'MacGyver' Season 5 Episode 5: When will it air? Here's what to expect from Codex, Mac and Desi
Spoilers for 'MacGyver' Season 5
The previous episode of the CBS hit drama 'MacGyver' Season 5 Episode 4 'Banh Bao + Sterno + Drill + Burner + Mason' sees Mac's meeting with Desi not going as planned when her brother needs their help after he's in trouble. Russ and Matty on the other hand ask an "old nemesis" for help when new recruitment gets kidnapped. Seeing a bit more of Desi's life with her family is greatly welcomed as we learn that she tries her best to fit in with her family, who obviously can't know that she's part of Team Phoenix. They instead put her brother on a pedestal and think their daughter works in 'security'. Although, Mac meeting Desi's parents is still a huge step in their relationship so we have to see what's next for them. The show is set to air a new episode next week.
When will Season 5 Episode 5 air?
The next episode titled 'Jack + Kinematics + Safe Cracker + MgKNO3 + GTO' will premiere on Friday, January 15, 2021. This will be the second episode of the new year. Although after the fact that episode 4 was full of action, we're expecting to see a bit more on the villain Mason, and the Mac-Desi relationship. Since we know that Riley is also in love with Mac, how she would react to the fact that Mac and Desi seem to be taking their relationship forward. The series also will most likely give us more on Codex as well, since there is the center plot most of the time, even as the Team Pheonix continues with other cases.
Fans are still asking for a #MacRiley scene though, so we're wondering if the upcoming episodes or the ones after it will satisfy fans with this. The show's synopsis for the episode states: "Using a cryptic postcard as their only clue, Mac and the team must solve a fallen friend's final case and bring him justice." Stay tuned for updates.
MacGyver' Season 5 airs on Fridays at 8 pm EST on CBS.
