Speaking with TV Insider, the TV personality first breaks down the setup of the upcoming FBI episode, revealing how her character becomes potentially compromised. She shares:
“When an undercover agent is killed, it’s revealed very quickly that the [terrorists] knew that he was FBI. As a result, some other agents could be compromised. When the team learns that Maggie is one of those agents, they can’t get to her right away to give her the heads-up! When you’re undercover and out of reach, you’re the one who has to call in every six or so hours, which she can’t here.”
For more context, in “Covered,” the said undercover agent is killed in the field, leading the team to make the unnerving discovery that the identities of multiple undercover agents have been compromised, including Maggie, who has been actively working to infiltrate an eco-terrorist group. Meanwhile, the team enlists the help of an agent, Dani Rhodes (Emily Alabi), whose cover was blown, to not only save their own but to aid in uncovering who was behind the leak.
Maggie Is “Potentially in Trouble” When ‘FBI’ Returns
“But they’re going to try to make a statement that is potentially going to hurt people. So I’m trying to infiltrate them so that I can stop that from happening.”
Unfortunately, as Maggie is focused on this group, she “has no idea what’s going on around her and that she’s potentially in trouble,” according to the FBI star, who also hinted that the situation ultimately affects the agent’s personal life.
“Obviously, this is a really dangerous situation, and it gets worse fast. I will say that it affects her personal life.”
