A powerhouse episode. The most ambitious cinematography on this show yet as the Equalizer flashes back to his work on the field long ago. Someone from his past is back in town, a double crosser with the ominous name: Brian. Also a pre-Clarissa Melissa Joan Hart calls the Equalizer since her dad is set to be released from prison.
