The Bermuda Triangle
MacGyver(Lucas Till) and the gang are getting ready for Halloween, and are discussing what their greatest fears are. But their plans are changed when Matty(Meredith Eaton) calls. A plane carrying a dangerous killer and the vice president’s son goes down in the Bermuda triangle, and the gang is sent to investigate. Jack(George Eads) is against the idea, as he believes that it is a supernaturally dangerous place. Mattie puts her foot down(the other option would have been to put it up Jack’s…) Everyone scoffs at Jack, and off they go. Of course, their communications go down, and Matty cannot keep track of them, or give them vital info on their killer.
Possible Ghosts and MacGyver Finds Old Corn
They quickly track down the plane. Ever superstitious, Jack along with skeptical Mac and Cage(Isabel Lucas) explore the island while Riley(Tristin Mays) and Bozer(Justin Hires) try to reestablish communications(Of course they will, they are my epic babies). The trio find an old military outpost, and Mac makes a primitive type of thermal camera to find survivors, using an old tin of corn as one of the components. While they are searching, Jack is tricked into falling through old floorboards to the basement. They split up(much to Jack’s consternation), and Jack has to escape through a false wall.
Riley And Bozer Do the Research
Riley and Bozer get the comms back up, and Matty tells them who the killer is on board the downed plane. Harper Hayes(Jeananne Goossen), a crazed killer into body modification using metal plates. She is also into torture and getting in people’s heads.
Cage gets Trapped
While separated, Harper traps Cage(odd phrase, that) in an airtight chamber. It is filling it slowly with water and the lock is sealed so that Mac cannot pick it. Mac and Jack find her, and while they are finding a way to free her, she admits that drowning is her greatest fear.
They rescue Cage and find the vice president’s son, but Harper attacks, shooting Jack. This seemingly throws him off a cliff, but really only makes him angry. He confronts her again, but she has the upper hand. Suddenly, her eyes roll back and she levitates, obviously in pain. Naturally, Jack thinks it is the Triangle spirits, and changes crossing himself into triangle-ing himself in gratitude. Of course it is Mac. He used his knowledge of Harper’s particular peccadilloes to shut her down via her various implants.
The gang makes it back home in time to throw a zombified Oz themed haunted house, and Matty, of course, is…the extra candy bringer.
Thoughts on MacGyver 2X05
Hilarious. Jack becomes that guy.
Love how Matty didn’t have to be Munchkin. She ain’t got time for stereotypes.
Bozer is an adorable Cowardly Lion.
If there had been flying monkeys, I’d have been outta here.
