Beloved police procedural drama, FBI made its comeback with Season 7 on CBS. The premiere of the season saw a goodbye from Tiffany Wallace and the squad working hard to serve justice to a Brooklyn plumber.

The episode's title, 'Abandoned,' works on a dual level. While Stuart Scola, Tiffany's partner, feels abandoned after her exit from the team, which he later voices in the episode, the title also befits the case at hand.

This episode deals with the assassination of a Brooklyn plumber who worked for the CIA to take down an Iranian police official. Later, his family was left to look after themselves after the CBI brought them to the US.

Here's everything that happened in FBI Season 7 Episode 1.

Actress Katherine Renee Kane, who plays Tiffany Wallace on FBI, revealed her exit from the show in August this year to pursue more ''creative endeavours''. While fans were upset with this news, they were also excited to see how her character would be written off in the show.

The premise of her exit was set in Season 6, Episode 8, "Phantom," when she went into a spiral after the death of her co-worker and friend. It was suspected that she would quit this line of work after witnessing her friend's tragic end. That is exactly what happened. After almost an entire season, Tiffany exits from the FBI in the Season 7 premiere.

While her partner Scola feels ''abandoned'' by her decision, it is valid to feel this way after the tragedy with Tiffany's friend. Tiffany is also worried that her state could be a liability for Scola, which is voiced when he is stabbed later in the episode.

Tiffany's exit from the show was completely justified, with no over-the-top emotional acting, making a befitting conclusion for her character.


FBI Season 7 Episode 1 shows the importance of teamwork

While it was Tiffany's last episode, the episode doesn't sideline its other characters. That is a unique strength of the show. It gives enough screen time to every character. The premise of FBI vs CBI made it possible to involve the whole team and show them their strength in unity.

While the CIA dehumanized Tariq Amini, his wife Nadia, and their friend Cyrus Kayed by using them and then tossing them aside, the FBI are the good agents who helped them get the justice they deserved.

The whole squad works together and goes out of their way to help Nadia and her daughter Sarah get their lives together. This shows how the team's priority is not just winning against the bad guys; they are the actual law enforcement, who genuinely feel it their duty to right every wrong.


FBI Season 7 Episode 1 sets the tone for the season as a whole

With the premiere of Season 7, FBI drives home the fact the show is back. An hour of stellar acting and amazing storytelling did not fail to impress the audience. This episode is written by Mike Weiss, a new showrunner who has never written for the show before.

The premiere sets the tone for the new season. With Tifanny gone and new pairings forming, the team will work even harder to give people the justice they deserve.

Catch FBI Season 7 every Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. on CBS.
