Is Riley hacking again?
Riley is a member of The Phoenix Foundation yes, but she comes from a computer hacking background. Fans of the series may remember that she used the named Artemis37 and even hacked the Pentagon for laughs once. Sadly, she was also blackmailed into hacking the NSA to save her mother's life. She had purposely hacked it wrong and was sent to spend five years in prison. She was released because MacGyver requested for it after she had completed 2 years because Jack Dalton had recommended her hacking skills.
Now the synopsis says that we're going to a royal Indian wedding and that Russ and Sophia will also see each other, but why on earth is Riley hacking something for? It's interesting because the synopsis of the next episode titled 'Barn Find + Engine Oil + La Punzonatura + Lab Rats + Tachometer' is already out and apparently Riley is part of a secret team of hackers? Episode 13 synopsis reads, "Riley reveals the truth about her secret team of hackers to Russ" - but we'll cross that bridge when we get there next week.This week's episode though seems to be an intense one and we can't wait for it. Anything Royal, has to be great, tight? Not to mention we're excited to see Swedish/British actress Arfwedson in the series again.
