What Season 3 of MacGyver

The season begins three months after Mac leaves the Phoenix Foundation and moves to Nigeria. When Jack becomes the target of a murderous dictator he once betrayed, Mac sets his differences with his father aside and returns to the team. From there, the group takes on one high-risk mission after another across different countries: unauthorized rescues, an infiltration of a university campus and an operation against a cartel in Mexico. Mac solves every problem with ingenuity, turning everyday objects into solutions. Matty, who runs the operations, keeps secrets that affect everyone, while Riley, Bozer and Leanna handle much of the infiltration work. Murdoc also returns to make things even more complicated.
