FBI returned to the TV screens with a blast in what fans are already calling the best episode of the show so far. Fire and Rain was a fast-paced and emotionally dense episode that saw many of our favorite characters stand out and shine, most notably Stuart Scola (John Boyd).
The latest episode dealt with a terrorism plot, an excellent villain and a very fast-paced storyline that dealt with a race-against-time scenario for the group. The rescue mission seemed impossible for a moment before the team came out on top at the very end of the episode.
Sure, the fans were thrilled, and Twitter was filled with praise about how well-written the episode was.
Fans react to "brilliant" Scola
John Boyd's portrayal of Scola seems to have caught all the eyeballs in this episode. In an storyline that was massively emotional for him, fans saw a side of Stuart that they don't usually get to. This was enough to grab their attention, and after the episode was over, he was all the fans were talking about .
Scola was both the center of the episode emotionally, and the hero of the case solved. It is indeed good to see them prioritize one character over others at times. It is a winning formula, as is evident from the overwhelming reactions from fans on social media platforms.
A fan tweeted:
"Scola is a Hero! It's written all over him!"
This pretty much sums up how we all feel about Scola after tonight's episode.
