Tyler’s Return Threatens Fly Team’s Best Ending in FBI: International

Alexandria is a British-Canadian writer with a passion for network TV.
She has a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Aston University, Birmingham. After initially working as a software tester, she rekindled a passion for writing and has written for blogs and publications like Hidden Remote, Make a Living Writing, and The Daily Voice. She has interviewed various actors and showrunners, with her most memorably being Tony Shalhoub and Mark-Paul Gosselaar.

After initially only planning to help with that one case, Wes asked Tyler to stick around for a little bit longer. It looks like the series could be gearing up for someone else to take over the Fly Team as FBI: International season 5 isn’t happening, and with Tyler around, it hinders the chance of an original and fan-favorite character to take over. As much as Tyler adds a new dynamic, it shouldn’t be at the expense of the best ending for the series.

The Fly Team headed to the Swiss Alps in FBI: International season 4, episode 17, to handle an apparent mysterious death. As that case became difficult, Wes had to put some pressure on an ambassador to ensure the deal to extradite the barely legal teen to the United States for a lighter sentence went through. Tyler came to Switzerland to aid with the case, while also offering Wes a sounding board when it came to his dad.

FBI: International is coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean all storylines need to. There is a way to continue the European-set story.

Despite initially leaving to work stateside and be closer to his daughter, Tyler ended up joining the Extraterrestrial Squad because he liked the travel perks, and the international cases with the Fly Team were so exciting. In the end, Wes asked Tyler to stick around for longer, and that’s exactly what Tyler did.

FBI: International Could Set Up A Race To A Promotion

While Wes hasn’t shown any signs that he is leaving the Fly Team, FBI: International season 4, episode 19 set up an arc that suggests this could happen. He recently got news that he has a half-sister back in the United States, and it’s possible that he’ll need to leave his European-set job to help look after her. This would open the door for someone else to take over the Fly Team, and with Tyler there, it now opens up a three-way race for that.

As an agent with more experience than Vo and Raines, it could lead to him getting this position and taking over, preventing the ending we want to see for Vo.

Then ,as Forrester went dark and was absent, she stepped into the leadership role with no questions asked.
