SPOILER ALERT: The following contains spoilers for FBI Season 8, Episodes 9 and 10.

The FBI fall finale being a “two-hour event” automatically sets the bar for “Wolf Pack” and “Lone Wolf” extraordinarily high. The CBS show has to deliver a plot that essentially feels like a movie, because that’s how much airtime it has to fill. And for the most part, the series gets there. A fan of the procedural genre won’t be surprised by some of the biggest plot twists—but there’s no denying that it’s all entertaining.

First and foremost, it’s easy to see why CBS packaged the two episodes as one block: they were clearly written that way. On its own, “Lone Wolf” wouldn’t have been a very fulfilling watch; it’s mostly all setup leading to the cliffhanger that audiences already know is coming, thanks to the marketing. And the emotional cliffhanger of Jubal Valentine’s son Tyler being among the injured is also not a shock, given Tyler’s appearance in the very first scene of the episode. FBI fans know he’s there for a reason and not just making a quick cameo. And fans of Dick Wolf series know that those shows have done multiple plots putting main characters’ loved ones at risk.
