The Equalizer has been exploring the equalizing team and the various cases they have been involved in during their vigilante justice streak. At the beginning of the current season, Robyn McCall felt her team's absence as she had to deal with her first case alone. Dante had taken up a job in Los Angeles, Mel was in therapy, and Harry had a case of his own to crack.

However, the team slowly reassembled around her during the episodes, with Harry assisting her on cases regularly. Then, Mel also returned to the field, feeling more adept at dealing in the field. Though Dante still has his Los Angeles job, he has also been in town for the last two episodes to deal with the aftermath of his father's surgery.

Robyn has been having conflicted feelings about her romantic life, with her unresolved emotions for Dante. However, she also wants to give her ex-husband Miles a chance and reunite with her family. The show's most recent episode focused on an undercover mission where Robyn and Mel went into a jail as a prisoner and a guard. Dante rescued them from a spot of trouble, which might intensify Robyn's dilemma now.


Audiences can watch The Equalizer season 5 episode 7, on December 8, 2024, at 8.30 pm ET. While new episodes of the series are released every Sunday on CBS, the upcoming episode will be the winter finale for the season, with the next episode releasing in early 2025 directly.
