FBI Special Agent  
Played by: Diane Farr

Full Name: Megan Reeves

Address: Unknown

Birthdate: Unknown

Early Life:

Megan is the youngest of four girls and grew up around New York.  She is a mess in high school to the embarrassment of her parents who belong to the country club and are listed on the Social Register.  She runs away at age sixteen and does not return home.  After a wake-up call, she realizes she has to make a choice about how her life will be. She attends college and feels guilty about how she treats a room-mate after the girl is raped.

She states many times she is her father’s last chance at a son and as a result is more of a tomboy than her sisters, playing every ball game known to man and knows about car maintenance and mechanics.

She dated a hockey player at some point, the relationship allowed her to learn French.

FBI Career:
Megan joins Don’s FBI team in late 2005 as a behavioral specialist after Terry Lake departs for Washington DC.

She has never lost anyone under he command before late 2005.

According to David she is one of the best shots in the office.

In early 2007, Megan is ordered by the FBI director to take an assignment with the Department of Justice; she is working with the CIA interrogating possible terror suspects. She doesn’t want to take the job, feeling it’s not a good fit for her but is overruled. Six weeks later Megan returns to the FBI office from the DOJ assignment.  She is second guessing her decisions about being an FBI agent and wonders if she can continue. By early 2008, she is trying to find a direction for her career and Larry suggests she either find new reasons to enjoy what she is doing for the FBI or find something new.

In mid 2008, Megan resigns from the FBI.  She plans to move to Washington and counsel women in prison.  She also wants to finish her doctorate.

Personal Life
:
As of early 2006 Megan is not in any serious relationships, though she has had at least one lunch with Professor Larry Fleinhardt.  She is given a promised ride in Larry’s 1934 Model A when they go out on their first date to an Ethiopian restaurant. By late 2006, she has had several dates with Larry, and in response to his need for structure, they work out a dating schedule.  She is proud of Larry’s achievement of doing experiments on the International Space Station, but admits to Don the timing is bad. She is aware Larry is spending time at a monastery as he leaves a note “in beautiful calligraphy” under her door.

By late 2007, Megan and Larry are closer together and seem to be reconnecting after Larry’s time on the ISS. Larry feels the relationship will continue even though Megan plans to move to Washington.

She is estranged from her father; she hasn’t spoken to him since 1996 because she can’t be what he envisioned her to be; she also says he has an anger management problem. However after a kidnapping case, Megan decides it’s time to go home and talk to her father about their issues.  She invites Larry to go with her.
