'FBI: International' Star Vinessa Vidotto Reacts to That Shocking Midseason Cliffhanger (Exclusive)
After an agonizing month and a half wait, FBI: International has finally revealed the fate of Agent Cameron Vo (Vinessa Vidotto), and it's good news for all of us! Despite being shot near her collarbone, losing a ton of blood, nearly dying of an infection and enduring multiple lifesaving surgeries, Vo pulled through in the end, much to the relief of her exhausted coworkers.

In the midseason finale back in December, the Fly Team thought they had burgeoning supervillain Greg Csonka in their clutches, and that they were about to get justice for Wes Mitchell's (Jesse Lee Soffer) dead friend. Csonka, of course, had other plans, as a sniper shot Vo while he escaped. The winter premiere picked up where that episode left off, with Vo's life hanging in the balance while the Fly Team fought with territorial international law enforcement to chase Csonka down.
Things got worse before they got better. Raines (Carter Redwood) realized it was time to use Vo's list of people to call if something happened to her, and revealed that they each had the other's list. Before he could get to it, Raines was taken by Csonka for his FBI credentials, and Tate (Christina Wolfe) had to find both Vo and Raines' lists.
Raines managed to lead the team to his location, and the whole thing ended with Mitchell and Booth (Jay Hayden) chasing Csonka on foot. Mitchell shot him after a little last-minute taunting, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when doctors confirmed that Vo was in recovery.
So what happens next for Vo, and does that emotional reminder of her closeness with Raines mean their will they/won't they vibes are back on? Read on for Vidotto's reaction to the drama and a few teases for what's coming up in the back half of this season of FBI: International.

What was it like to read through this storyline and discover you were getting a little time off? It was an epic script, and I loved that it was a three-parter. I was down for it. A couple of our main cast have been shot in the past, and it's always something heartwrenching for the team; they go through it together. So that's always a nice moment, even though it's unfortunate. There's a dual feeling that happens when something like this goes down: Shocked and excited and intrigued. The script was written so well by Edgar Castillo and it was directed so well by Michael Cattleman, and it was so fun to do the interrogation scenes with Csonka. He's so good, so menacing.
He felt like a worthwhile adversary for a storyline like this. Yes. Good writing, good villain. It was just epic. It's like if I'm gonna go down, that's how I want to go down.
Did you get any warning that this was coming? Nope.
That's terrifying. When we read the scripts, we're like "No, stop!" [When I read the midseason finale], I was like, "I guess it's my turn. I volunteer as tribute."
So you're not even in this midseason premiere. Have you seen it, or did you read the script? So I actually did not read [Episode 9]. I did it on purpose, because you read every script and then you perform it. I just watch movies through the eyes of an actor now. I just kind of wish that I could take that away. I just want to enjoy it, but sometimes you get too picky and things like that. I was like, "Oh my god, I'm not going to read this. I just want to see what my castmates do, and I want to enjoy it not as a cast member." I'm still going to watch it as an actor, but at least it's one step away from being too inside of it. So honestly, I know the gist of it, but I want to see where it goes. I want to be on the ride with the audience.
Whenever we do see you again, how does this affect Vo? Does she take some time to recover or is the show moving too fast for that? Yes, correct. It's a fast-paced show, but Vo's also very resilient and very hungry, and she's not one to sit back and relax. I think the Fly Team is a special type of team to be out in Europe and doing all these things, and the Fly Team is actually a real team that operates in Europe. I think she's not gonna be down for long any time soon.

Does it affect her emotionally at all? I'm sure it does. And if the writers wanted to expand on that, they could. But I think she's very resilient. She moves forward; she's glad she's alive. She's had two teammates in the past get shot, and I think she's witnessed how they handle it. And I think she has this higher purpose of, like, "I've got to be there for my team. They were there for her, and let's not dwell about it."
This episode had some reminders that Vo and Raines are super close, but there haven't been many scenes with them this season. Is that changing?I think this season, the focus is on Wes because he's new to the team. So I think it's all about getting to know him and seeing how the team interacts with him. I obviously have a past connection with him, because he was my training mentor. It morphs and evolves. And I think the friendship between Raines and Smitty got a lot closer last season when she went through finding out who her real dad was, and he's been there for Amanda as well. We'll see.
So their friendship isn't special? Don't they have a shipper name? They do. Carter knows. He's on Twitter. He knows when we just give a look in a scene, or a fist bump, it goes on, and there are these names. Carter knows.
OK, well we've been waiting for somebody to flirt with somebody. It's been a while on this show. Wes is single, right? And Jay said there .That's a Jay answer for sure. That is a Jay answer. We'll see, we'll see. I know, but I don't know at the same time. We'll just have to see.
