Buckle up, FBI fanatics – CBS’s unstoppable crime juggernaut is roaring back after the Thanksgiving break with Season 8 Episode 7: “Fadeaway”, and it’s shaping up to be a pulse-pounding, jaw-dropping thriller that will leave you screaming at your screen!

Airing Monday, December 1, 2025, at 9/8c, this explosive installment (pun very much intended) kicks off with a massive large-scale explosion ripping through a Brooklyn apartment complex – flames, chaos, terrified residents fleeing for their lives! The team – led by the unflappable Special Agent Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym), sharp-shooting OA Zidan (Zeeko Zaki), and the ever-reliable Scola (John Boyd) – dives headfirst into the inferno, racing against time to track down the bomber.

But here’s the real shocker: They nab the perpetrator almost immediately… only to discover he’s just a pawn, taking orders from a convicted felon rotting away in prison! Insiders tease a tense, high-stakes prison visit where the team confronts this mastermind behind bars – think razor-wire confrontations, mind games, and revelations that could blow the case wide open. Will the team crack the puppet master’s deadly scheme before more buildings go up in smoke?

Meanwhile, the episode delivers massive personal drama in the Joint Operations Center! Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille (Alana de la Garza) faces the ultimate career crossroads: She’s been offered a huge promotion to Assistant Director in Charge, but she must name her successor before stepping up. And guess who’s been gunning for that spot? None other than Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine (Jeremy Sisto) – the strategic genius who’s stepped up big time during crises!

Exclusive sneak peeks show Isobel gearing up to make the announcement… only for higher-ups to swoop in with brutal reality checks. Jubal’s dreams of taking the top job hang in the balance – will he get the nod, or is heartbreak (and awkward tension) on the horizon? Sources whisper this subplot packs emotional punches, testing loyalties, egos, and team dynamics like never before.

Written by Woody Strassner and directed by Yangzom Brauen, “Fadeaway” promises cinematic intensity: heart-stopping field sequences, forensic breakthroughs, tactical raids, and those signature FBI twists that keep you guessing until the final seconds. The title itself screams mystery – “Fadeaway” hints at vanishing evidence, disappearing leads, or someone trying to vanish into thin air. Fans are already buzzing with theories: Is this tied to a larger criminal empire? A vendetta against the team? Or something far more personal?
