After OA and Maggie are ordered to fake their field reports, he blows a gasket and refuses. He even tells Green that he’s a disgrace to the bureau. Immediately, Green relieves him of duty and tells him to surrender his gun and badge. OA says some quick goodbyes and storms out of 26 Fed.
But that’s not all.
While he’s drinking his sorrows away at a bar, Anna approaches him to offer him a job on her strike team. He’d be working for the DOD, and it’s off the books. In the shadows. OA plays it cool as she slips him a card with info on it. He picks up his phone, and at first it seems like he’s calling to accept the position. Only it’s Maggie and Isobel on the other end of the line. And in one shocking final twist, OA says, “Anna made her move. I’m in.”
“I think the saying is: ‘If you can’t beat them, join them,'” says Zaki. “But with OA’s meteoric moral compass, it will be fun to watch how far we can bend it to save the day and do what is right. It’s always fun to see the team in a way you haven’t before, and I think this is a great way to do that and start Season 9.”
When asked what the upcoming Season 9 of “FBI” will look like, showrunner Mike Weiss offers up the following tease.
“We’re going to start Season 9 with OA having been gone for weeks or months,” he says. “He’s deep undercover. No one has seen him. I don’t even know yet, because it’s early days, but we’ll have to figure out a way… how can you report back to your team when you’re embedded with, as we’ve seen, really, really dangerous, capable military operators. So that’s going to be difficult. Just to get him and Maggie in the same room will be a challenge in a fun way, at the top of Season 9.
“There will be some fallout from some of the other characters who were not brought in on the plan,” he adds, “and I think getting to see Scola and Jubal be like, ‘Hey man, that sucked that you didn’t tell us that you were only fired for pretend,’ will be difficult, but fun for the audience.”
