The Equalizer Season 3 Episode 16: The Mystery of Manon: Part 1 Aired on CBS: February 17, 1988 Directed by: Bradford May Written by : Coleman Luck Featuring: Melissa Sue Anderson, Anthony Zerbe, William Zabka
Theoretically the Equalizer audiences in the late 1980s were demanding a) more Mary Ingalls b) of all the areas in EQ's mysterious past we could explore, let's explore more of his past romance with Manon; explore as much of that sliver of his backstory as possible, then we can move on to the rest of his sordid, intriguing past that's been hinted at so much. Or maybe the creators just thought the audiences were demanding that, but either way that's what we got. It's a bit of a reunion: Yvette's back, still unaware EQ is her biological father; Marcel's back, Scott too, even Jimmy and schlubby Sterno. There are some dark themes, dreams, despair, and setting up a lot of pins for Mystery of Manon Part 2 to knock down.
