The major death that kicked off FBI season 8 gets an explanation from showrunner Mike Weiss. Heading into new episodes of the popular police procedural, there were a lot of questions about whether Isobel would survive. But in the end, it’s another character that unexpectedly gets killed off.
In an interview with TV Insider, Weiss explains why Dani (played by recurring guest star Emily Alabi) gets killed off and specifically addresses how it will impact her partner, Scola:
Mike Weiss: Losing a partner is always a tough thing. And Scola is going to be feeling the loss of Dani for a while. But Scola joined the FBI after the loss of his brother. He’s a character who finds ways to grow and honor everyone he’s lost in his daily life as an agent. It’s what makes him an extraordinary asset to the team.
