S07.E16: Covered

[Snazzy Daisy]

Quote

When an undercover FBI agent is killed in the field, the team makes 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 Special Agent Dani Rhodes (Emily Alabi), whose cover was also blown, to not only save their own but to aid in uncovering who was behind the leak.

Good episode - interesting case with a lot of twists, started out with the mob murder, then the undercover identities being leaked, then the ecoterrorist plot. A lot in it but it flowed well from one plot point to the next and was never confusing. Good twist that the guy who leaked the info was dying and that’s why he did it, he wanted the money and didn’t care about consequences, but he sure didn’t cover his tracks well, and now he’ll die in a cell. Nice to see all of the characters in the episode, although Jubal and the analysts at headquarters didn’t get as much to do as usual. I liked the new agent pretty good and I think she’ll be a decent fit to the team.

Maybe it was something in the direction, script, acting, or camera work, but I was expecting Rhodes to be related to the leaking of undercover identities.

Anybody catch that amateur-hour edit in the opening scene, when the undercover agent takes a shot to the head?

I was shocked -- shocked I tell you -- that Maggie Bell was the eighth agent to have her cover blown.

And OA pulling Maggie out of the burning van at the last second.  Boy, I didn't see that coming.

Maggie with new hair, nose ring etc and still stubborn AF. Not suffering from (at least) first-degree burn after being rescued from the burning van, come on… 🙄

So, which one is it, Maggie? Are you hiding from Joel?

When Dani Rhodes yells “stop, FBI” from several blocks away, I take it as her initiation ritual into the team. Every agent has to say it, right? 🤣

Kinda expecting to see Lauren Patten as a badass villain but Josie is so vanilla. Bummer!

I didn't know the plot ahead of time so I thought Maggie had the week off until someone said "who's the 8th agent" and she made a dramatic late entrance. Only Kelly had the week off this time.

That's the universal cue for the overused scenario  of "We've got a runner."

And then be lectured by Scola.  Heh.  

The bad guy douses the van with gasoline, lights it off, and Maggie is almost immediately rescued by OA and the team.  Yet, they can't find the bad guy who couldn't have gotten very far.  

The eco-terrorists are pissed off about the destruction of Earth by fossil fuels, so they drive their van to the heist and their RV out into the woods to plan their big raid.

I noticed Maggie ditched her nose ring when she got back to the office.  Must.  Be.  Professional.

Maybe it's where I live, but I don't see too many 42-year-old women rocking nose rings.

I think they cut away from the JOC right at that moment because they didn't want us to see people in the background collecting on office pool bets once they found out it was Maggie.

I took it to mean that Scola finally had a new partner. With two stupid wisps of hair hanging down on the sides of her face. Ridiculous.

Weak episode, I thought.
