What to Expect from The Equalizer Season 5 Episode 18: Decisions

Previews, The Equalizer

The Equalizer Season 5 Episode 18, “Decisions,” marks the end of the season. Robyn seems to have been lucky enough to escape every bad guy who came after her this season, but this episode might be the end of that with Salazar coming back for her and Dante during their weekend getaway.

Will Mel and Harry warn Robyn in time? Or will she and Dante be surprised by Salazar and his army? Since the season is yet to be renewed, it’ll be interesting to see if every character makes it out alive.

While Robyn and Dante fight for their lives, Aunt Vi and Dee are off doing their own thing. Aunt Vi is considering taking her relationship with Curtis to the next level.

Dee has to decide where she wants to go to college. However, she takes time away from those thoughts to meet her favorite author.
