FBI Season 8 Episode 3 titled 'Boy Scout' introduced a new character who could likely shake up the existing character dynamics of the titular team. After the brutal cancellations of FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International, the flagship series remains the only Dick Wolf show on the network.

The flagship series returned with a shocking premiere for Season 8, where Emily Alabi's Agent Rhodes was brutally killed on scene. This was especially hard on her partner, Stuart Scola (John Boyd), who now stands without a partner. With Isobel recovering from surgery and Jubal stepping in as temporary team leader, Scola found himself in greater need of a new partner than ever before.

Juliana Aidén Martinez’s character, Eva Ramos, swiftly stepped into the role, making her debut as Scola’s new partner in FBI Season 8 Episode 3.

Juliana Aidén Martinez is a familiar face in the Dick Wolf universe, who previously played the character of Detective Kate Silva in Law & Order: SVU Season 1. The actress has also made guest appearances on popular shows, namely 9-1-1, Prodigal Son and The Blacklist.

Scola's long-time hunt for a stable partner likely came to a satisfactory end with Eva Ramos, who was introduced in FBI Season 8 Episode 3. Eva Ramos is a new agent who has joined the FBI New York branch and is partnered up with Scola after Rhodes' tragic death in the Season 8 premiere.

The latest episode in Season 8 of FBI smartly introduced Eva Ramos' character, who showed her quick thinking and impressive skills in the field when the team was assigned a case of a young man who was found beaten to death on federal land. After Eva displays her exemplary skills, she is revealed to be Scola's new partner. While Juliana Aidén Martinez's character will naturally shake things up, this arrival had already become the talk of the town.

After Eva and Scola had an intense conversation in Episode 3, the former started to open up about her previous job and the complications in her professional career. Eva revealed that she was formerly a prosecutor for the Newark U.S. District Attorney's office, following which, she pivoted to the FBI's violent crime and narcotics unit in New Jersey. After she was duped by her partner, with whom she was also romantically involved, she transferred to the New York branch of the FBI.

It looks like the stars are perfectly aligned for Scola and Eva to become new partners in FBI Season 8. Fans will agree that it's high time for Scola to get a trustworthy and stable partner who could provide him with emotional and professional support on the field. While Eva Ramos looks like a promising choice for now, the two still have a long road to go before they become perfect partners.

While Eva initially had a hard time trusting Scola, partly due to her past experiences with her ex-partner, she eventually recognized his loyalty and honesty, which could be a bonding element for the two.

In an interview with TV Insider, Juliana Aidén Martinez breaks down her character's equation with Scola and how their shared grief could materialize into professional chemistry:

''I think both of them experienced a loss — he just lost his partner, she just lost her partner — and moments that we see throughout that episode, there’s just an understanding of that loss. I think with this shared grief, if you will, it creates chemistry.''

Martinez also teased that FBI Season 8 will continue to feature snippets about Eva's backstory and former life, strengthening her bond with Scola and the audience alike. After a string of temporary partners and tragic losses, Eva Ramos could finally become a long-term and trustworthy partner for Scola.

FBI Season 8 releases weekly episodes every Monday on CBS.
