The Equalizer Season 3 Episode 5: Encounters in a Closed Room Aired on CBS: October 14, 1987 Directed by: Jim Johnston Written by : Ann Lewis Hamilton & Scott Shepherd Featuring: Michael Moriarty, Maureen Mueller, Jamey Sheridan We're still in a limbo between the epic first three episodes of season three and when the show has to radically adjust to Edward Woodward's mild heart attack and he has to step away for a stretch. We categorize this one as "KGB Light": a bittersweet romance between a Russian defector and a scientist escaping Russian custody while in the States, some parallels between the scientist's plight and how EQ felt in the agency, and my god the coats in this episode, people. Definite Americans vibes here. Guest starring Michael Moriarty (Law & Order) and Maureen Mueller who, given her resemblence this episode, would have been a star had they made a Lauren Bacall biopic in the mid 80s. @equalizerspod equalizerspodcast at gmail dot com
