Emily Alabi has officially joined the cast of CBS’ FBI as Special Agent Dani Rhodes, bringing a fresh dynamic to the team. Her debut episode, titled Covered, aired on April 1, 2025, and introduced her character as an undercover agent whose cover had been compromised. She was brought in to assist the team in uncovering the source of a major security breach that endangered multiple undercover agents, including Maggie.
Before joining FBI, Alabi had an impressive resume in television, appearing in shows like Magnum P.I., S.W.A.T., NCIS, Teen Wolf, and The Rookie. Her experience in action-packed roles made her a natural fit for the intense investigations and fieldwork required in FBI.
Dani Rhodes’ arrival comes after a period of transition for the team, following the departure of Special Agent Tiffany Wallace. Initially, Stuart Scola was assigned temporary partners, but none stayed long-term. With Rhodes now in the mix, she is expected to become Scola’s new partner, potentially as a series regular in Season 8.
Her introduction has been met with excitement from fans, who are eager to see how she integrates into the team and what unique skills she brings to the investigations. Given her background in undercover work, Rhodes is likely to play a crucial role in future cases that require deep infiltration and deception.
