Sudden ‘FBI’ Death Spells Big Changes for Agent Maggie Bell

The show just ended its ‘Rookie Blue’ reunion with a dark twist.

So much for that Rookie Blue reunion. FBI just dealt a devastating blow to Special Agent Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym) just two episodes after reuniting her with old friend and coworker Jessica Blake (Charlotte Sullivan). It was a reunion both onscreen and off, since Peregrym and Sullivan starred together on Rookie Blue for six seasons, but it was unfortunately short-lived. Jessica died at the end of Tuesday’s episode (“Unforeseen”), leaving behind a young daughter without a mother.

The episode was tense all the way through as the team chased down whoever was behind a series of ricin attacks across the city. While investigating a sort of improvised ricin lab, Jessica collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. Upon waking up, she learned it wasn’t the ricin that made her sick. She was diagnosed with “a mild aneurysm” and needed exploratory surgery. But first, she’d have to name an emergency contact and a guardian for Ella should anything happen, and she named Maggie.

The Canadian drama series Rookie Blue aired from 2010 to 2015 and followed a group of rookie cops in Toronto, fresh out of the academy. Peregrym starred as Andy McNally, and Sullivan played friend and colleague Gail Peck.
