When is the next new episode of The Equalizer season 3?
The Equalizer is back with the final episode of the season.
The season finale episode titled "Eye for an Eye" airs on Sunday, May 21, at 8 pm ET/PT on CBS. Additionally, the episode becomes available to live-stream at that time for Paramount Plus premium subscribers. Here's a synopsis of what's to come:
"The team is put into harm’s way when McCall’s former CIA colleague (Ilfenesh Hadera) is found alive and sets her sights on revenge by attempting to abduct Dante, Harry and Mel. Also, Aunt Vi and Delilah must act quickly to de-escalate a hostage situation of their own when a robber targets a bodega."

The Equalizer season 3 plot
Season 2 ended with quite the cliffhanger. While Robyn was driving her vehicle with Vi (Lorraine Toussaint) and Delilah (Laya DeLeon Hayes) inside, the three women were hit by a car. As they tried to find their bearings, two assailants rushed Robyn, put a hood over her head and threw her in an SVU. Unfortunately, Vi and Deliliah were helpless to stop it. However, they no doubt will play a role in rescuing her along with the Equalizer team.
We'd venture to say once Robyn is able to escape her kidnappers, she may find herself determined to get justice against those that wronged her. So those responsible may want to beware.
