‘FBI: Most Wanted’: What’s Jess up to in Julian McMahon’s Last Episode? (PHOTOS)
The Fugitive Task Force is about to work its last case with its leader, Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix (Julian McMahon), not that they know it.
The March 8 episode marks McMahon’s final episode of FBI: Most Wanted, and we can only speculate about why Jess leaves the team for good at the moment. The logline for “Shattered” only reveals that he and his girlfriend, Sarah (Jen Landon), make plans to take their dream vacation together. And as you can see in the photos below, they do look happy.
This comes after the latest episode saw him decide to court her, since he’d never done so. But with his daughter Tali at boarding school, they have the time for date nights and for a new chapter, as Hana Gibson (Keisha Castle-Hughes) revealed her parents did with the kids gone. Will the dream vacation — and actually taking it — be part of that and how Jess leaves?
As for the case, the team will be pursuing an abusive man on the war path to find his ex-girlfriend, who’s trying to escape him for good. The photos also offer a look at the investigation, which appears to take them to a grocery store and hospital.
Scroll down for a peek at McMahon’s last episode and Jess’ last case with the team.

I won’t be watching any longer. Can’t stand the guy stepping in.
-
A
Good luck. I really hope they leave the door open for him if he wants to come back. Really hate to see him go because he really does fit the part. Love the show and will definitely miss him. 🙂
-
G
Totally agree

One of the reasons I decided to watch this show was him. Other actors have left and that cut the show a lot for me but this actor leaving pretty much closed the lid for me. There's just too much change in the cast to continue watching. That's just my thoughts about it.
-
P
Not a fan of Dylan McDermott but I'll watch an episode or 2 and decide if it's worth watching without Jess.🙄
-
R
Wow, Hate to see him go.. he did /was a good Actor!!.. Cool/ Calm, Caring handsome guy!!. Will miss him, and his smirky smile ( lol).. Wish him Luck with his Future Endeavors, be safe..
-
C
And just like that they are ruining another show, can not stand the replacement. Won't be watching.
-
C
I really liked
him... I will miss him..
-
B
It just doesn’t seem right. He could’ve had that gig for ever and he just leaves it. I’m wondering what really happened
-
O
Love the show and he fits the part to a T! Sorry to see him go !
-
C
When the native American cast members left the show, then other actors left I think the soul of the show was gone. I think this will be the final death knell. I'm out!
-
O
Will not be the same without jess.
-
O
We are very sad to see him go. They left it open in case he comes back. He is the reason we watch that show !!!
-
G
Do not like the changes. Not crazy about another replacement, makes it hard to follow the show.
-
P
Why are all the men leaving this show, it was a great mix with his in-laws and kid. I think I’m out
-
G
I don’t think the show will be the same. He was what made it. I don’t like the new guy on L & O so know I won’t like him on FBI. Just wish we knew why he quit the show. And is he going to be playing on another show? Please bring him back there isn’t anyone to take his place. Bad move for FBI.
-
G
I hate to see Julian leave. I started watching this show specifically because he was in it. Good luck Julian!
-
R
There has been so much turnover on the show. Makes me wonder if the original cast members didn't really believe the spinoff would happen. Once Nathaniel Arcand left, the show hasn't been the same. Not sure it will survive yet another big loss.
-
G
I won't be watching the show any longer..he was the show, without him in it..I don't think it will make it!
-
C
I think this show is going down hill.Firdt his brother in law and family,then his daughter now him.Dylan McDermott isn't a good fit for this show.There's only one original character left.I guess she will leave next.My Tuesday night line-up is getting really sad.
-
O
He is the reason why I look at the show he is a good actor on the show.
-
O
I will definitely stop watching the show if Julian McMahon leaves.
-
C
Been taught to never hate anything!! BUT really hate that Julian is leaving, he is very much the only reason I watch this show!! While the other actors are really good, was so very excited to see him in this role. Missed him since watching Nip Tuck!! Wish him well & hope to see him soon in another adventure!! Such a good actor!! So very SAD!!😞😢😞
-
C
I watch this show because of jess.guess I will be done with it now.he makes this show
-
G
I am going to miss him… 😢
-
P
Hate his replacement who cant hold a candle to him& probably won't be a fan
Will miss Jesse immensely- he was the show.
And i also wonder what's going on- lots of people gone
Bye from.a jesse fan
-
B
If he leaves the show i won't be watching it anymore i like everone else but with him gone it will not be the same to bad he is leaving.
-
R
I wish he didn't go I think they should bring Pride from ncis new Orleans to be the boss
-
C
I love the show because of him is the network letting him go
-
O
He was the only one left to watch so sad on his way out not sure if I will get used to the new guy
-
O
He’s why I watch show…not fan of replacement one coming on.
