‘FBI’ Goes Heavy on Scola in Season 7, Episode 13
Jubal (Jeremy Sisto) previews the case’s particulars when the video above begins. “This guy’s on a killing spree, and we have innocents in the line of fire,” he adds, teasing a development that usually requires a special task force. The Fugitive Task Force fromFBI: Most Wantedusually deals with cases of this nature, but with the connection to Scola, this team would be better suited. However, they are lucky to get Nina (Shantel VanSanten) from the mobile team to help with the investigation. Scola and OA’s leads take them to an event where the shooter has his eyes on someone in the crowd. “He’s headed right for them,” Nina says from the bullpen, teasing multiple targets. Before Scola can neutralize the threat, he’s attacked and knocked out using a fire extinguisher. Speaking toTV Insider, Boyd teased this personal case for this character, saying:
“We’re doing a really interesting episode right now about a case that takes place at Scola’s old high school. We find out that his parents sent him to a military school upstate because they wanted to punish him, but there’s some really dark things uncovered about the school and Scola navigating it. It’s an OA and Scola partnership episode, and it’s really about friendship and it’s cool. I’m excited for people to see it. . . . . We find out some interesting details about his journey into adulthood.”
Tune in to CBS on Tuesday, February 25, to watch “Unearth” and learn what happened in Scola’s past. You can also stream past episodes on Paramount+ in the US.
