The wait is over for fans of one of television’s favorite FBI agent couples. Special Agents Stuart Scola and Nina Chase, played by John Boyd and Shantel VanSanten, are set to get married in an upcoming episode of FBI. The major life event for the characters, who have been a couple since 2021 and share a young son named Dougie, will be featured in the show’s midseason return on Monday, February 23. This comes as a change for the couple, as Nina had previously stated they had no plans for a traditional wedding.
The Wedding Episode Story and Details
The marriage will take place in the episode titled “Confetti.” The plot of the episode involves a case that directly leads to their decision to tie the knot. According to the official description, the story begins when an undercover operation led by Nina goes wrong. The team must then work to convince their only witness to help them track down a criminal group at a cartel wedding. After this intense experience, Nina and Scola realize they are ready to get married.
The ceremony itself will be a simple courthouse wedding in New York City. This choice fits the characters perfectly, as Nina has never been one to dream of a big, fancy wedding. Photos released from the episode show the couple, along with their son Dougie, surrounded by their friends and FBI team members who act as their witnesses. The episode was written by Ryan Maldonado and Eduardo Javier Canto and directed by Alex Chapple.
A Look Back at Scola and Nina’s Relationship Journey
Scola and Nina’s path to marriage has been anything but straightforward. Their relationship started with a brief encounter years before they officially met while working a case together in FBI’s fourth season. Their connection grew, but it faced challenges, including an unplanned pregnancy. Nina became pregnant, and it took time for her to learn to trust and rely on Scola. She eventually gave birth to their son, Dougie, in the season 5 finale.
A significant moment in their relationship happened on the show FBI: Most Wanted. During a visit from Nina’s father in late 2024, he questioned why they weren’t married. Nina firmly explained that they were happy with their life as it was and had no plans to get married. She told her father, “I want a different life for my son and I am damned determined to give it to him”. This moment highlighted Nina’s independence and her desire to build a family on her own terms, separate from her difficult childhood.
