In the upcoming midseason premiere of FBI Season 7, viewers can anticipate emotionally charged moments between Nina (Shantel VanSanten) and Scola (John Boyd). Exclusive images from the episode, titled “Descent,” reveal Nina offering Scola support during a challenging case that evokes painful memories.
The episode is set to air on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, at 8:00 PM ET/PT on CBS. This marks the return of the FBI series after a midseason hiatus, continuing the gripping narratives and character developments that fans have come to expect.
In the first look images, Scola hands Chase a card at home, with both of them looking serious. Chase also seems to be holding back tears in the scene, which suggests the emotional weight of the case. Scola is set to confront a painful past in the new episode, and the first look images seem to confirm that he’s bringing Chase to the case, as he specializes in undercover work. The two first met in FBI season 4 and have overcome many obstacles while navigating their personal and work lives.
In FBI season 6, the couple went undercover as a married couple while working through their differences over how to be new parents. Despite disagreeing with each other about the operation and the future of their relationship, the two worked things out and came up with a plan to address the risk that comes with a career in the FBI. In a previous interview, Boyd expressed interest in further exploring Scola and Chase’s relationship, teasing “there’s so much to explore” with “their banter” and “chemistry” and “respect for each other.”
