Robyn McCall, the vigilante justice-seeker of CBS’s “The Equalizer,” is taking on a case with a personal twist this Sunday. In “Sins of the Father,” McCall is approached by Samantha Reed, whose father, ex-CIA agent Elijah Reed, has vanished without a trace. This episode is serving as a backdoor pilot for a possible series.
McCall agrees to help Samantha track down her missing father, a search that leads them down a rabbit hole of family secrets and hidden pasts. Samantha joins forces with the Equalizer team, adding her own skills and determination to the investigation. Their pursuit takes them to the Dominican Republic, where Samantha uncovers truths about her father and her family that she never could have imagined.
“Sins of the Father,” written by Joseph C. Wilson and directed by Geoff Shotz, guest stars Titus Welliver and Juani Feliz as Elijah and Samantha Reed. This episode might be just another case for McCall, but for Samantha, it’s a journey of self-discovery and a confrontation with the sins of her father. Tune in to CBS this Sunday at 10:00 PM ET. You can stream the episode on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs).
