MacGyver season 4 episode 5: Is Matty Webber a traitor?
When the big reveal of Titan’s “identity” came out at the end of the episode, we were expecting more or less a new character who would be a part of the next few episodes.

We still believe in Matilda Webber — and we hope that you do, too. Granted, there is always that chance that we’re setting ourselves up for disappointment here and she actually has turned…
