In FBI season 8<\/a>, episode 14, “Forgiven,” Maggie’s sister, Erin, was kidnapped by Ray DiStefano, sending the federal agent on a massive hunt to save someone she cares deeply about. Unfortunately, Maggie was too late, and the episode ended with the discovery that Erin had been killed.<\/p>\n Maggie, played by Missy Peregrym, will be absent from the next episode. However, once she rejoins her team the following week, all of her co-workers will be “rightfully concerned,” according to Martinez, who spoke to TV Insider<\/a> about how everyone will react to the tragedy.<\/p>\n Martinez explained that when someone experiences “something so traumatic,” like Maggie did, “you feel each other out, you feel when someone is going through something very heavy.”<\/p>\n The FBI team wants to be there for Maggie as she mourns her sister’s loss, but each person is “going to react differently in how they give a person space.” So it’s all about finding that right balance between showing support and allowing Maggie to process her pain without being smothered by everyone around her.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you experience something so traumatic like losing a sister…you feel each other out, you feel when someone is going through something very heavy. So I do think the team is rightfully concerned, and also each person\u2019s going to react differently in how they give a person space. So, yeah, I think the team wants to make sure that Maggie\u2019s good.\u201d<\/p>\n Martinez’s character, Eva Ramos, is a new character on FBI, so her approach to the situation will be much different from her co-workers, who have known Maggie for years. In fact, Eva will have to tread lightly, even though there’s a “desire for connection, the desire for partnership.”<\/p>\n From Maggie’s perspective, it’s possible that she won’t be as trusting of Eva since that deeply embedded connection hasn’t formed between the two women yet, according to Martinez.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a bit like treading lightly. But the desire for connection, the desire for partnership, I think that\u2019s always very active for [Eva]. So I think that\u2019s just\u2014how much is Maggie going to trust her to come in also?\u201d<\/p>\n In fact, Peregrym recently made a similar comment<\/a> about trying to figure out who Maggie can trust while she’s navigating the aftermath of her sister’s death. It appears that she was referring to Eva.<\/p>\n With Maggie gone in the next episode of FBI to handle funeral arrangements, Eva will take center stage as she investigates a drug kingpin from her past. The newbie feels torn between properly completing the task at hand and acting on her own need for revenge.<\/p>\n Then, in the episode that airs on March 30, Maggie returns, but there’s a shakeup in the latest case, as Deputy Chief of Station Nikki Reynard (Necar Zadegan) from the new FBI spinoff CIA<\/a>, is called in to help following a double homicide.<\/p>\n
