Megan Reeves (portrayed by Diane Farr) is a fictional FBI psychological profiler working with Don Eppes' team in the series Numb3rs. She serves as the head of the team when Eppes is away.
Megan is persistent in her career and "calls things as she sees them." ("Assassin") She teaches krav maga at the YMCA ("Rampage"), and she is one of the best marksmen on Don's team ("Two Daughters"). She speaks fluent French as shown in "Brutus". In "Mind Games," she reveals she is estranged from her father, with whom she has not spoken to in ten years. She has three older sisters ("Mind Games"). In "Spree," Megan stated that many of her life decisions were made when she was 15 years old, like leaving her home; she does not regret these choices. She previously did a stint with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), the same unit which CBS's Criminal Minds focuses on.
In "Obsession", she kindled a friendship with Larry Fleinhardt by admiring his classic car, agreeing with him that it is art. The friendship had progressed after a little while to a few lunches ("Toxin"), a dinner date at an Ethiopian restaurant ("Dark Matter") and a late-night breakfast at a 24-hour café ("Spree") where Larry compared her layers of complexity, which he finds fascinating, to the M57 Nebula. She hopes that their "orbits will meet again soon."
In "Longshot", Megan stated that if Larry needs more structure in his life she's fine with that and, with Larry's schedule, they can have dinner and a movie together every other Friday and lunch on Thursdays. She is aware others find their relationship odd but does not care as they have decided to make it more serious.
In "Killer Chat", it is revealed that she and Larry have spent so much time together since his soon-to-be departure into space (on the ISS) that they have started to share each others' habits, which is shown when she says that Larry is like a "star collapsing in on itself". Megan was saddened over Larry's dismay involving his possible dismissal from the space mission and approached Charlie for help.
Megan drives an Acura with a navigation system, according to Colby Granger.
In "Democracy," it is revealed that the FBI Director has been trying to get Megan to join a special task force for the United States Department of Justice. Megan tells Don that it "probably isn't for me". She even dodges calls from the Director about the assignment. However, at the end of the epiosde, the Director calls and tells her that she never really had a choice about the assignment, and she is extremely unhappy about her new assignment. No details about the assignment are given; however, Cheryl Heuton has stated that details regarding this task force will be revealed in Season Four. This arc has been written in to accommodate Diane Farr's maternity leave, just as Larry's trip to the ISS was written to accommodate Peter MacNicol's recent role on "24".
