Did FBI simply introduce a brand new love curiosity for Maggie (Missy Peregrym)? It actually seems like that’s a robust chance.
The Season 7 Episode 12 case noticed Maggie join with a dispatcher who reached out after a younger lady known as searching for her; the agent had chased after her and her kidnapper within the workforce’s try to take down a trafficking ring. The episode was then spent making an attempt to rescue her (happily, there was a semi-happy ending, although the lady’s sister was killed). Throughout the investigation, the dispatcher, Joel, known as Maggie at one level for an replace, and Scola (John Boyd), who heard on speaker as he provided to assist, commented on it. “Pal of yours?” he requested. That was the primary signal that this won’t simply be colleagues working collectively on a case.
Then, on the finish of the episode, as Maggie waited on the hospital for the lady to wake after they’d discovered her, she overheard somebody asking for her. She acknowledged his voice: It was Joel, performed by Invoice Barrett. She was shocked to see him. “I used to be — effectively, I needed an replace on Annalise. My job was performed, when you discovered her, so I by no means acquired to know,” he defined. Maggie instructed him she’d be okay and that her sister didn’t make it, one thing she had but to inform Annalise. “That’s positively the toughest a part of my job,” she admitted. Joel famous that it “sounds such as you’re in for fairly an evening. … You realize what makes hospital espresso style higher?” “Powdered sugar?” she requested. “Undoubtedly that, and another person is paying,” Joel provided. “Come on, I’m shopping for.” She agreed and joined him.
It positively seems like we may see or no less than hear about Joel once more. Plus, there’s a tease from Peregrym to TV Insider forward of the season in September about potential romance for her character: “She’s made her job her precedence after her husband died [before the show’s storyline began], however having Ella [her late friend’s daughter she briefly took in] has opened her coronary heart up once more…so we’ll see.”
However ought to Joel be a brand new love curiosity for Maggie? She hasn’t been too fortunate in love (keep in mind Josh Segarra‘s Nestor?), and the present has by no means leaned too closely into romance, with brokers’ relationships tending to solely come up when there’s a connection to a case. Simply have a look at the truth that Isobel (Alana De La Garza) didn’t drop the surprising information that she’d gotten married till months after the actual fact! However with the present now in its seventh season (and renewed by means of its ninth), perhaps it’s time. What do you suppose? Tell us within the ballot and feedback part under.
