Robyn McCall, the vigilante justice-seeker at the heart of CBS’s “The Equalizer,” rarely takes a day off. But this Sunday’s episode, “Deception,” sees her trading in her usual arsenal of skills for some quality time with her daughter, Delilah. While McCall enjoys a brief respite from righting wrongs, her team faces a different kind of puzzle.
Aunt Vi’s friend, Evelyn, thinks she’s found love online. But the team suspects Evelyn might be the victim of an elaborate catfishing scheme. As they investigate, they uncover a web of lies and deceit that could leave Evelyn heartbroken and financially devastated.
With McCall stepping back, the team must rely on their collective skills to unravel the truth and protect Vi’s friend. “Deception,” directed by Daniela Ruah, airs Sunday, April 13th at 10:00 PM ET/PT on CBS. Stream it on Paramount+ for subscribers with SHOWTIME or on-demand the following day for Paramount+ Essential subscribers.
