Spoilers for 'MacGyver' Season 5

While we are all here for the love triangle that is Angus ‘Mac’ MacGyver (Lucas Till), agent Desi Nguyen (Levy Tran), and hacker Riley Davis (Tristin Mays), we can't forget that defeating Codex is still on the team's agenda. Monica Macer, the executive producer of the series said aptly as per TV Line that "Codex is still a threat". If you forgot what that is, it is a hush government agency that has been the biggest threat to Mac and the Phoenix Foundation. Previews reveal that Codex ends up kidnapping Russ Taylor (Henry Ian Cusick), Phoenix's owner, but they have an exchange in mind. They want Murdoc (David Dastmalchian), who is the assassin that is being detained by Phoneix - they give him back, Taylor is back to them. "We love playing that gray area," Macer revealed.

Entertainment Tonight has also released an exclusive that has a first look at the Season 5 opener. The article reveals that Mac and Russ (Henry Ian Cusick) do their level best to find intel at the hotel spa. They find Vincent (Jessie T Usher) who ends up unconscious after drinking water that Mac slipped some pills in. The hotel is an "international hideout for criminals" and the team's there to find an informant that could help them take down Codex. But they might not be able to recognize their target.

Along with the possibility of romantic relationships, 'MacGyver' Season 5 will still proceed with the Codex storyline, but, we do hope that character arcs will be present while the team continues with what they have to do to infiltrate this hotel. According to reports, Mac and Russ struggle for a bit when security is close by. Codex has always been dangerous, so kidnapping is nothing, we just have to wait and watch if the team finds the informant they need.

The official synopsis for Season 4 reads, "Mac and the team infiltrate a glamorous hotel used as an international hideout for criminals to find a woman with vital information on Codex. However, their target has a new secret identity, including a completely new face." Watch the trailer below.
