The Rookieseason 7 ended on a huge cliffhanger with Oscar escaping prison, bringing back FBI Agent Matthew Garza into the fold. Agent Garza is an FBI Supervisory Special Agent, working at the FBI Los Angeles Field Division - Special Investigative Unit as the Team Leader.He was first seen in the backdoor pilot forThe Rookie: FedsinThe Rookieseason 4, episode 19, titled “Simone.” He appeared in the backdoor pilot alongside Simone Clark (Niecy Nash), both essential characters inThe Rookie: Feds.
During his time onThe Rookie: Feds,Garza was reluctant to welcome Clark, as she was a rookie FBI agent and an older one he wasn’t too keen about working with. However, Garza had some issues, as his supervisor, Tracey Chiles, attempted to blackmail Carter Hope for information so she could get his unit shut down. Garza was then arrested for spying and had to receive immediate surgery after he collapsed at the grave of the deceased woman he dated.Despite being a huge target onThe Rookie: Feds, Garza should still return toThe Rookie.
Agent Garza Made An Appearance At The End Of Season 7, Episode 18
As ifThe Rookieseason 7 finale wasn’t riveting enough, the audience got to see the return of Agent Garza. Although the scene was short, his return opened the door to exciting possibilities for Garza and maybe otherThe Rookie: Fedscast members. As one of the standout characters, Garza’s appearance maynot have been just a simple cameo.His interaction with the cast at the end of the season hinted at unfinished businessand possibly indicated a larger role in season 8. While his presence didn’t change the season’s plot, it did seem like the writers were laying the groundwork for something more.
Bringing Garza back forThe Rookieseason 8 is smart, considering how his character resonated with fans. His character development fromFedscould add fresh dynamics to the series. Additionally, Garza’s reappearing in the season 7 finale could blend the storylines from both shows, which couldoffer closure to those who wanted aFedsseason 2.The Rookieseason 8 is an opportunity to deep dive more into Garza’s character.
Fans Seem Excited About Agent Garza’s Potential To Make Appearances In Season 8
A Reddit thread started bySerious-Profit-1626shared how they’d like tosee more agents fromFedsappear inThe Rookieseason 8. While no one mentioned Garza specifically besides the OP, a majority of the users did say they’d like to see moreThe Rookie: Fedsagents return. As a fan of both shows as well, Garza would be my number one pick to return from the spinoff series. Since he appeared in the season 7 finale and had a pretty integral part at the end,it would make the most sense for Garza to make a return over the otherFedscast members.
Will Any Other The Rookie: Feds Agents Make A Return In Season 8?
Since several cast members fromFedsappeared in season 7, it’s more than likely they will make an appearance inThe Rookieseason 8. While nothing has been confirmed about Garza, the way season 7 ended was definitely a setup for him to have a role in season 8. OtherFedscharacters who could make a return include Laura Stensen (Britt Robertson) and Brendon Acres (Kevin Zegers). Both had pretty significant roles in season 7, with Acres appearing in more than one episode last season. While casting isn’t confirmed, I hopeGarza will at least return forThe Rookieseason 8.
