Without getting bogged down by all the details, we feel compelled to remind you that the 2021 FBI: Most Wanted fall finale was extremely intense. Jess (Julian McMahon), along with his father Byron (Terry O'Quinn), Sarah (Jennifer Landon), and Tali, ran into Sheryll Barnes (Roxy Sternberg) and her pregnant wife Charlotte (Fedna Jacquet) at the mall while holiday shopping.

Suddenly they heard gun shots and were trapped by three shooters. Thankfully everyone on the FBI: Most Wanted team made it out alive. While they were hiding together, Tali apologized to Sarah for not treating her better, and even admitted to loving her. It was a sweet moment, made better by the fact that Jess then allowed Tali to go to school in Canada as a reward for being so brave in the face of danger. Next time, maybe don't wait for a traumatic experience to say yes to something your kid wants.

In the midseason premiere, ominously titled "Incendiary," we see Jess and Sarah saying goodbye to Tali at the airport. In an interview with TV Line, Julian McMahon said that his character will pretend to handle the separation well at first, but that won't last. "Jess has had a tough road these last few years,” Julian pointed out, “so to learn that the cornerstone of his emotional connection [is going away]…"

As of now, we don't know if this is a permanent exit, or if Tali will pop in and out.
