Tonight, fans will not only say goodbye to the fourth season of Numb3rs, but will also bid farewell to yet another cast member.  After Sabrina Lloyd left the show in the first season, Diane Farr has stepped in to fill the void as FBI agent and psychological profiler Megan Reeves.  But after three years on the police procedural drama, however, the female lead has opted not to renew her contract.

In tonight's season ender called "When Worlds Collide,” Don (Rob Morrow) and Charlie (David Krumholtz) clashes over their conflicting beliefs as they look into a case involving national security.  At the same time, Megan faces a crisis of conscience and leaves the team to pursue another occupation.

Fans will just have to stay tuned on tonight's season finale to find out how this will pan out. Meanwhile, Farr reveals to TV Guide her reason for leaving Numb3rs has nothing to do with creative differences or the fact that she's expecting twins.

“It was actually none of the above.  I'm not leaving because I'm having babies.  I'm leaving because I'm going to do a different job.  I think after three years, most actors feel the need to see what else they can use their brain for.  Numb3rs was such a perfect job.  It was easy and it was fun and it was good people.  I pitched an idea to a boss that I had before.  He liked [it], and I decided to go with it,” Farr told TV Guide.

Farr, who also appeared on Rescue Me, is referring to her new one hour drama that doesn't involved guns or fire hoses.  And while she looks forward to more new projects, she still acknowledges that fact that her Numb3rs stint was the “perfect job.”

“It was easy and fun — and if anyone's not satisfied with the end of Megan and Larry's story, I hope they understand that after the strike there was very little time to write something fantastic. It's not because people didn't like Larry [Peter MacNicol] or Megan,” she said.
