Preview — The Equalizer Season 5 Episode 10: Melody Talks About PTSD

Previews, The Equalizer

While the first part of The Equalizer Season 5 focused heavily on Mel coming to terms with her PTSD and learning to live with it, not much has been said about it since she got back to work. The Equalizer Season 5 Episode 10, “Dirty Sexy Money,” will bring this topic back to the screen.

Even though she has spoken to Harry, Robyn, Delilah, and a therapist about everything that she’s been dealing with, Mel hasn’t spoken to her parents about her PTSD or what she feels. Now is the time for her to open up to them and tell them what’s really been going on with her.

Meanwhile, Robyn and Dante investigate a mysterious fire that burnt down a family’s life savings. The police believes it was an accidental fire, but as McCall looks into it, she begins to wonder if someone caused the fire.
