Fans are intrigued by the future of the team and Robyn's personal life, as Aunt Viv and Robyn’s daughter Delilah have discover her secret vigilante job. As the season unfolds, revelation will no doubt intensify the family angst and add an extra layer of drama to the series.
Tonight’s episode titled “Haunted Heights” will see McCall investigate a death in an apartment building where residents believe the structure is haunted and Aunt Vi will help Delilah get ready for her senior photos.
Week after week, this series packs on the action as well as the drama. The series continues to engage and entertain viewers as McCall comes across to most as an average single mom quietly raising her teenage daughter, but to a trusted few, she is "The Equalizer", an anonymous guardian angel and defender of the downtrodden, who's also dogged in her pursuit of personal redemption. Latifah, the award winning Hollywood vet has continued to level up each season, bringing physicality and a calm demeanor under pressure during some of the most thrilling and high stakes scenes as Robyn.
