Spoilers ahead for Episode 5 of FBI Season 7, called "Pledges." The focus of FBI shifted over to Jubal in "Pledges" before the end of the 2024 TV schedule , and focus on Jubal often means a rough time for Jeremy Sisto 's character. The episode started on an action sequence, with the team busting a group of protestors on a college campus to rescue a woman.
He was surprised to spot Tyler among the protestors who were detained by the NYPD, and he leaned on a police officer to release his son to him. There were strings attached and he was in some serious hot water with Isobel by the end of the episode, but I was still thinking about how this was the perfect time for a cameo or two from Law & Order elsewhere in the nine-show Dick Wolf TV universe . If not for a couple of complications, that is.
Why "Pledges" Would Have Been Perfect For A Crossover In all honesty, my mind flashed over to Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU as soon as I saw that the protest was taking place at Hudson University, when I'd just written about Hudson as the most dangerous place in Dick Wolf 's TV world. Jubal then interacted with a few cops, which is really nothing new for FBI . What made me wish to see somebody specifically from L&O or SVU was an exchange at the JOC.
The agents learned that the Hudson hashtag was full of students blaming the NYPD for the murder of a student, with – according to Kelly – "dozens of claims of excessive force and demands for accountability." Jubal and Isobel then had this.
