Look forward to the FBIs being back, sounds like an interesting premiere. I guess Tiffany will be leaving after this episode, I’ll miss her, but characters come and go on Dick Wolf shows, hopefully the new agent will be good.

Hubby and I were so looking forward to the return of the FBIs tonight.  We were  settled in to watch and then locally they made the knucklehead decision to pre-empt it and show the debate between two candidates for Senate.  UGGGGGHHHHH

Awww...I wanted to see Tiffany do one last chase after someone before she exited the show.

Strong season premiere - enjoyable case from start to finish. I wonder if there will be any future repercussions for going against the CIAs wishes - regardless it was the right thing to do and I loved seeing Maggie and Isobel stand up to the CIA.

It seemed like there would be more low key ways for the Iranian operatives to take out the victims, but maybe they wanted a bigger bang to get back at America for the general’s killing.

I’m disappointed to see Tiffany go, I liked her a lot and will miss her, but I’m not surprised she felt burned out after what happened last season. Hopefully the new agent will be good as well. 

Nice to see all of the other characters back - I enjoy Jubal and his command room of agents a lot, that’s my favorite part of the show.

Nice to have FBI back - this is a consistently entertaining show with good main characters and solid cases.

Was Jeremy Sisto/Jubal wearing bronzer, or had he spent a lot of time on the water before they shot the episode? Either way, weird make-up choice. Or was it just my TV?

Odd that Katherine Renee Kane/Tif doesn’t have any new projects listed on her IMDb page.

I thought the scene with the daughter finding out everything when they were first in the safe house was well-written, shot, and acted for a 1-minute exposition of a pretty big piece of the story.

Welcome back FBI, the case was good and interesting. I was surprised Tiffany's goodbye scene was with Maggie as I thought she was a little closer to OA.

I actually thought she was awful. I can't wait until I've forgotten she ever existed.

Otherwise, good episode.

I'm a bit puzzled how 11 people got killed in that car bomb, outside of the driver and the crazy biker.  Were all the other cars speeding and following so closely that the pileup was that deadly?  No matter, redshirts gotta redshirt.

Assuming all of the entrances to Penn Station were guarded, how did the assassins manage to escape.  For that matter, why not block all the entrances/exits.  Admittedly, I'm not familiar with the layout of the place, but with a little help from certain well-staffed police departments, it could be done.

Both OA and Maggie have automatic rifles at the cabin, but somehow OA ends up with just a pistol.  And both of them could use a little combat shooting training.

It's going to be interesting to see how the FBI/CIA face off plays out, and if the executive branch gets involved.  Either way, Mr. CIA is likely going to be manning a radar station in Alaska, waiting on his clothes.

So. Not in prison or on the run or hiding out?

[Dowel Jones]

I predict just a change in assignment to hide him away until everything blows over.

A lackluster goodbye for Tiffany. Her exit becomes about Maggie wanting to stay in touch. Why can’t it be between Tiffany and her partner, Scola?

Re COTW, it isn’t that engrossing for a season premiere. 😵

Does a hunting cabin in the middle of nowhere qualify to be FBI’s safe house?

What has happened to Jubal? He looks like Rossif Sutherland here. Not liking it. 😣

Jubel- law off the spray tan.

That was decidedly NOT Penn Station. LOL

I think the actress was fine.  It was the character I didn’t like.

Ok, but I never got to see the actress, only ever the character called Tiffany. Whose absence improves the show by a significant factor.
