The CBS procedural “FBI” ventures into ripped-from-the-headlines territory with “Descent,” an episode that tackles airline safety and the ever-present threat of terrorism. When an assistant U.S. attorney turns up dead, the team’s investigation uncovers a potential whistleblower and a conspiracy that could have catastrophic consequences.

The case takes a personal turn for Agent Scola, whose connection to 9/11 adds another dimension to the race against time. With the specter of another large-scale tragedy looming, the episode will likely explore the emotional toll such investigations take on the agents, particularly those with past trauma.
