THE EQUALIZER: ‘He Ain’t Heavy’ Photos

Mel (Liza Lapira) tries to save her brother on the Sunday, February 19 episode of THE EQUALIZER.

“You get to see layers of her family and how that affects her,” Lapira previously shared with Give Me My Remote. “We get to meet her family, which I think is huge…you find out that Mel has three siblings, two of which make it to the episode—one is overseas.”

“Her baby brother, in particular, is her heart…you get to see Mel in a mama bear role of sorts, a big sister role; fiercely protective,” she continued. “You also get a glimpse of what she looks like when she’s not fully together, which I don’t know that we’ve seen in the three years, because Mel is a pretty grounded character….We also get to see how she does all the aforementioned while having a rift, essentially, with her best friend Robyn McCall. How do they come together as sisters and solve this problem when technically they’re not speaking?”

CBS’ take on “He Ain’t Heavy”: “Mel engages in a tense family reunion when she and her disapproving sister (Camilla Mana) race against the clock to save their brother Edison (Travis Salter) after he’s abducted. Also, as the team unravels the motivation behind Edison’s kidnapping, Mel grapples with the fallout of her argument with McCall about training Delilah. GUEST CAST: Gloria Reuben (Trish); Travis Salter (Edison Bayani); Camilla Mana (Ruby); J Alexis James (Journey); Elle Rigg (Monica Bradley); Nick Delany (Anthony Walters); Laurence Blum (Jim Voss); Chamblee Ferguson (Royce Binion). WRITTEN BY: Melissa R. Byer & Treena Hancock; BASED ON: The original series by Richard Lindheim & Michael Sloan; DIRECTED BY: John Terlesky.”
