On the Tuesday, October 11 episode of FBI, “Victim,” OA (Zeeko Zaki) finds himself in an unexpectedly tough spot when he’s mugged on the way to work.

“In this episode, you really get to see OA hit the entire spectrum of his possible emotional journey,” Zaki previews to Give Me My Remote. “I’m really excited about the episode, because in playing a more vulnerable side of OA, I am equally as excited to see if I got to pull it off; it was definitely a very intense filming experience. But the episode itself really, really was eye-opening to make and hopefully to watch.”

FBI Zeeko Zaki OA Maggie

“Fear Nothing” – OA is forced to confront one of his biggest fears when the team discovers that deadly sarin gas may have been sold to terrorists, on the CBS Original series FBI, Tuesday, April 19 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

When FBI needed to temporarily write out Maggie for Missy Peregrym‘s maternity leave, the series’ writers had to find a way to have the character plausibly be away for a few months. (Peregrym announced she’ll miss the first few episodes of season 5, but return from her maternity leave in September.) As a result, in “Fear Nothing,” the federal agent was locked in a room and exposed to sarin gas—while her partner, OA (Zeeko Zaki), desperately tried to free her.

Ultimately, he was successful (and able to administer an antidote to the poison), but the damage was done, and Maggie was left comatose. Though the doctor was hopeful she’d eventually recover, OA was determined to see his partner to see how she was doing for himself.
