Actress Ebonee Noel played Special Agent Kristen Chazal in Seasons 1 and 2 of the crime drama series FBI, which premiered on CBS in September 2018.
The speculation that Ebonee Noel was leaving FBI started after the Season 2 midseason finale (Episode 10, titled Ties that Bind) on December 17, 2019, ended with a cliffhanger.
Agent Chazal suffered life-threatening injuries after being stabbed in the neck during a violent confrontation with a killer.
Fans were left in suspense about Chazal’s fate after the episode ended with the FBI agent’s life in grave danger. She was rushed to the hospital, where doctors raced to save her life.
When the show returned after a brief hiatus for Episode 11 in January 2020, fans learned the former FBI Analyst turned Special Agent had undergone successful surgery and survived the nearly fatal throat injury.
