CBS’ “FBI” viewers finally got to see the Season 4 finale that was pulled at the last minute earlier this year after a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Instead, it aired Tuesday night as Season 5’s third episode, and it seems audiences’ interests were piqued.

The episode involves the son of Jeremy Sisto’s character, Jubal, and his reluctance to provide information about a classmate with ties to a massive gun heist. It fared quite well and was by far the most-watched program of the night with a 0.6 rating among the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and 7 million total viewers at 8 p.
