Her character will will still premiere during the November 12th episode as planned, and the episodes she filmed will still be part of Season 7.
Ortiz was planned as Scola’s (John Boyd) new partner, taking over the void created by Wallace’s departure. Until now, as part FBI Season 7, Scola had a few potential partners. Although she was considered a permanent partner, the latest update means that Boyd’s temporary partners will continue for a little while longer.
