Spoilers are forward for Episode 18 of FBI Season 7 on CBS, referred to as “Blkpill” and accessible streaming subsequent day with a Paramount+ subscription.
Followers may safely guess from the primary couple of minutes of “Blkpill” within the 2025 TV schedule that FBI was getting significantly ugly with the murders of the week. Ladies have been being doused with napalm after which burned alive, and the investigation led Maggie and OA to a relationship web site. The victims have been being focused by males they’d rejected, and CBS’ hit drama did not maintain again from exhibiting how horrifying it was. After all the pieces began unhealthy after which simply received worse, my fingers have been crossed that Maggie’s awkward date with Joel initially of the episode wasn’t going to lead to an sad ending.
The date with Joel wasn’t awkward due to my authentic suspicions that he was a secret unhealthy man, however really integrated some good continuity into the serialized present. After they bantered a bit about why Joel pours a lot sugar into his espresso earlier than going to his job as a 911 dispatcher, he identified that he had no concept what was happening together with her whereas she was undercover in a current episode.
That episode had actually served to introduce S.W.A.T. alum Emily Alabi as Agent Dani Rhodes to seemingly change Katherine Renee Kane‘s TIff, but it surely got here with one other near-death expertise for Maggie. In true Maggie type, she was composed by the point she was chatting with Joel over espresso, and insisted that she had been effective.
He identified that he had no approach of understanding that, and the 2 went their separate methods for the day with an enormous unresolved subject. Maggie tends to be pretty unfortunate in love, and “Blkpill” was heavy sufficient that I may think about it ending on an official cut up from Joel. As an alternative, she realized that she needed to take the time with Joel, and advised him as a lot over dinner shortly earlier than the ultimate credit rolled. She mentioned:
I have never dated very a lot since my husband. And I do not wanna sound like my mother and father, however relationship actually is not what it was. And I believe that if you discover any individual you join with, you gotta make it work. Now, I haven’t got any recommendation for you when it comes to the way you wrap your head round what I do for a residing. However how do you are feeling about figuring it out collectively?
Joel responded by saying that he’d “like that,” and the episode ended with the FBI main girl smiling at any individual she cares about relatively than interested by girls being burned alive with napalm as an accelerant. Does this imply that Maggie and Joel are going to fall in love and change into as strong as OA and Gemma are, the occasional motion movie-esque practice hijacking apart? In fact not, but it surely was a aid to see a contented ending for Maggie, full with a nod to her origin with the loss of life of her husband.
See what’s subsequent for Maggie and Co. with new episodes of FBI on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, forward of FBI: Worldwide at 9 p.m. ET and FBI: Most Wished at 10 p.m. ET… for the remainder of the 2024-2025 TV season anyway.
