Season 3 finale of FBI: International, titled “Tuxhorn,” left viewers with high stakes and an unexpected twist involving the disappearance of Forrester. As the Fly Team chased leads to Norway, unauthorized by the Norwegian government, the tension built around Forrester’s missing status and his connection to his mother, Angela Cassidy.
A Masterful Bait and Switch
Despite Luke Kleintank’s early departure from the season, the finale cleverly misled viewers. A woman claiming to be Angela Cassidy appeared, portrayed by Teri Polo rather than Elizabeth Mitchell, who originally played the role. This led many to believe in a simple recasting due to availability issues. However, it was revealed that this woman was Tess Chaplain, not Angela. The real Angela was with Forrester, last seen near Russia, close to Alaska. The team decided to conceal this information, giving Forrester a chance at a new beginning with his mother.
The Impact of Forrester’s Departure
Eva-Jane Willis shared insights into the aftermath of Forrester’s exit. The Fly Team dedicated their efforts to finding and assisting Forrester, leaving little time to process his permanent departure. With no confirmation of Colin Donnell joining as a regular, Season 4 may begin with the team adjusting to the new dynamic without their leader.
Willis hinted at exploring these changes in the upcoming season, suggesting that the show will delve into the team’s adaptation to the absence of Forrester. Vo’s leadership role seems to be a pivotal element moving forward.
