What happens in the latest episode?
Episode 5 begins with a violent college protest in which the students want the authorities to allow the college’s migrant students to live in the dorms. However, the FBI agents come across a dead body in a quiet part of the institution.
The victim is Jacob Aquino, a Filipino American who was a promising medical student and a scholarship candidate. The agents bring in a suspect named Frank Dorman. However, his involvement in Jacob’s murder cannot be proven.
Further investigation leads the students to Freddy, a drug dealer and a friend of Jacob’s. Freddy, in turn, leads the agents to the Becceras brothers, his suppliers. However, this lead too proves futile, as the Becceras brothers seem not to have murdered Jacob.
The latest episode of FBI season 7 has a twist towards the end; after a high-octane chase in which the Becceras brothers are gunned down, it is finally revealed that it was in fact Freddy who murdered Jacob.
The medical student had learned about Freddy’s involvement in the drug business. Afraid that he would speak up, the latter murdered him brutally and tried to put the blame on his drug suppliers.
The episode ends on a sad note for fans of the show. Jubal earlier used his position to release his son Taylor, who was one of the protestors. SAC Isobel ends up suspending him for the same at the end of the episode.
