Role in the film[]
Following the Attack in Rome, Tess believed that Dominic Toretto and his crew were framed for the attack by an unknown enemy. She arrived at the Agency Headquarters where she met with the new leader and successor to her father, Aimes. Aimes believed that Dom and the crew were responsible for the attack and gave Tess a briefing on their history in cars and heists.
Tess tried to reason with Aimes and get him to think like her father did but Aimes was adament that the team must be stopped and dispatched teams to apprehend them, as he seemingly believed that the Agency's ties to Dom's crew would cause substantial fallout for the Agency. Unbeknownst to Tess, Aimes had been in partnership with Dante Reyes since the Vault Heist in 2011 and was using the Agency to help Dante kill the family.
Not being able to change Aimes' mind, Tess left the Agency and set out on her own path to help the family. She stole God's Eye from the Agency's plane and used it to track Dom.
She tracked down Dom in Naples, Italy using God's Eye and met him in a pub where he was drinking alone, waiting for a meeting with Mr. Nobody, following the arrest of Letty Ortiz and the disappearance of Roman Pearce, Tej Parker, Han Seoul-Oh, and Ramsey. She warned Dom that Aimes was coming after him with everything, and told him that Dante was the son of Hernan Reyes, and that she was not aware of her father's whereabouts or if he was alive.
Dom then requested Tess' help in freeing Letty from the black-site prison she was being held in, but Tess said she couldn't do that. Dom told her that she can and gave her his cross necklace to give to Letty when she saw her. Tess obliged with Dom's request.
Tess tracked Letty down to the Agency's black-site prison in Antarctica and approached her with the message from Dom. Letty recognised Tess as an ally and requested her help in escaping the prison. Tess agreed but told her it'll hurt, and she stabbed Letty and then staged the scene to look like Letty fought back. Multiple guards freed Tess who left the prison, knowing that Letty would be taken to a medical lab for recovery, giving her a better chance to escape.
Tess then tracked Dom to Rio de Janeiro after he was apprehended by the Agency and then ambushed by Dante and his henchmen. Tess arrived and killed many of the mercenaries and then jumped onto his car, much to Dante's annoyance. As Tess attempted to apprehend Dante, she was shot by a sniper in a helicopter.
Dante then stole God's Eye from her, and after shooting Aimes and failing to shoot Isabel Neves, he fled in a helicopter. Dom and Aimes joined forces against Dante, and Dom asked for Isabel's help getting Tess to the hospital, giving Isabel the chance to do something noble as her sister would've. Isabel fled with Tess.
Trivia[]
- Brie Larson revealed her character's name on Instagram in September 2022.
- The character trailer for Tess in Fast X showed her exiting a new model Nissan Z, however no car of the sorts was used in the movie, this is likely due to Brie Larson being an ambassador for the Nissan Z .
