Spoilers for 'MacGyver' Season 5 

If you thought that the Codex storyline couldn't get more intense, we're here to tell you the best is yet to come, but you're going to have to wait a bit. While Episode 9 of the series will air this week, Episode 10 will only air after a week's break. Instead of a new episode, Season 4 Episode 11 titled 'Psy-Op + Cell + Merchant + Birds' will be rebroadcasted. But the week after you're in for a treat because Mac and the team's "most guarded secrets" are revealed when their comms are hacked. There are no official reasons as to why the series is going on break, but it could be the delay in production that occurred last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
