The last we saw of Jess, he entered his house with gun drawn because Sarah’s violent ex walked in. What’s next for him on FBI: Most Wanted Season 3?

The end of FBI: Most Wanted Season 2 left us with questions. The fates of multiple people were on the line. We heard gunshots from inside the house, but we have no idea who fired the shots and who may have been hit.

Is it possible that Jess was a victim? It would be crazy for the series to write out its main character like that, especially without warning that it was going to happen. This suggests that if Jess was shot, he’ll make a full recovery. If he wasn’t shot, it means someone else likely was.

Who is that someone else? The answer to that will affect Jess’s next actions on FBI: Most Wanted Season 3.

What’s next for Jess LaCroix on FBI: Most Wanted Season 3?

There are four other people who may have been shot. Sarah and Tali were in the house when Sarah’s ex walked in. Either of those two may have been shot by Sarah’s ex.

Alternatively, Sarah’s ex may have been the one shot. Sarah had a gun and she may have fired. Jess and Kenny both had their guns raised, so they may have fired the shots to stop Sarah’s ex.

Then there’s Kenny who may have been the one shot. Sarah’s ex may have been startled and fired the shot. Sarah may have been startled and fired her gun hitting Kenny accidentally.

The exact person is going to affect Jess in different ways. If it was the ex, he’ll treat it like a normal case. There may be tension between Sarah and Jess because of it, but he’ll know that Sarah isn’t at fault for her ex’s actions. The problem is that Tali was put in danger.

If Kenny was shot, Jess would be worried. However, he would be able to keep a level head while arranging for an ambulance. This could affect his relationship with Sarah afterward, but it all depends on how bad the gunshot is.

Jess’s biggest actions are going to be if Sarah or Tali were shot. If it was Sarah, he’ll be the worried partner. He’s already lost his wife. Does he want to go through that again? It’s going to be a concern for him, and it will likely make him want to keep Sarah safe while hunting down her ex.

If it was Tali, all hell breaks loose. I could see Jess angry at the ex and at Sarah. I could see him go off the rails a little, especially if Tali doesn’t make a speedy recovery. He’ll blame himself while blaming people around him, and we’ll certainly see another side to him throughout FBI: Most Wanted Season 3.

FBI: Most Wanted Season 3 premieres on Tuesday, Sept. 21 at 9/8c on CBS. Catch up the following day on Paramount+.
