Missy Peregrym’s Maggie Bell wasn’t involved in a high-profile mafia case in the latest episode, of FBI Season 7, which made many wonder if she is leaving the show. Introduced in 2018, she is a main character and a special agent, who often teams up with OA. She played a significant role in the previous episode but her not being involved in another key FBI case has garnered concerns among fans. So, has Maggie Bell left the FBI? Here’s all you need to know about why she didn’t appear in the episode.
Why do fans think Missy Peregrym’s Maggie is leaving FBI in Season 7?
Peregrym’s Maggie’s sudden absence from Season 7 Episode 13 made fans wonder about her departure.
Episode 13 features the team looking into a high-profile mafia case involving the murder of two jurors. However, it’s learned that they weren’t the original targets. Things get personal for Scola when he discovers about the alleged involvement of a former drill instructor from his military academy. The previous episode’s child trafficking case was spearheaded by Maggie in OA’s absence. However, now that OA has returned, Maggie’s abrupt absence has sparked concern among viewers about what’s going on with the key characters.
Where was Maggie in FBI Season 7 Episode 13?
The episode didn’t provide any specifics for Maggie’s absence. However, her absence may stem from the FBI’s cast rotation policy amid budgetary concerns.
FBI and its spin-off, FBI: Most Wanted, are currently grappling with budgetary issues, which has led to the series undergoing many changes, as per Deadline. As a result, several main characters will probably appear in fewer episodes rather than all of them as a cost-saving measure. This clarifies that Maggie’s character hasn’t departed but was simply absent for a week. She will likely appear in the coming episodes. It is likely that other key characters will also be absent from a few episodes, probably two or three times, throughout the season to deal with the current financial issue at hand.
