What Happened on the Previous Episode?
Previously on The Equalizer, Robyn and Delilah were the first on the scene when a mother realized her son was missing. Robyn helped lead the investigation inside the mall, but it was Delilah’s idea to pass out flyers that found the key witness. With this woman’s help, Robyn, Mel, and Harry could track down the couple who had kidnapped Dylan.
As Robyn and Mel got information from the couple, Harry used his technology magic to find out the man who ordered the kidnap. When the two women showed up at his house, he had already set fire to the room Dylan was in. Mel was able to bring Dylan out while Robyn stopped the kidnapper from killing himself.
Meanwhile, Aunt Vi and Curtis talked about what happened between them during the ride-along. Aunt Vi could process what happened and decided to continue their friendship.
