FBI's OA Undercover in Torturous Strike Team
6 Oct
Summary
- OA is undercover with a strike team that uses torture and covers up casualties.
- The strike team's actions are sanctioned under a national security exemption.
- Only Isobel and Maggie know the true nature of OA's undercover assignment.
The ninth season of FBI has commenced with a premiere episode that sees Agent OA continuing his deep undercover assignment. Months after the Season 8 finale, OA is embedded with Anna Vorpe's strike team. This team operates with extreme methods, including torture and the concealment of civilian casualties, principles that starkly conflict with OA's own ethical standards. The strike team's activities are shielded by a Title 50 national security exemption, granting them immunity and complicating any efforts to expose their actions.
As OA works to gather intelligence on Anna and her protectors, he faces increasing moral distress. The situation is further complicated by the fact that only Agents Isobel and Maggie are aware of his true objective. Other members of the FBI team, including Jubal and Scola, remain unaware of his undercover status. OA's recent defiance of ADIC Green could also pose future complications. Showrunner Mike Weiss highlighted the personal toll this assignment is taking on OA and the challenge of maintaining the deception.