Well other than that, how would you describe the back half of the season? I'm telling you, it sounds so cheesy to say, but it just gets more epic and crazy. I can tell you it gets bigger, and I'm not just saying that. No, it gets bigger, bigger than…not that you can ever downsize after you do these episodes four years in. You can't get smaller. Ask the writers. They've got ideas, and our production team, they've got locations. And maybe things that you've been waiting for, maybe they will start to emerge.

43 Laughably Fake Movie And TV Moments That Completely Took People Out Of It
Recently, Reddit user Behind_Th3_8_Ball asked about props that ruined a movie, and a bunch of people chimed in with the wildly fake movie moments that always bother them. Here are 43 fake-looking things from movies that I can't believe made it onto the screen. We also used some examples from r/MovieMistakes. garbage can from Independence Day, which literally says "art department" on it: Suggested by u/Namtab666 extremely obvious fake baby from American Sniper: Suggested by u/Behind_Th3_8_Ball "I don't understand this shot. Why they didn't just shoot at an angle where you can only see the prop from the back? That way, you can still capture Bradley's emotions and not disclose that it was a prop." —u/raizo11 "A blanket around the baby's shoulders would have gone a long, long way. What were they thinking??!?!" —u/dae_giovanni the baby that appears on the ceiling in Mark's dream in Trainpotting (yes, it's supposed to be creepy, but STILL): Suggested by u/Significant_Fuel5944 the fake baby in this Malcolm in the Middle scene: Suggested by u/plainandawesome characters in post apocalyptic movies and shows, especially women, have perfect Dina in The Last Of Us: "Movies about struggling characters who have freshly cut, coloured and blow-dried/styled hair. Your hair is probably the first thing you neglect as a struggling woman, especially." —u/bibijoe Karen from The Grudge 2: "When the woman in The Grudge 2 has perfectly curled hair while in the hospital." —u/Sweaty_Chard_6250 an FBI agent uses Excel to hack a nuclear weapon in Unthinkable — and you can also see a movie script pulled up: Suggested by u/HalfACupkake you can see that a character's not actually on the phone, like in this scene from The Boys...: "Whenever people talk on phones, and you can clearly see the lock screen or the homepage of the phone not being in a call." —u/Coffmad1 worse, when the character's on a different app, like Abby in this NCIS scene. Suggested by u/Foxterriers when characters text using a non-messaging app, like in School of Rock, when an audience member "texts" someone using a blank document: Suggested by [deleted] fake video game-playing moments, like this one from Rumble in the Bronx...: "Rumble in the Bronx had a kid playing a Sega Game Gear, and it is very obvious that there is no game cartridge plugged in." —u/CaptainBloodface12 this one from Malcolm in the Middle...: "Reese from Malcolm in the Middle has a scene where he is playing a Game Boy THAT LITERALLY DOESN'T HAVE A CARTRIDGE IN IT." —u/bariztizg the "controller acting" from Anora, where this character just mashes buttons indiscriminately: "Anora (which I otherwise loved) had some of the worst controller acting I've ever seen; it's straight out of a made-for-TV movie. The actor is 23 as well, surely he's held a controller???" —u/wills_b costume from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles scene, where you can clearly see the person inside: Suggested by u/SlipTheSlime actors drink from clearly empty coffee cups, like during the stakeout scenes of Law & Order...: "I can't stand when actors drink from empty coffee cups!!! Totally takes me out of the moment, and then it's all I can notice. Of course I can't think of any movies that do this now though..." —u/mudmilkshake "Not a movie, but almost every stakeout scene from every iteration of Law & Order. To me, adding some weight so they feel a bit more real to the actors and so the cup doesn't sound empty when it's put down seems like such a simple thing, but I'm sure there's more to it." —u/RedCorundum on Gilmore Girls, where the characers keep gesturing while holding cups that are clearly empty: "Gilmore Girls was the worst at this, to the point where it seemed like the cast was treating it as a running gag. They'd be gesturing wildly with supposedly full cups in their hands." —u/mbklein "Comes back from the bar at Luke's with two 'freshly filled' coffee cups. Can't see the coffee. Every time." —u/y3llowed communicator from The Phantom Menace, which is obviously a Gillette Razor: "The Gillette Ladyshave that Qui-Gon uses as his communicator in Star Wars: Episode 1 always gets me." —u/PauPau86 "My girlfriend and I both noticed that opening night in the theater because she used that exact razor." —u/Ralph--Hinkley Anakin's backpack from the same film, which looked like the backpack every other kid had at the