MacGyver season 2 episode 14 preview: The trip to New Orleans

On MacGyver season 2 episode 14 (airing on CBS in one week’s time) we are going to be seeing the title character head over to New Orleans. Who’s ready to have a little bit of fun in the Big Easy? We like the idea of this episode for a number of reasons. For one, who doesn’t love New Orleans? You’ve got a great culture and some of the best food … even though we’re not actually eating it, we love thinking about it. Beyond that, there are always plenty of great characters who you get a chance to meet.

The MacGyver season 2 episode 14 synopsis that CarterMatt has for you below gives you a little bit of a sense as to who some of these characters are going to be, including a con artist who has some very specific ties to Jack Dalton and his past:

“Mardi Gras Beads + Chair” – When the team heads to New Orleans to track down the con artist (Amy Smart) who is posing as the wife of “Duke Jacoby,” one of Jack’s old CIA aliases, Jack finds himself in jeopardy when “Duke’s” old enemies resurface looking for revenge, on MACGYVER, Friday, Jan. 19 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Garrett Morris guest stars as Willy, Jack’s former confidential informant in New Orleans.

Overall, signs are pointing towards MacGyver season 2 episode 14 being a great episode for those of you who love a good Jack backstory. This installment should give us a good opportunity to learn more about some of what this guy was doing prior to the show — also, who doesn’t love the chance to see Amy Smart (pictured above) in a key role on the show?

Now, if only there was a way to throw NCIS: New Orleans into the episode since the idea of MacGyver alongside Lasalle sounds like a bit of a hoot. Unfortunately, MacGyver films in Atlanta so it’s not like we are actually going to be seeing the cast visit the city; it’ll just be a nice recreation with some of the food and culture we mentioned earlier.
