Spoilers ahead for 'MacGyver' Season 4 Episode 3 'Kid + Plane + Cable + Truck'

Another week, another fantastic episode of 'MacGyver'. With Episode 3, the show took things a little slower than usual with a slightly smaller threat, as compared to what Angus 'Mac' MacGyver (Lucas Till) is used to dealing with on a weekly basis.

'Kid + Plane + Cable + Truck' was one of those episodes that don't really add much to the overarching plot but still delivers a deep understanding of the characters that make it all worthwhile. The fans are loving the episode and quite a few have taken to Twitter and other social media to discuss it.

"I laughed, was in my feels, & watched more than one scene with my hands over my eyes!" one fan wrote on Twitter. "In other words, it was a fantastic ep!" the fan added.

"@MacGyverWriters @MacGyverCBS @lucastill That's another fly-tastic episode," another fan tweeted. "You guys never stop making my MacHack list grow longer. Well done Cast, Crew and Guests. Can't wait for more #MacGyver Have a wonderful weekend. God bless."

"Such a great episode tonight!" yet another fan wrote. "High intensity action, mystery, suspense, and also a great balance with added sass and heart. 10/10 as always!"

Henry Ian Cusick's Russ Taylor was really fun in the episode and also showed some growth and maturity, stepping down as leader of the Phoenix Foundation. The viewers loved the move and one fan wrote, "I think Russ is wise to step down a bit. Matty is more calculated at calling the shots, whereas Russ tends to be a bit impulsive. They each have their strengths, and I think he made the right choice! I look forward to them butting heads some more though."

"Something I really enjoy about the Russ character, the writers aren't trying to make him all-powerful or all-knowing," the same fan added in a separate tweet. "He's resourceful and smart, but he knows how to delegate and look to his team for solutions. So well-written and well-acted!"

'MacGyver' Season 4 airs new episodes every Friday at 8/7 c only on CBS.