time: "Anakin's backpack in The Phantom Menace. I just remember kids having one like that at the time, and it just seemed out of place in the movie." —u/tr1ckyf1sh of The Phantom Menace — when you could tell this guy in the background was DEFINITELY not Samuel L. Jackson: Suggested by u/colinaclark obvious mannequin used in this stunt from Wonder Woman 1984: "Wonder Woman 1984. She saves a kid during the highway scene, I think it was. She ends up holding the kid close and rolling on the ground. It was clearly a mannequin." —u/FubarioFromSicario the wildly fake dummy from the car explosion in Casino: "Casino is still a great movie, but the opening shot of DeNiro's car blowing up with the dummy inside always makes me laugh." —u/Global-Discussion-41 "I wonder at what point would he realise 'Holy shit, this looks ridiculous.'And at what point is it no longer worth it to go back and reshoot a car blowing up?I think we can all agree, Scorsese probably misjudged where that point was in this instance." —u/GimmeSomeSugar Here it is in a slowed-down GIF, so you can see how bad it is. badly photoshopped family photo in Twin Peaks: The Return: "I FUCKING HATE SHITTY PHOTOSHOPPED FAMILY PHOTOS! If you can't make it look half real, why even do it?" —u/Efficient-Editor-242 "Twin Peaks: The Return features my favourite example of this ever. If you haven't seen it, check out the photo of Andy, Lucy, and their 'kid' played by Michael Cera." —u/Hipyeti obviously fake stalactite from The Lord of the Rings: Suggested by u/IljaMaran from The Lord of the Rings, when this extra is clearly using imaginary arrows: Suggested by u/AnalysisMoney stunt from The Fugitive, where it's clearly a dummy and not Harrison Ford: "When Kimble jumps off the dam in The Fugitive. Worst dummy shot in cinema history." —u/EpicWheezes Check it out in GIF format here: toilet seat from Liar Liar, which you can tell is made out of foam: Suggested by u/heidismiles game of hackey sack going on with no hackey sack in this scene from Twilight: Suggested by u/Charlie4774 about Bond making espresso in this scene from Live and Let Die: "The shitty espresso that James Bond serves M in Live and Let Die." —u/seleucus_nicator way Steven Seagal holds a gun in Sniper Special Ops: "Not so much the prop itself. But the way he holds the gun, lmao." —u/Ghostman_Jack a character fits through the air ducts, like this scene from Die Hard: "Clean, accessible air ducts that are always big enough to crawl through. Just once, I want to see a hero get stuck in a duct and have to be cut out by the fire department." —u/colores_a_mano "The size of the things always fuckin' slays me. Never mind the fact that any tinbanger knows — even if you could fit, you ain't moving silently through thin galvanized steel tunnel that was probably installed by the lowest bidder in the most slapdash, cost-efficient way they if you're really lucky, it's connected like the building diagram actually says it is as opposed to dead-ending at a wall." —u/l_rufus_californicus eggs from Batman V Superman: "The plastic eggs Cavill is cooking Batman V Superman. Fisher-Price looking ass eggs." —u/lazlo871 uncanny valley CGI Renesmee from Breaking Dawn: "The CGI baby in Twilight. Might as well call it a prop." —u/ProAnalCyst "It's soooo uncanny valley! How did they think anyone would be okay with that fake ass baby?" —u/zaforocks fake prop toilet from Boondock Saints: "Boondock Saints is one of my guilty pleasure movies, but the clearly fake prop toilet that gets dropped on the Russian mobster…" —u/underground4077 Wash wasn't even holding onto the wheel in Firefly: "What about the very first episode of Firefly where the shot was slightly too wide and you could see Wash wasn't actually holding on to the steering and just had his hands in position? Or did I imagine it?" —u/StrictlyMarzipanOwl when Brian pulls at a brake that isn't there in 2 Fast 2 Furious: Suggested by [deleted] also Antonio Banderas just miming moving imaginary controls in this scene from Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams: Suggested by u/Chair_Last moment in D2: The Mighty Ducks when you can tell the background extras are actually just cardboard cutouts: Suggested by u/LisleSwanson of cardboard cutouts — these fake books behind Indy in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Suggested by u/Oldspice_DentalFloss scene from Men in Black where Zed and K are only pretending to type in the background: Suggested by u/MyNameGifOreilly bending scabbard from One Piece: Suggested by u/MikeFleezy "metal" rod from the show Dark, which moves: Suggested by u/AjemMirumilovny man's photo in Smallville, which is very obviously glued/taped on rather than printed as a part of the newspaper: Suggested by u/ArtisanGerard coffee cup in Game of Thrones: "The Starbucks cup marked the end of anything good out of GoT." —u/Voluntary_Perry What wildly fake or unrealistic moment or item took you out of a film or TV show?
