'MacGyver' Season 4 Episode 11 Preview: Mac, Desi, and Riley are headed for some major relationship drama
The Codex mystery in 'MacGyver' Season 4 seems to be coming to a head with Episode 11 'Psy-Op + Cell + Merchant + Birds' putting the Phoenix Foundation in a position where they may be able to get some much-needed intel on the global terrorist outfit. The episode will see Angus "Mac" MacGyver (Lucas Till) going undercover in a fake prison to try and get information out of the Merchant (James Callis).
Considering the last time Mac met the Merchant, the Codex operative tried to kill Desi Nguyen (Levy Tran), this can't be easy for Mac. However, there are lives at stake here so he's going to have to do the best he can.
One of the sneak peeks from the episode that has made its way online shows Mac put on a pretty convincing performance. The clip also reveals that the Merchant is quite shaken by the whole ordeal, though that could all just be an act.
Another sneak peek also reveals that Wilt Bozer (Justin Hires) is pretty much running the show. We're guessing his experience as a filmmaker might come in handy here but in any case, we're quite glad to see Bozer get his share of the limelight.
While the psyops mission is underway, it looks like there's also going to be some relationship drama for Mac. A sneak peek shows Mac admitting to Desi that he loves her and the two share a kiss while Riley Davis (Tristin Mays) looks on wistfully.
While Mac and Desi's relationship is quite cute, fans have wanted to see Mac get with Riley for a long time. Now it appears at least Riley may be interested in that happening though it doesn't look like Mac reciprocates her feelings. That's bound to cause some major drama on the show moving forward.
Here's the synopsis for 'Psy-Op + Cell + Merchant + Birds': "Mac is placed inside a fake prison cell with a top Codex operative, The Merchant, in order to gain his trust and get intel on their next move."
'MacGyver' Season 4 airs new episodes every Friday at 8 pm ET, exclusively on CBS.
