[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for FBI Season 6 Episode 3 “Stay in Your Lane.”]
Sorry, OA (Zeeko Zaki). We simply don’t assume this new romance goes to work out. The newest FBI episode not solely launched his new girlfriend, Gemma (Consolation Clinton), nevertheless it additionally, in the identical scene, arrange why it’s doomed to fail.
After Maggie (Missy Peregrym) noticed OA with Gemma, he advised her that they’ve been relationship for 3 weeks and he makes her comfortable. “You actually like her,” Maggie may inform. “She’s completely different. I’ve by no means met anyone like her. She grew up Higher East Facet, penthouses, non-public faculties, she’s all the way down to earth, enjoyable,” he mentioned. “Nearly too good to be true.” His associate agreed that she “most likely is.” So already, we’re taking a look at this relationship as one which seemingly received’t final.
Then, a bit later, OA remarked that Gemma known as him out for being “a child from Queens… I assume my worldview isn’t as subtle or broad as she would love.” And that was earlier than he found that her buddy, Kate, was relationship the suspect of their case. The brokers used that to their benefit, having access to their suspect by way of Kate, and that was when Maggie needed to remind OA, “being an FBI agent is not only a job. It’s a life. What’s the primary rule? By no means put your self in a compromised place. You’ve been relationship Gemma for what, three weeks? We already know one buddy buys coke, and the opposite one sells it.” OA insisted that wasn’t Gemma’s fault.
Then, Kate was shot throughout the case—and Gemma came upon she died from buddies as OA was attempting to speak to her about her “way of life” and have an “sincere dialog” along with her. Given how that scene performed out and the episode ended, we don’t assume he’s going to tell her that Kate was a part of his investigation. And with him withholding that and what Maggie reminded him of, this simply doesn’t seem to be a relationship that may final. That’s to not say both of them are guilty; his job and her buddies simply makes it too difficult.
However hey, possibly one thing can change. In any case, it will be nice to see one of many brokers make a relationship work with a civilian, particularly since that may be one thing new for FBI. And Kate’s dying may spur Gemma to make some modifications in relation to her buddies—in addition to encourage her buddies as properly—in such a approach that that wouldn’t be an issue for an FBI agent.
Plus, Zaki did inform us that the connection “has its ups and downs,” and proper now, it appears we’ve actually simply seen the latter (except we’re counting the primary time we see them collectively as the previous. For now, we will’t fully write off this relationship, nevertheless it’s actually not trying good.
