SPOILER ALERT: Reading further will reveal key plot points from this week’s episode of “FBI”.
Viewers of “FBI” will be saying goodbye to a familiar character — but just for a while.
During the Tuesday, April 19, episode of the series, Special Agent Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym) was exposed to deadly sarin gas, and ended the episode in a hospital bed.
While Maggie will eventually recover, she’ll be out of commission for some time — including the last four episodes of the season.
This, as TVLine explains, is because Peregrym is taking maternity leave as she and husband Tom Oakley prepare to welcome their second child.
While the future fate of the series has yet to be decided, showrunner Rick Eid confirmed that if “FBI” is renewed for a fifth season, Peregrym will be back.
“The reality is that [Maggie’s recovery] is a journey, it’s going to be a while,” Eid told TVLine. “When she does come back, whenever that is, she’ll probably for the most part be the same ol’ Maggie, but she did go through something pretty traumatic. There are not only physical injuries but maybe some emotional ones, and that may affect how she sees the world and how she handles cases.”
