The latest episode of CBS’s FBI, titled “Falsetto,” showcases Agent Eva Ramos, portrayed by Juliana Aidén Martinez, as she partners with Agent Maggie Bell, played by Missy Peregrym. This episode highlights the strong dynamic between the two women, particularly in the absence of their male counterparts, Agent Scola and Agent OA.
In “Falsetto,” which aired on March 5, 2025, Eva and Maggie tackle a complex case involving a shocking daytime stabbing that escalates into a disturbing revelation of sex trafficking. The episode sees the two agents working together to solve a crime that ultimately leads them to confront a Crown Prince involved in the trafficking ring. The absence of Scola, who is visiting family in Texas, and OA, who is recovering from a near-death experience, allows for a focus on the female leads.
Martinez expressed her excitement about working with Peregrym, noting that their partnership brings a unique energy to the series. In an interview with CinemaBlend, she remarked, “When women do things, they get things done. I just think that Eva and Maggie are just so badass together, and they take on this really huge case, and they’re not messing around.” This sentiment captures the essence of their collaboration as they navigate the challenges presented in the episode.
The narrative intensifies as the agents uncover that their first murder victim was involved in sex trafficking. The storyline takes a turn when it is revealed that the killer, Salma, had previously been trafficked herself and is seeking vengeance against those responsible for her suffering. The complexities of the case deepen as diplomatic protections shield the Crown Prince from immediate justice, leaving Eva and Maggie to grapple with the limits of their power.
As the episode unfolds, the two agents exhibit a relentless determination to resolve the case. “Falsetto” not only highlights their professional capabilities but also showcases the strength of female representation in procedural dramas. Martinez explained, “I find it very empowering for the audience to see it, and then with Eva and Scola, I think their cleverness and just their ability to perceive and critically think about a case is a dynamic that happens naturally for them.”
The upcoming episode, titled “Parental,” promises to reunite the entire team. Scheduled for airing on March 12, 2025, it will feature Isobel back in the field alongside Maggie and Eva, indicating a return to the series’ full dynamic following the recent upheavals.
As FBI continues its eighth season, viewers can catch new episodes on CBS every Monday at 9 p.m. ET. For those looking to catch up, all seven previous seasons are available for streaming on Paramount+.
