As a dedicated gamer of the Dick Wolf TV universe for over a decade, I must confess my excitement when Guy Lockard, a familiar face from the bygone days of Chicago Med, resurfaced in FBI Season 7 as Clay, an old buddy of OA’s from his army days. However, my elation was quickly tempered with a sense of unease as the intricate web of connections between these shows unfolded, and the potential trouble that comes with Clay’s return to OA’s life.
Warning: spoilers ahead for Episode 3 of FBI Season 7, called “Détente.”
In the fall 2024 TV lineup, CBS’ FBI began its seventh season, marking the departure of actress Katherine Renee Kane, who played Tiff, Scola’s partner. Her exit leaves a void, but a new character, who has appeared in recent episodes and is recognized by fans of Dick Wolf’s TV universe (which includes FBI and NBC’s One Chicago shows), has been introduced to stir up trouble for OA, and it seems this turmoil may persist. I, for one, am excited to welcome the returning actor from Chicago Med back into the Wolf universe, but the new character’s antics already seem to be causing long-lasting issues.
Previously known as Dr. Dylan Scott on Chicago Med, I, Guy Lockard, bid farewell to One Chicago in the Season 8 premiere. Surprisingly, I reappeared in the second episode of FBI’s seventh season, portraying an old army buddy named Clay, of OA’s. So far, OA hasn’t revealed much about Clay, but we know that he once saved OA’s life, and at the end of Episode 2 last week, OA agreed to bend the rules to help him out. If you missed it, you can catch up on both my run on Chicago Med with a Peacock subscription, or revisit Episode 2 streaming with a Paramount+ subscription.
It soon became apparent that Clay wasn’t a temporary character, as “Détente” showed. The two longtime companions were seen strolling through New York City streets in the opening scene of the episode, with Clay attempting to justify the similarities between his job at Pyramid Security and OA’s work with the FBI by emphasizing only the difference in paychecks. However, OA countered this claim by highlighting other distinctions.
Hey Clay, let me set this straight – I’m all about upholding justice and helping folks out here in the gaming world. You, on the other hand, seem to be more focused on padding those corporate pockets. Frankly, I don’t see what our discussion has to do with that, but here we are.
When the secretive actions fit OA better, Clay argued. And OA felt it was best not to get involved with the operation he’d assisted in. Later, when Pyramid surfaced during the investigation, OA sought advice from an old friend for information, but didn’t want to reveal Clay’s identity to Isobel and Jubal without facing repercussions. Maggie criticized him, saying it wasn’t typical of him. After discussing with his partner, he admitted everything to Isobel and decided to make Clay a confidential informant instead of pretending he was an unnamed source.
In a way that feels overly simple and careless to me, Clay agreed to the CI deal. This ease makes me doubt that OA is entirely out of danger, just because he confessed to Isobel. Additionally, when Clay described their agreement as reminiscent of “old times,” following what OA had said about witnessing how private contractors operate overseas, it seems clear that the agent isn’t off the hook yet. Despite my excitement over seeing Guy Lockard back on our screens after his departure from Chicago Med, I can’t help but worry for OA with Clay in his life!