-
O
I'm bummed Julian McMahon is leaving FBI: Most Wanted!! Show won't be the same w/o him!!!! Have been watching him for years Inc Another World & the show with him as the Plastic Surgeon!!!
-
O
You meam Nip/Tuck
-
-
C
Definitely watched the show just for him. Such an outstanding actor. Hope he pops up on some other show and that I'll like his character.
-
P
My feelings exactly why does Dick Wolf do that on all his shows he ruined Chicago PD by changing the cast members
-
R
I absolutely bawled my eyes out last night. I had not read anything saying Jess was leaving. I never even knew him before this series and was amazed by him. I have not been a fan of Dylan. He's a horrible person on L&O. I can only hope he surprises me. I know I will continue to watch if Jen Landon and Terry Quinn are regularly on the show but if they remove them completely too, I don't think I'll have a interest at all and I love Dick Wolfe stuff.
-
A
I think it was totally wrong for them to kill him off. So I guess his daughter, girlfriend and the rest of the family are off too. So wrong!!
-
G
I will miss him, he is a really great actor, just finished watching the show, and can't believe he got killed off, just so.......
-
R
It Stunk. I’m still crying. Every show anyone that gets a girl friend or wife. One of then has to die, why! It’s crazy. I think I’m done with this show now. Why could he just get married and retire, seriously. Or they go on vacation and both die in a plane crash or something. Now what going to happening to the actress that plays his girl friend.
-
R
Not sure if I’ll keep watching. He was the main character and was the show!
-
G
I am so sad. Out of all the FBI shows on TV this was my favorite. You broke my heart, he was the most interesting character on the show. I can honestly say that I doubt I will continue to watch. I am not a fan of FBI International. The characters are not interesting. The FBI series is better now that Missy is back. So sad...
-
P
I love Julian McMahon's portrayal of Jess LaCroix, and I'm going to miss him a lot. Good Luck & God Speed, Julian!❤
I also like Dylan McDermott; he's a good actor with a lot of presence. It will be interesting to see, who his character is, and what he'll bring to the show.🤔
-
R
Jess was the anchor for the show. Not sure how the chemistry will work with another lead. So much has been lost with others leaving, not sure if it's worth watching anymore.
-
G
Will miss him, not crazy about McDermott
-
C
I do not want to see Kristen take over the team! I will give Dylan a chance to see how it goes..
-
R
I'm going to miss him terribly fine and a gorgeous actor
-
C
I hear they are bringing in the bad dude from Organized Crime(Law&Order); McDermott. Never liked him and he is DEFINITELY NOT a replacement for Julian! No more; I'm done.
-
G
I will not be watching it anymore only watched it for Cosby And Jess.
-
P
Love the show. He is great in the series. I loved Dylan McDermott in the Practice so I will give him a chance.
-
P
I do hate that he is leaving. Was really enjoying the storyline with Sarah. Love Jen Landon anyway, and thought she brought a lot to the relationship. Especially with the daughter. Have read complaints about Alexa Davalos's character. She definitely does need to speak a little louder, but I am a fan. She was fantastic in The Man in the High Castle and, has good story line here.
-
O
Big mistake to let him go he's really good playing this part. I'm not a fan of Dylan McDermott besides he's playing a criminal on Organized Crime to me it's a conflict.
-
O
Interesting to see what happens. I am disappointed in Gaines. I'm sure she's ok but her voice is horrible for this show. She speaks too low to understand. I have to use close-caption to follow the show. She needs to speak up!
-
O
They need to be happy. Hate for them to leave.
-
G
I'll give him a try; love the show so far, will miss Jess but the rest will still be here; have already lost several so it's changed. Still like the ones who are left so maybe...
-
G
I think it’s sad he is leaving but Dick Wolfe needs to work on this show and FBI International as they are boring especially the International-sick of romance of the leader and his girlfriend-their romance was blah🐈⬛
-
G
I think Dick Wolf's FBI series are a bust now. FBI Most Wanted was the only series worth watching, and now I won't be watching anymore. What started out as a great show only went downhill
-
O
Sad to see him go but love his replacement. I love the show
-
B
I love the show he is going to be greatly missed.saying that the producers need to get rid of the last female that joint the show,she just don’t cut it.At time you can’t even understand when she talk.They need to replace by a a male actor.
-
P
I'm sorry that he's leaving but Dylan McDermott will do a fantastic job. He's such a good actor.
-
G
Lost interest when they brought the girlfriend in.
-
P
I liked him in the role but he was always kind of stiff and boring. Really not that sorry he is leaving but wishing him well
-
B
I am glad he is leaving. To me he was weak. The new guy will be great if they don’t copy cat the one leaving
