We’re finally going to meet Isobel’s (Alana De La Garza) husband after she shocked OA (Zeeko Zaki) earlier this season with the reveal that she got married months before and didn’t tell anyone!

Tom Cavanagh guest stars in the Tuesday, April 8, episode of FBI as Phillip. “Lineage” will see Isobel hitting a major milestone that has her contemplating her future at the Bureau. Also in this episode, when a famous rapper and two teen fans are gunned down on his tour bus, the team discovers there may be more to the story than his feud with another rapper.

Check out photos from the episode below. They offer a look at OA (Zeeko Zaki), Scola (John Boyd), and Scola’s new partner Dani (Emily Alabi) working the case, as well as Isobel with her husband and talking to Jubal (Jeremy Sisto). Might she be talking to Jubal about that milestone and what the future holds for her?

News of Isobel’s husband had been news to Zaki, he told TV Insider in March. “Even in the table read, when I read it for the first time, I think I verbally gasped. It was such a cool little Easter egg. But yeah, I had no idea,” he said. “But it definitely sort of brought home the point and the message of that moment, which is these agents have to compartmentalize and they have to be able to keep their personal life away from their work life because it does muddy the water.”

Scroll down to see the photos from “Lineage,” then let us know what you’re hoping to see from Isobel and her husband and this milestone in the comments section.

    Isabel has been conspicuous by her absence this season. I often watch and wonder why her role has shrunk so dramatically. She's often just an after-thought as they've made Jubal more front and center. My guess is that she's moving to the new FBI show next fall. Maybe to have more of a presence. Which would explain why they're now givingher a "life" outside of the orig. FBI. I'm less keen on this "new agent" than any of the rest. Perhaps she'll grow on me, or then again, she may just be here a show or two and then be on her way like so many of the others. Anyway, MORE Isabel is what I want in light of my other fav "FBI International" being ripped out of my Tuesday viewing schedule. I thought I would find it hard to accept someone new in Scott's shoes but I really like the new guy. And I'm not a Chicago series watcher so he was new to me. Too many changes, too often, though ... and I really am losing interest! Why couldn't they have done a half season of the other two FBI's (International and Most Wanted)? 10-12 episodes each. We're all getting used to watching shows sporadically vs. the long season of 18+ approach. It's not like the old days when you couldn't find your shows anywhere else to watch! Perhaps it's time to adjust with the times, Mr. Wolf and Friends! 😉

    Ethan. He left her at the end of an episode in which she had questioned his integrity because of the corrupt politician he worked for. He was "clean," but the relationship wasn't able to survive the intensity of Isobel's commitment to her work.

    I don't know when she made this mention to OA, but wasn't there an episode a few seasons ago in which she had a gentleman staying with her?

      There was a guy in S3. His name was Ethan but they broke it off in the same episode. Leverage if I remember correctly. Then there's been passing mentions of her seeing people but nothing ever concrete. She made reference to her husband in S7 episode Shelter, so Ep 11.
