After a long summer pause, FBI finally made its comeback to the screens on October 13 with its Season 8 premiere. The show’s Season 7 finale ended on a cliffhanger note with Alana De La Garza’s Isobel collapsing. Fans were eagerly waiting to learn the fate of Alana’s character, as she didn’t have a pulse the last time they saw her. So, is Isobel alive in FBI Season 8?
Does Alana De La Garza’s Isobel live or die in FBI Season 8?
Isobel doesn’t die in FBI Season 8, and is shown surviving a critical surgery.
FBI’s Season 8 premiere comes with the loss of a key character and a major plot twist. The burning question of whether Isobel made it or not isn’t answered in the opening moments of the season.
The season’s first episode begins with a man, revealed as a judge, driving into a town. He is confronted by an armed man asking the reason for his visit. The judge proceeds to show a photo of a boy, asking the armed man if he has seen him anywhere. Instead of answering, the man takes his car keys. Meanwhile, a group of armed individuals immediately surrounds the judge.
Upon finding the car of the missing judge, Maggie (Missy Peregrym) and OA (Zeeko Zaki) take up his case. Their search meets an unfortunate end with them being held hostage, and the judge already dead. Scola (John Boyd) and Dani Rhodes (Emily Alabi) come to their rescue, and just when everything seems to be alright, Dani collapses. She dies of blood loss from a gunshot wound with Scola by her side.
Meanwhile, Isobel’s fate is left hanging in the air until the end of the episode when Jubal (Jeremy Sisto) rushes to the ICU to see her. Earlier in the episode, her husband Phillip (Tom Cavanagh) had updated Jubal about Isobel’s brain bleed that required an emergency craniotomy. While the odds of Isobel making it out alive were slim, she managed to survive the complex surgery, putting all anticipations to rest.
