Who is leaving covert affairs

That will be, in some ways, his challenge going forward. ORD It was genuine, but she was also pretty shocked in that moment, right? You want to be supportive of your friends who you really care about, but in the same respect, it is a bit of a gut-punch to her.

Her handler, Auggie, is leaving the CIA. Is he now a free man? An asset? We loved what he brought to the character. Auggie is not the only one departing though. Arthur Peter Gallagher has his eyes on the Senate after political advisor Karen Coughlin Ana Ortiz informs him of an upcoming vacant seat and convinces the intelligence committee to declassify his file about Teo so the public knows that Arthur didn't quit the CIA because of an affair.

Meanwhile, Calder Hill Harper is still at an unconscious Stephanie's Nazneen Contractor side while she recovers from last week's shooting. So what's next for Annie and Auggie? Are she and McQuaid really getting married?

Can Auggie stay away from the CIA? Co-creators and executive producers Matt Corman and Chris Ord answer our burning questions and tease what we could expect from a potential Season 6. There was a lot happening in the end there. What was your goal with this finale? It's quite different from your past ones. Matt Corman: We always want to leave the audience satisfied but with questions.

Even when we've done things that have been classified as cliff-hangers, we want the journey to have been a fun one and a worthy one, and one that the audience wants to come back for. We probably have left more questions than we ever have before with this one. But I don't think anyone saw a sort-of proposal happening. Corman: [ Laughs ] Good! In a fashion, it was a real [proposal]. He suggested they get married.

It was a very McQuaid way of doing it. She says, "Are you serious? They don't do things as conventionally as any other couple. If anything, we felt like that was the perfect time to propose.

This is what they do. This is their passion. Corman: To get a reservation at a fancy restaurant, it rings false. When you see them in the heat of the moment, for us, that seems the most appropriate time. I thought it was interesting how in the past two episodes, Annie made it clear that she wouldn't do something unless McQuaid was on board too. That's the complete opposite of what happened with Auggie in Paris. What do you think that speaks to about her relationship with McQuaid? Corman: Right.

We're happy you picked up on that. They definitely have a strong relationship. I think that it's probably true that Annie's changing a little bit too. She's opening up a little bit more and is being open to the type of questions that McQuaid is asking.

Some of them are existential life questions. You have to open yourself up to things, and we've definitely seen her do that this season slowly. So are they officially engaged? Corman: [ Laughs ] Let's just say she's trying to decide all those questions that have been posed to her.

Ord: It's a big decision in her line of work. She speaks to it on the bridge.
