After dropping a major bomb in Episode 5, 'MacGyver' Season 4 is all set to move on to its next chapter and it looks like it's going to be all about Russ Taylor (Henry Ian Cusick). The episode will be introducing Amanda Schull ('Suits', 'Pretty Little Liars') as Russ' first love Emilia.

Earlier, Henry Ian Cusick had teased in an interview with MEA WorldWide (MEAWW) that the episode would shed some light on Russ' recent past and reveal what really makes him tick but that's not the only thing the episode will have to deal with. 

Right now, the biggest question going into the episode is if Matty Webber (Meredith Eaton) is really a traitor and the head of Codex? Well, it looks like we may have an answer.

A sneak peek from the episode has surfaced online revealing that the Phoenix Foundation's computers were hacked by someone using an Estonian keyboard and that Matty may have been framed.

Of course, there's the possibility that the hacking itself might have been faked to maintain Matty's cover but we really hope she truly is innocent.

A second sneak peek from the episode reveals that Emilia is a doctor who is being forced to work for the bad guys. In the scene, Russ and the rest of the team use some clever misdirection to find Emilia, ending the clip with an emotional hug between Russ and his beloved.

Here's the official synopsis for 'MacGyver' Season 4 Episode 6 'Right + Wrong + Both + Neither': "When Russ' first love, Emilia, is kidnapped by the same rebels he fought during his private military contract days, he takes the Phoenix team to a small, impoverished town to rescue her and rid the town of the rebels for good."

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