Isobel's contemplation of retirement
At the beginning of Season 7 of the FBI, Isobel had worked for 20 years and was able to claim retirement with full benefits. As a result of this milestone, she started thinking about quitting her job at the Bureau.
She shared this idea with Phillip and admitted it was difficult to know when she was done in her job. By the episode’s end, Isobel realized her mission wasn’t concluded, and she wanted to keep going.
The Forefront infiltration
In the FBI Season 7 finale, the extremist group Forefront, previously introduced in the season, successfully infiltrates the FBI's New York field office. They distribute cell phones rigged with micro-explosives to agents, resulting in the deaths of nine agents, including Assistant Director-in-Charge Reynolds.
Deputy Assistant Director Simon Keene assumes control, initiating a lockdown and stripping agents of their credentials. Keene is later revealed to be collaborating with Forefront and involved in a broader scheme with Chinese operatives to destabilize U.S. law enforcement.
Isobel's survival and undercover operation
Initially presumed dead in the explosion, Isobel survives and goes undercover, pretending to align with Keene to gather evidence. She records Keene ordering the elimination of fellow agents, providing crucial evidence that led to his arrest for treason.
Despite her successful operation, the episode concluded with Isobel collapsing outside the FBI office, unresponsive and without a pulse. This cliffhanger left her fate ambiguous, with no confirmation of her survival or death.
Isobel's personal life
Earlier in FBI Season 7, Isobel's personal life was explored, revealing her marriage to Phillip and her contemplation of retirement after reaching her 20-year milestone with the FBI.
Despite considering retirement, she decided to continue her work, feeling that her responsibilities were not yet complete. Her relationship with Phillip provided her with stability and support, which she valued deeply.
