FBI Season 8 Introduces Juliana Aidén Martinez as Eva Ramos — Here’s Why She’s About to Steal the Show
Juliana Aidén Martinez storms into FBI Season 8 as Eva Ramos, partnering with John Boyd’s Scola in Episode 3, Boy Scout, when a man found beaten on federal land pulls them into a high-stakes DEA operation.
FBI just added a new face who is very much not here to make small talk. Juliana Aiden Martinez has joined Season 8 as Eva Ramos, the new partner for John Boyd's Scola, and her first case is a messy one that quickly jumps from a simple assault to federal turf.
Meet Eva Ramos
Ramos shows up in Episode 3, titled 'Boy Scout,' when Scola is assigned a case involving a man found beaten to death on federal land. That investigation doesn't stay small for long; before the hour is over, it connects to a DEA operation and pulls in more agencies than Scola probably wanted on a Tuesday.
Here's the quick sketch: Ramos didn't come up strictly through the Bureau. She started as a prosecutor, then switched lanes into the FBI, working violent crime and narcotics before landing at the New York field office. That background matters; it gives her a different toolkit than your average fed, and you feel it in how she works a room.
"She moves through the world with a prosecutorial mind."
Martinez told TV Insider her take on Ramos is someone who is ahead of the curve, sharp and quick on her feet, and energized by being out with the team instead of parked behind a desk. Translation: she can do the buttoned-up, courtroom-ready thing, but she is absolutely fine getting her hands dirty in the field. That should make for a fun contrast with Scola, who is not exactly a chaos merchant himself. Smart pairing.

Why this addition works
FBI brings in new agents all the time, but giving Scola a partner with a prosecutorial past is a nice wrinkle. It's a small detail that could shift how cases get tackled — expect more legal chess in the field and fewer muscle-first moves. If Episode 3 is the tone-setter, Ramos is here to keep things sharp, a little unpredictable, and more connected to the bigger federal picture.
