As the trio continues to work together, Robyn McCall finds herself chasing a shipment of stolen guns on The Equalizer Season 5 Episode 8, “Guns and Roses.” While McCall is doing her best to figure out what happened to the guns, someone reaches out for help.

When Robyn, Mel, and Harry begin to investigate the murder of a young girl, McCall starts to suspect the case is tied to the stolen guns. If this were true, the trio would face an upcoming gang war. Can they stop the war before it begins?
