FBI: International Team Faces Shocking Parole News in Upcoming Episode

LOS ANGELES, April 15, 2025 — A tense moment unfolds in the upcoming episode of CBS‘s ‘FBI: International,’ airing tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern. In a sneak peek revealed by TV Insider, Tyler is seen delivering unsettling news to his mentor and director of the Fly Team, Mitchell. During a trip to the shooting range, Tyler must confront the reality that his biological father, Dean, has been released from prison.

“No, I saw Pelican Bay called a couple times but I wasn’t really feeling up to it. Why? What happened? Did he get shanked?” Mitchell inquires. Tyler responds, “No, he got out. Sentence got commuted.” The weight of this news visibly impacts Mitchell, who states, “Times like this, I’m really glad I live and work on the other side of the planet.”

This revelation follows a previous episode where Mitchell’s father disclosed that Dean had applied for commutation. Despite Mitchell’s insistence that the matter had nothing to do with him, his father cautioned him that, given his connection to Dean, he should expect to hear from the parole board. “Now, you don’t have to say yes, but your dad is—” he began, only to be interrupted by Mitchell, adamantly declaring, “He’s not my dad.”

Mitchell’s father reminded him to be prepared for a potential call regarding Dean’s parole, adding, “There’s a good shot he gets out this time. Don’t let this drag you back under.”

Tyler, who is ever-vigilant about his friend’s emotional well-being, expressed concern over Mitchell’s declining contact with the parole board. Dean has spent 20 years in prison, with a history of being released only to return. Tyler fears that his absence during the parole hearing could mean Dean’s release despite the pain he inflicted on both him and his mother. “He was abusive and he made my life hell?” Tyler admitted, feeling the burden of his sentiments intensely.

As for Mitchell, the parole hearing brings back a tumult of emotions. Initially planning to confront Dean through a video call, he ultimately shuts his laptop before the encounter, overwhelmed by the weight of the moment.

This week’s episode is titled “Lone Wolf,” and features the Fly Team embarking on a mission in Georgia. Their objective: to investigate an attack on American soldiers at a NATO-Georgia training center, which threatens to escalate into a significant international incident. Meanwhile, a supervisory position has opened up in another FBI division in Europe, creating opportunities for team members Vo and Raines, as Mitchell encourages them to apply.

Fans are urged to tune in to discover how the team navigates these personal and professional challenges, with ‘FBI: International’ airing Tuesdays at 9 p.m. Eastern on CBS.
