It’s been a long time since Stuart Scola has had a permanent partner. FBI season 8, episode 3 could mark the end of that.

We knew that Emily Alibi wouldn’t be sticking around as Dani Rhodes in FBI season 8. What we didn’t expect was for the series to kill her character off so suddenly in the season 8 premiere. It’s certainly left a mark on Scola, and he’s sure to find it harder to connect to another partner.

However, connect he must, because that is the job. During the summer, we learned that Juliana Aidén Martinez would join the series, and now we get our first look at her.

Eva Ramos helps the team in FBI season 8, episode 3

There wasn’t a promo for FBI season 8, episode 3 released at the end of the previous episode. That is confusing, but it’s not completely unusual anymore. I still think it’s a bad move for networks not to release promos for future episodes, especially when it comes to meeting new characters.

The reveal of the new character comes in the form of images, and there are some that make it look like Eva and Scola are going to have some back-and-forths. Just look at the way Eva is standing her ground in the discussion above.

We have no details about Martinez’s new character, except a name now. Although, it does look like she’s FBI and not coming in from another three-letter agency.

What’s the case of the week?

Each week brings a new case, and in FBI season 8, episode 3, we’ll see the FBI end up running into a roadblock when their case intersects with the DEA. Oh great. Why is it that the organizations can never get along just for the good of the people?

It turns out that the case involves a man who is found beaten to death. The catch is that he’s on federal land, which means that it’s land owned by the federal government. This should mean the FBI gets to step in right away, but the DEA is in the way. There’s sure to be a fight for control over this, especially since it interrupts an ongoing operation by the DEA.

Meanwhile, the JOC may see a shakeup. During episode 2, Jubal realized what being in charge at JOC meant, and he didn’t really like it. Is it possible that someone else could come in to take over the command position for good? We hope not, as it looks like Isobel should be able to come back, but is she ready for it?

Check out the synopsis for FBI season 8, episode 3 to get ready for the new episode:

After a young man is found beaten to death on federal land, Scola and Special Agent Eva Ramos (new series regular Juliana Aidén Martinez) hit a roadblock when their case intersects with a DEA operation. Meanwhile, there is a potential shake-up inside of the JOC.

FBI airs on Mondays at 9/8c on CBS.
