As FBI heads into its winter hiatus, Jeremy Sisto warns that Jubal’s team is in for an “exciting” and “horrible” case with many twists and turns.
“It’s scary,” Sisto, who plays ASAC Jubal Valentine, exclusively told Us Weekly of the show’s two-part fall finale airing on Monday, December 15.
He teased that Jubal is “at the center of the storm in this one,” and so is his son, Tyler (Caleb Reese Paul).
Monday’s double feature begins with “Lone Wolf,” which, according to Sisto, 51, starts with the FBI team being alerted to a crime by the tip line, “which is not something [that] usually leads us anywhere.”

Sisto revealed that FBI analyst Kelly Moran (Taylor Anthony Miller) has an “instinct” about one of the calls, and “heads out with our agents, and they find three dead sex workers.”
Throughout the episode, the special agents discover that the murderer has connections to a “radical accelerationist movement that is committed to resetting society because it’s gotten so, so rotten.”
The actor explained that the terrorist group’s “plan is big” and includes “disrupting cell and internet connectivity,” which impacts how Jubal and the team investigate. “[It’s] very frustrating when you get disconnected, but even worse when you’re trying to stop further damage [from happening],” Sisto shared.
Which ‘FBI’ Stars Are — And Aren’t — Returning for Season 8?
“It rises to a pretty drastic, pretty dramatic threat,” Sisto told Us, noting all of the agents become “concerned” with their families “being in the wrong place at the wrong time when there is an active threat.”
That threat hits especially close to Jubal, whose high-school aged son is “in the city for the day with a friend” as the events unfold.
“[He’s] just hoping he’s not at the wrong place, at the wrong time,” Sisto said of his character’s arc, teasing that fans should pay special attention to Tyler and his conversations with dad Jubal in both parts of the fall finale.
Sisto confirmed, “In the beginning, you know something is going to get dirty with this plot,” teasing that in part two, titled “Wolf Pack,” the team must track down the bad guys without their usual communication tools in place.
Even with the disruption to their comms system, Sisto said the team will do their best to “search every square inch” of New York City to find the culprits — but it won’t be without a few mishaps.

“In this particular case, we don’t find them quick enough before some very bad stuff happens,” Sisto explained, hinting that Jubal’s personal connection to the case will be part of the “bad stuff” that transpires.
He teased that the second half of the fall finale is all about “finding [the culprits] before even more horrible things happen.”
“It’s definitely not a victory throughout,” Sisto ominously warned. “That’s why it takes two hours to get through the story. Because there’s some pretty, pretty bad losses along the way.”
FBI’s two-part fall finale airs on CBS Monday, December 15, at 8 p.m. ET. The show will resume with new episodes in February 2026.

MANGOCHI-(MaraviPost)-The Mangochi Senior Resident Magistrate’s Court has convicted and sentenced Odisi Kanjira, 52 years old,popularly known as Savimbi, to three years of imprisonment with hard labour for committing various offenses.
The court heard through the Station Prosecution Officer (SPO), Inspector Amos Mwase, that on the afternoon of July 2, 2025, a team of six Immigration officers from Chiponde Border Post mounted an ad-hoc roadblock near Namitunda Estate along the Bakili Muluzi Highway.
While the officers were carrying out their duties, Savimbi who reportedly has a history of interfering with law enforcement officers on duty, approached the checkpoint at high speed and deliberately knocked down four reflective cones before fleeing the scene. The officers pursued and apprehended him at Sailesi Trading Centre.
Upon arrival, the convict mobilized villagers and incited a violent confrontation. Armed with a catapult, he pelted stones at the officers, injuring one officer on the left cheek. The injured officer received outpatient treatment at Chiponde Health Centre.
As the situation escalated, Savimbi allegedly stormed into a nearby butchery, grabbed a machete, and threatened to hack the officers before fleeing again.
The matter was reported to police and following thorough investigations, the convict was arrested the following day at Chiponde Bus Depot in Mangochi Township.
Appearing in court, Savimbi represented by Counsel Patrick Debwe pleaded not guilty to all four counts, prompting the state to parade seven witnesses who proved the case beyond reasonable doubt.
In his submission, Prosecutor Mwase highlighted that the convict has a record of interfering with law enforcement officers in the line of duty.
He stressed that every citizen is obliged to obey the law and respect law enforcement officers, adding that such nuisance behaviour cannot be tolerated in society. He therefore prayed for stiffer sentences to serve as a deterrent.
Passing sentence, Senior Resident Magistrate Muhammad Chande concurred with the state’s submissions.
He sentenced Savimbi to three years imprisonment with hard labour for Acts intended to cause grievous harm, one and half years for malicious damage, another one and half years for obstructing officers from executing their lawful duties and one year for threat of injury to persons employed in public service.
All sentences will run concurrently with effect from the day of arrest.
Savimbi hails from Saiti Kadzuwa Village, Traditional Authority Mponda in Mangochi District.

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Lilongwe Chief Resident Magistrate Austin Banda on Monday afternoon ordered that Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Secretary General Richard Chimwendo-Banda be remanded to prison, subject to being taken to a hospital of his choice for medical examination today.
On the issue of the other suspect Alfred Dala Kadula, the court wondered how the state managed to bring him before the court if he was not arrested.
He says since there is an injunction restraining his arrest and detention, he will not remand him.
Background
Banda and Kadula have been charged with attempted murder and appeared before the Chief Resident Magistrate’s Court.
The State said the suspects were brought before the court for committal to the High Court and applied for their further remand.
However, lawyer George Kadzipatike told the court that the defence has preliminary issues that may affect the decision.
He argued that Kadula cannot be detained as he is protected by an injunction restraining the State from arresting or detaining him in connection with political violence cases.
The injunction was presented in court.
Kadzipatike also raised concern over Chimwendo Banda’s health, saying he has been seriously ill since his arrest on Friday.
He told the court that despite informing Kanengo Police and requesting that Chimwendo Banda be taken to the hospital, no action was taken.
He said Chimwendo Banda has a long-standing medical condition and was referred to South Africa for treatment in 2024, adding that the condition worsened while he was in police custody.
The defence asked the court to order that Chimwendo Banda be taken to a hospital of his choice if remanded, until he is certified fit to be held in prison.

KwaZulu-Natal- (MaraviPost)-The provincial legislature of KwaZulu-Natal witnessed a tense political showdown as the motion of no confidence against Premier Thamsanqa Ntuli failed to secure enough support.
The motion was spearheaded by members aligned with the Mkhonto weSizwe faction, who had sought the Premier’s removal amid growing dissatisfaction with his leadership.
Opposition members, including representatives from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), had requested that the vote be conducted by secret ballot to protect legislators from undue influence.
However, the Speaker of the KwaZulu-Natal legislature maintained that the vote would be conducted openly, rejecting the calls for secrecy.
The open voting process ultimately led to the motion being defeated, allowing Premier Ntuli to retain his position as the head of the provincial government.
The outcome has sparked intense debate among political parties, with critics arguing that the open vote compromised the independence of legislators who may have wanted to vote against the Premier.
Supporters of Premier Ntuli celebrated the result, citing it as a reaffirmation of his mandate and a demonstration of stability within the provincial government.
Political analysts have warned that the failed motion could deepen divisions within the legislature, as the underlying dissatisfaction among certain factions remains unresolved.
The debate over secret versus open ballots has reignited discussions about legislative procedures and the balance between transparency and the protection of elected representatives.
As KwaZulu-Natal continues to navigate political tensions, attention now turns to how the Premier will address opposition concerns while maintaining governance and stability in the province.
