SPOILER ALERT: The following contains spoilers for FBI Season 8, Episode 11.

It’s interesting that after a massive two-hour event, FBI returns with an episode that is fairly by the book. “Confetti” is a fairly standard hour for the CBS drama, mixing crime-solving with personal problems. But that also means it delivers everything fans will be looking for, including one big scene that honestly doesn’t last long enough.

The episode feels almost too quiet, considering that the last time fans saw these characters, they were averting a crisis on the level of any good disaster movie. But “Confetti” is a reminder that FBI rarely has to get that big to tell a good story. It can entertain fans simply by putting the puzzle together in a way that makes sense, because the characters and the actors who play them are always reliable. Viewers just want a good story, knowing that good performances are a given.
