With a new series regular joining, another is leaving. FBI Season 7 will say goodbye to Katherine Renee Kane’s Tiffany Wallace. It is certainly a blow to fans.
In some good news, we won’t get a sudden exit that leaves someone like Scola saying where she’s gone. Kane will be back for at least one episode in FBI Season 7, allowing for her to say goodbye. It’s not clear if this is just for a cameo or for the whole episode as of yet, though.
How could we lose Tiffany from the series? Here are some of the options available.
The team realizes that Tiffany’s shot in the FBI Season 6 finale was not good
During the FBI Season 6 finale, Tiffany made a shocking decision. She shot the terrorist Hakim and claimed that it was in self-defense. This was a questionable shot, and Maggie and OA had to check Hakim’s body to make sure it was a good shot. While Maggie didn’t find a gun, OA found one in his body.
The team could realize that with the gun in the pocket and not out, it wasn’t really self-defense. This could lead to Tiffany being pulled up for her decision, leading to her being fired from the job. It would completely backtrack the end of FBI Season 6, though. It would also lead to Tiffany not getting the ending she deserves.
Tiffany could realize that the job is too much for her in FBI
An alternate way of dealing with the situation is for Tiffany walking away from the job. She could realize that everything involving Hobbs has been too much for her, and she could realize that she can’t focus on the job. This could make her exit from the team being on her own terms.
The job isn’t an easy one. A lot of people suffer from trauma and PTSD from events that have happened. We saw it with Kristen after the events in the second season that saw her almost die. Maggie has also suffered since her near-death situation. It’s not weak saying that the job is no longer for you, but it can feel that way.
Someone else could see that Tiffany is struggling too much
There is a new series regular coming into the story. Lisette Olivera is coming in as a Behavioral Analyst Unit agent, which means that she is well-versed in body language and trauma. She could be the one to see that Tiffany isn’t in the right frame of mind to continue in the job.
We could see her bringing up some issues that she’s seen with Tiffany in the field. This could lead to Isobel having to make a difficult choice for the safety of her own team.
The last two methods of writing Tiffany out will be more preferred by fans than backtracking on the FBI Season 6 finale.
