Perhaps FBI season 8 will finally feature Maggie and OA getting together, especially given what’s going to happen to them during the premiere. The CBS cop TV show has had many hoping for a romance between Missy Peregrym and Zeeko Zaki’s characters since the very beginning. However, like many other couples in police procedurals, their romance has been a slow burn.
FBI has gone back and forth over whether a non-platonic relationship between Maggie and OA will ever come to be. Sometimes, it feels like friends are all they will ever be. And other times, it seems like a romance between the two FBI characters is inevitable. Hopefully, season 8 will offer more clarity, starting with the first episode.
FBI Season 8 Offers Maggie & OA The Perfect Backdrop To Realize Their Feelings For Each Other
Maggie & OA Get Trapped Together
During an interview with TVLine, FBI showrunner Mike Weiss teased what’s to come at the beginning of season 8. The premiere will pick up three days after Isobel’s collapse, but the status of her fate is “very much a question mark,” and the series won’t give viewers answers right away. As such, Jubal will take over as SAC (Special Agent in Charge).
Jubal’s first dilemma as SAC comes when Maggie and OA find themselves “stranded on an island in New York Harbor that has declared martial law” during the FBI season 8 premiere. According to the episode description, the two characters get trapped while working on a case involving a missing judge. As for what happens next, fans must tune in to learn more.
A scenario featuring forced proximity where two people have to rely on each other to survive is the perfect setup for any fictional romance. It has happened in numerous rom-coms and romance novels. So, who’s to say it won’t work for Maggie and OA in FBI? Their getting trapped on an island could be the best thing to ever happen to them.
Why FBI Season 8 Is The Right Time To Turn OA & Maggie’s Relationship Romantic
Eight Seasons Is A Long Time
While the topic of Maggie and OA’s relationship status in FBI is controversial, there is no better time for them to start dating than in season 8. For starters, eight seasons is a long time for a slow burn romance to finally come to fruition. At least, it’s a long time for TV couples who haven’t even kissed yet.
Additionally, Maggie and OA are in the perfect place to realize their feelings. Yes, OA is in a relationship, but Maggie is single. This could be just what she needs to recognize her feelings towards him. It also helps that the first episode of FBI season 8 includes the perfect moment for Maggie and OA’s romantic hopes.
