Recap / FBIS 05 E 09

Go To

A teen shows up at FBI headquarters with a large bag of fentanyl, seeking the team's protection from the men who shot his father; Nina goes to Scola with a proposal he is hesitant to accept.


Tropes:

  • Adults Are Useless: Vincent Logan commits a series of selfish and short-sighted decisions that put his son Trevor in danger.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Despite Trevor and Scola's best efforts, Vince opts for Suicide by Cop rather than going back to jail. Trevor is left heartbroken over his father's death and faces an uncertain future. The tragic outcome drives Scola to tell Nina that he cannot sign away his parental rights and he wants to be present as a father in their child's life. Nina accepts Scola's decision and happily reveals that their child will be a boy. They decide to go out for dinner together so they can talk about potential names for their baby.
  • The Bus Came Back: Nina returns since her departure in "Double Blind" to inform Scola that she is keeping the baby, but she wants to move to Los Angeles and raise their child by herself.
  • It's All My Fault: In the aftermath of his father's death via Suicide by Cop, Trevor blames himself for bringing the bag of fentanyl to the FBI which led to the tragic outcome. Scola reassure Trevor that he did the right thing and helped save a lot of lives. Nevertheless, Trevor is heartbroken that he never got to tell his father that he loved him.
    Trevor: "I never should have brought that bag to your office. I thought it was the right thing to do, but..."
    Scola: "It was. That fentanyl would've destroyed a lot of lives. This wasn't your fault, Trevor."
  • Suicide by Cop: How Vincent Logan ends himself.
