It's FBI Tuesday but don't expect new episodes to air tonight, Nov. 5, on CBS. The procedurals are taking a break due to the network's coverage of Election Night which will begin at 8 p.m. ET. We're still a ways off from the FBIs going on their winter hiatus so they'll return to air on Nov. 12 with some pretty big episodes!

The flagship will be introducing Lisette Olivera's Syd Ortiz, the BAU unit agent who'd been tapped to be Stuart Scola's new permanent partner, however, that's not going to be the case now. While we can expect to see Ortiz in a handful of episodes, it was announced before her debut that Olivera is leaving the show. The reason cited being that her character plays too young on-screen.

In the 9 p.m. slot, FBI: International will have an episode that sees Amanda Tate going undercover as a honeypot which should prove to be a fun watch. Finally, FBI: Most Wanted will round out the three hour block with Sheryll Barnes' long awaited return and a case focused on pig butchering, a scam that targets people investing in cryptocurrency. Here's more on each episode.

FBI 7x04 - "Doubted"

Syd Ortiz's first big case involves her sister, it's why she comes out from behind the desk to get involved in the field. Her skillset is profiling, as FBI has shown through the work she's already provided to the JOC off-screen, but in "Doubted" she personally seeks out Isobel and the team for help. Her sister was sexually assaulted and nearly kidnapped. The perpetrator is a serial offender who's meticulous and is known for not leaving any evidence. Syd, however, is going to make sure he's put away for good.

FBI: International 4x04 - "The Unwinnable War"

"The Unwinnable War" is a big episode for Tate as she's been tasked with going undercover. It's her first field mission of this type and she hasn't been thrown an easy one. Due to her fluency in Spanish, Tate is specifically called upon by the deputy inspector general to be a part of an investigation in Madrid. The case involves a DEA special agent who is suspected to be dirty. She'll act as the "honey" to trap him but, as the promo shows, something goes wrong because she finds herself in danger. Will she be able to sweet talk her way out of it or will the team have to save her? We can't wait to find out!

FBI: Most Wanted 6x04 - "Pig Butchering

Sheryll Barnes is back! And the case of the week won't be one to sleep on. Barnes is leading the charge after receiving a call from a 17 year old call center worker who claims she's being held against her will. Based on what showrunner David Hudgins shared about the episode, we know that the teen has been kidnapped and is being forced to scam people out of their lifesavings by convincing them to invest it all in crypto. If she doesn't there could be fatal consequences.

The FBI shows return with new episodes on Tuesday, Nov. 12 starting at 8 p.m. ET. Stay tuned to Americans Undercover for coverage. Follow us on X for livetweet threads and more content!
