Countdown Romance Check-In: Could Shepherd and Bell Also Be a \u2018Thing\u2019\u2026? Violett Beane Weighs In<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The following contains spoilers from the Aug. 13 episode of Countdown<\/em>, now streaming on Prime Video.<\/strong><\/p>\n More like \u201cTask Force Horny<\/em>-cane,\u201d amirite?<\/p>\n More from TVLine<\/strong><\/p>\n Episode 10 of Prime Video\u2019s Countdown<\/em> not only pushed one pair of team members to the very cusp of romance, it also planted the seed for another<\/em> potential workplace romance.<\/p>\n With the Volchek threat neutralized \u2014 the bombs were (too easily?) defused, and Volchek shot dead \u2014 LAPD detective Mark Meachum (played by Jensen Ackles) and DEA agent Amber Oliveras (Jessica Camacho) got to finally kick back, on Mark\u2019s folksy front porch, and look to the future. Namely, they anticipated a future in which they build on the closeness that has developed between them.<\/p>\n Mark asked to put a pin in that idea for the time being, given that A) his romantic history is famously rocky and B) he has his tumor treatment and recovery still ahead of him \u2014 and nothing throws cold water on nascent romance like having to wipe drool from a partner\u2019s chin, he suggested. He also delicately declined Amber\u2019s offer to \u201cstay the night\u201d (!), but as a consolation prize extended his hand to her, to sweetly hold.<\/p>\n During that same shiny-happy coda capping the Volchek case, we saw FBI agents Keyonte Bell (Elliot Knight) and Evan Shepherd (Violett Beane) out to dinner at a restaurant, where they bumped into no less than the latter\u2019s unpredictable sister Molly (Michelle DeShon). Molly was pleased to meet \u201cthe famous Agent Bell,\u201d indicating that Evan has at the very least sung her \u201chot\u201d teammate\u2019s praises in private. Molly then blurted out the million-dollar Q \u2014 \u201cAe you two guys a thing?!\u201d \u2014 but Evan nixed that theory, claiming they\u2019re \u201cjust colleagues.\u201d<\/p>\n The way that Evan sometimes looks at Keyonte, though, sure suggests<\/em> that a spark is there\u2026.<\/p>\n Countdown Romance Evan Keyonte<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n This much we know.: As mentioned during that dinner, a post-Volchek Shepherd proceeded to make tracks for WFO (the FBI\u2019s Washington, D.C. Field Office), and asked Bell to keep an eye on her sister there in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n One 10-month time jump (!) later<\/a>, both Shepherd and Bell were invited onto SAC Nathan Blythe\u2019s (Eric Dane) new Task Force Armor<\/em>, which is investigating a brewing political assassination plot. Shepherd and Bell instantly began clicking again, with the latter pointedly saying how \u201cglad\u201d he was to see her again.<\/p>\n Keyonte also said with some urgency that he needs to update Evan on Molly, but the new, unfolding crisis pulled him into the field before he could elaborate.<\/p>\n Countdown Romance Shepherd Bell<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Does Countdown<\/em> cast member Violett Beane think that Evan and Keyonte are, or could be, a \u201cthing,\u201d as suggested by Molly?<\/p>\n \u201cOh my God, are<\/em> they\u2026?\u201d she remarked, with some (perhaps feigned) surprise, when presented by TVLine with that prospect.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know, they get along very well,\u201d Beane went on to note. \u201cThey\u2019re more similar than they think, they\u2019re both career-driven\u2026 and they\u2019re both little cuties. They\u2019re a little pair of cuties.<\/p>\n \u201cSo\u2026 let\u2019s see what happens with the two of them,\u201d she teased. \u201cWho knows<\/em> what could happen!\u201d<\/p>\n Best of TVLine<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for TVLine’s Newsletter<\/a>.
