In an episode built to test if the audience may want a spin-off, you aren’t necessarily given characters who you’d want to see more of.
The Equalizer strays away from its usual formula by having perhaps one of the first episodes where every character gets story progression and some sense of character or relationship development.
As Delilah continues to struggle with not getting into her safety school, a serial killer rattles Robyn and coerces her to bring up her past.
As Marcus Dante shows his luck has no bounds, Robyn and Mel handle a soldier who went AWOL due to unsafe conditions.
As Robyn and Marcus are questioned about their next steps, Delilah is asked to forgive, and Mel meets someone similar to her who is struggling with their father.
A child being kidnapped leads to Delilah getting the chance to step up and Captain Curtis to re-engage with Aunt Vi.
We meet the final pieces of Mel’s family as Aunt Vi goes on a date that alters her opinion of Captain Curtis for the worse.
As Robyn takes on another case we’re likely to see no follow-up on, Marcus finally meets his brother James.
“The Equalizer” returns from its winter break with season villain Angel Salazar also returning. But as Delilah and Aunt Vi’s storyline grow, is there still enough room for them on the show?
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
