The Equalizer Season 5: Updated Eps. 15 & 16, Season Finale Previews

Check out our previews for CBS's The Equalizer S05E15: "Deceptions," S05E16: "Sins of the Father," and season finale S05E18: "Decisions."

Unfortunately, we're not getting a new episode of CBS's The Equalizer tonight – but wait! The Queen Latifah-starring hit series returns on April 13th with S05E15: "Deceptions" – but it might be April 20th's S05E16: "Sins of the Father" that has us the most interested. That's when Bosch: Legacy star Titus Welliver and Juani Feliz guest star in an episode that could very well lead to its own spinoff series (fingers crossed). Along with official overviews and image galleries for both of those episodes (and a trailer for "Deception"), we also look ahead to the May 4th season finale, S05E18: "Decisions" – and that's all waiting for you below:

The Equalizer Season 5 Episode 18: "Decisions" – SEASON FINALE: While on a romantic getaway, McCall (Queen Latifah) and Dante (Tory Kittles) are abruptly ambushed by Salazar (Juan Javier Cardenas) and his army.

Written by Joe Wilson & Rob Hanning and directed by Geoff Shotz, based on the original series by Richard Lindheim & Michael Sloan.

CBS's The Equalizer is a reimagining of the classic series starring Academy Award nominee and multi-hyphenate Queen Latifah (Chicago, Bessie) as Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills as a former CIA operative to help those with nowhere else to turn. McCall presents to most as an average single mom who is quietly raising her teenage daughter. But to a trusted few, she is "The Equalizer" – an anonymous guardian angel and defender of the downtrodden, who's also dogged in her pursuit of personal redemption.

Robyn's clandestine work and her personal life often collide when her smart and observant daughter, Delilah, and her aunt Vi, who lives with Robyn to help her balance life as a working mother, struggle to conceal her vigilante career. While Robyn worries about the mental and emotional toll her work exacts on her family, she is joined in her pursuit of justice by Melody "Mel" Bayani, an edgy bar owner and sniper from Robyn's past who recently quit the Equalizer team to recover from post-traumatic stress disorder; and Harry Keshegian, a paranoid and brilliant white-hat hacker married to Mel. As Robyn aids the oppressed and exploited, she sometimes works with Marcus Dante, an NYPD detective and trusted friend who respects the need for Robyn's type of justice even as he often questions her methods.

The series stars Queen Latifah (Robyn McCall), Tory Kittles (Detective Marcus Dante), Adam Goldberg (Harry Keshegian), Liza Lapira (Melody "Mel" Bayani), and Laya DeLeon Hayes (Delilah) – with Lorraine Toussaint (Viola "Vi" Marsette). Developed for television by Andrew Marlowe and Terri Miller, as based on the original series co-created by Richard Lindheim, the series is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with CBS Studios. Joseph C. Wilson, Dana Owens (Queen Latifah), Debra Martin Chase, Shakim Compere, John Davis, John Fox, Loretha Jones, and Rob Hanning serve as executive producers.
