The tension within the world of FBI has reached a fever pitch as series star Jeremy Sisto teases an upcoming two-part finale so volatile that he describes it with two simple words: “Everything explodes.” While the team at the New York Field Office is used to high-stakes urban warfare, this season-ending event shifts the focus squarely onto Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, placing him in the most legitimate peril of his career. According to Sisto, this isn’t just a threat to the city, but a targeted, personal nightmare that puts Jubal directly in the crosshairs.
The two-part event is set to push the boundaries of the procedural format, blending large-scale domestic terrorism with a claustrophobic, character-driven thriller. The narrative kicks off when a sophisticated criminal cell orchestrates a series of coordinated strikes designed to cripple the FBI’s response capabilities. However, the true “shocker” arrives when it becomes clear that Jubal has been singled out. As the tactical lead who has dismantled countless syndicates, Jubal becomes the primary target of a vendetta that forces him out of the safety of the Command Center and into a terrifying survival situation on the front lines.
Jeremy Sisto has hinted that this finale will explore the physical and emotional limits of his character. For years, Jubal has been the “glue” holding the team together, managing chaos from behind a desk with a coffee in hand. In this finale, that control is stripped away. Sisto notes that the “everything explodes” teaser refers not just to the pyrotechnics on screen, but to Jubal’s personal life and his mental fortitude. With his past struggles with sobriety and his complicated family dynamics always lurking in the shadows, the pressure of being hunted threatens to ignite a total internal collapse.
As fans brace for the “wild ride” the showrunners have promised, the stakes for the finale couldn’t be higher. The two-part structure suggests a cliffhanger that could fundamentally change the makeup of the cast heading into next season. With Jubal in serious danger and the FBI’s headquarters itself under siege, the series is moving toward a transformative moment. If Sisto’s warnings are any indication, viewers should prepare for a heart-pounding conclusion where survival is not guaranteed, and the fallout will leave the team—and the audience—completely shaken.
