"Yes. End it. Talk to each other, face it that u don't work and break up. Mac, Riley is waiting for u, she's your soulmate. Desi, someone else is waiting for u, they're your soulmate. Hopefully, there will be no more MacDesi episodes after 5.03 #MacGyver #MacRiley," wrote one fan. The obsession for #macriley to be a thing is heightened as another fan replied, "That's literally all we want....JUST THAT NOTHING ELSE #MacGyver". While we know that Riley moved out of Mac's, is there still a chance for them since we know that Riley has realized her feelings for Mac.

Many are expecting a mutual breakup between Desi and Mac in Episode 3, and as soon as the synopsis released fans of #Macriley took to Twitter to share their thoughts. People seem to be less interested in the Codex plot and more in who's heart Mac's going to be dealing with. "Murdoc will no longer be the villain it seems. Someone else will be for that particular episode. And I'm just looking forward to MacDesi mutually breaking up since that what seems like we're heading for," wrote one fan. We're all just waiting on the last curtain call, as this user pointed out - "Besides what's the point of a triangle if MD are together, Mac is Team Desi & Riley pines for him secretly? This plot already happened. Now we are getting to the next phase. All 3 are single, trying to figure out their feelings. Last phase is #MacRiley getting together.#MacGyver"
