode, titled “Fadeout”, kicks off when a Brooklyn apartment complex is rocked by an explosion. Interestingly, the crime was set in motion by a convicted felon who is locked up in prison. That’s what brings Scola and the rest of the team to the penitentiary. What’s curious is if the mayhem during their visit is part of the culprit’s grand plan or if it’s purely a coincidence.

For what it’s worth, this confirms that the danger that Scola is facing doesn’t come from anyone who has a personal vendetta against him. It’s a typical risk that people in law enforcement face every day in their jobs. Depending on how the situation will be resolved, however, this would be the perfect opportunity to feature Nina in FBI season 8. With FBI: Most Wanted canceled, the flagship is the only show that could bring her back at this point.

Beyond what’s happening with the case and Scola, FBI season 8, episode 7 will also force Isobel to make a major decision. After her near-death experience in the season 7 finale, she has been rewarded with a cushy promotion that is so well-deserved. That said, this takes her to choosing her successor. Ideally, it would be Jubal — something that she agrees with. However, office politics is raising doubts about it.
