RS1:E1 – “The Rising”

ORIGINAL AIRDATE: September 23rd, 2016 — A DXS agent is killed during the terrorist theft of a deadly biological weapon MISSION: MacGyver and his new team move to intercept a biotoxin, but lose an agent in the process. In the aftermath, MacGyver is dragged back into the investigation to prevent a large-scale bio-attack on U.S. Soil. This week’s highlights include: We neglected to mention a couple more notes from last night’s premiere, specifically that Bozer brings up Penny (presumably Parker) when explaining to Mac where this missile prop came from. Expect her to show up at some point. Also, MacGyver makes VO mention of his long-claimed, rarely exhbitied fear of heights.
