‘MacGyver’ Season 3 Episode Spoilers: Mac Goes Back to School

Angus “Mac” MacGyver (Lucas Till) may have left the Phoenix Foundation at the end of the second season, but the ingenious fixer is back in “MacGyver” Season 3 as it continues to air on Fridays at 8 p.m. EST on CBS. So what is Mac up to lately?

Titled "Bozer + Booze + "Back to School," “MacGyver” Season 3 Episode 3 has just aired and it features the titular character leading his team while they go undercover at the campus of his alma mater, Western Tech. The episode opens up with Wilt (Justin Hires) hilariously doing a keg stand while Mac, Riley (Tristin Mays), and Leanna (Reign Edwards) sneak off to complete the mission before it flashes back to 12 hours earlier.

The scene starts with Riley and Billy (Lance Gross) in a car following a skip, and the two are talking about their relationship before Jack (George Eads) interrupts by getting in the backseat. Riley will get called off for a briefing, though.

At the war room, Matty (Meredith Eaton) informs the team that transparent bombs were used to blow up several facilities in Morocco and the three suspects didn’t live long. Interestingly, the suspects are Western Tech alumnus and the team is sent to the campus to find out who has been doing the recruiting.

After some twist and turns, Mac and the team eventually discover that the culprit is actually an ex-KGB agent and they managed to stop another bomb from exploding. All in all, “MacGyver” Season 3 Episode 3 was entertaining with TVmaze.com calling it “decent.”

“It gave Mac some space to strut himself, it gave us little bits of the characters without drowning us in ‘moments’. Justin Hires was mostly harmless and if he has to be on the show, better they keep him to comedy than serious secret-agenting, romance, and emotional angst. Wilt ain't fat, but many TV shows need a sidekick for comic relief, don't they?”
