Peregrym, who previously took time off the CBS drama in Season 2 when she welcomed her first child, announced that she was pregnant on social media in February. She also approached showrunner Rick Eid with the news. “Basically, I told her, ‘Tell us what you want what you need, and we’ll do our best to accommodate it.’ She was feeling great and wanting to work for as long as she could,” Eid tells Variety. “We had a general idea when she was going to leave, and so there was just a question of finding the right episode to pair with that and the right plot to pair with that. I think the sarin gas idea seemed to be a exciting, thrilling way to send her off.”
