Jay Hayden’s run as Officer Tyler Booth on FBI: International seems to have come to an end. His exit appears to have been confirmed in the episode “Keep Calm and Deliver the Biotoxin.” Unlike previous speculations about Special Agent Cameron Vo’s exit, it was Booth who ultimately left.
Did Jay Hayden’s Tyler Booth die in FBI: International?
No, Jay Hayden’s Tyler Booth did not die in FBI: International.
The latest FBI: International episode revealed that Taylor Booth was up for a GS-14 promotion, a role that would allow him to return to the United States and be closer to his daughter. However, his hopes were complicated when he learned that Europol Agent Megan “Smitty” Garret was to be consulted for the promotion and not his supervisor, Wes Mitchell as speculated before. This raised concerns, as Booth feared Smitty might reveal how he and Wes had bent the rules to bring down Greg Csonka in a previous mission.
Agent Smitty assured Booth she wouldn’t volunteer the incriminating details but refused to lie, stating she wouldn’t jeopardize her career. This left Booth anxious about his chances. Later, Smitty decided to step aside to help with the situation by emailing her resignation to Wes. She reasoned that Wes was leading the team well and that her leaving wouldn’t affect the team.
Just as it seemed both Booth and Smitty might leave the team, Wes intervened. He rejected Smitty’s resignation, emphasizing her importance to the team and his need for her to keep him in check. He then revealed that Booth had withdrawn his application for the GS-14 promotion and was returning to the U.S.
The Fly Team bid farewell to Booth with a toast, celebrating his contributions. In a heartfelt moment, Smitty arranged a surprise for Booth: his daughter was flown in to greet him upon his return home. A note from Smitty read, “Welcome Home, Your Friend, Smitty,” highlighting the bond they had formed.
All in all, Jay Hayden’s Tyler Booth did not die in FBI: International but merely exited. While Tyler’s departure was bittersweet, the show has left the door open for a potential return.
