Dating can be hell for many people. There are various levels to it; sometimes, it can be hard to ascend all of them. A lot of couples don’t work out, and in most cases, everything ends at that point, but what happens when things take a dark turn? The team’s case in FBI Season 7, Episode 18, “Blkpill,” explores the dark side of dating. “After two women are brutally murdered via napalm, Maggie (Missy Peregrym) and OA (Zeeko Zaki) are led to a dating site where they discover a group of scorned users who are targeting women who reject them,” reads the official logline. However, it won’t be all dark gloom because the show has some healthy relationships. Things between Maggie and Joel (Bill Barret), the 911 operator, have been going well, and they’ve reached a stage where some conversations need to happen. CBS released a sneak peek of the episode airing tonight, April 15, in which Joel seeks clarity from Maggie.

When two people in a romantic relationship hang out, it’s an opportunity to learn about each other, especially if the relationship is new. Maggie and Joel grab coffee in the video below, and she learns that he likes his coffee very sweet, given the amount of sugar he’s dumping in it. Joel explains that one of his biggest fears is failing to answer calls in the dispatch center as quickly as he should. If sugar gets him there, so be it. He eases into his real reason for meeting Maggie. “The whole time you were undercover, I was worried. I didn’t know who to call or if you were okay,” he admits. “I was okay,” Maggie assures him. “Right. But, see I didn’t know that,” he says. This reveals that Joel has grown to care for Maggie, and not hearing from her for three weeks worried him. Maggie acknowledges his fears, but when a call comes in, she has to respond and promises to revisit the conversation as soon as possible.

Who Is Joel In ‘FBI’ Season 7?

Joel first appeared in the “Manhunt” episode of FBI Season 7. He was a 911 operator who one of the victims Maggie had been trying to save reached out to and asked to be connected with Maggie. Joel put all his skills to use to keep the victim, Analis, on the line until Maggie found her. Later, Maggie and Joel met for the first time in the hospital as they both watched Analis fight for her life. The sneak peek above is a callback to their first interaction, where coffee and powdered sugar came up. Except this time, the coffee is better because it’s made professionally.
