I think he might have sung it in the shower to himself. Actor Tory Kittles weighed in on whether his character would have ever said any of what he said without the effects of truth serum, saying: and Dante confessing his feelings for McCall. Oddly enough, though, Dante being stabbed in the neck with the syringe of serum led to some comedy with Harry. Not only was his life in danger in the final minutes of the finale, but he was injected with a deadly truth serum earlier in the hour and actually had his heart stopped before Harry's Hail Mary move with a defibrillator. Unfortunately for Dante, his dangerous situation was not neatly wrapped up by the end of the hour like Delilah's was. (Image credit: CBS) Dante Has A Fiery Cliffhanger (And Accidental Confession) A lot has changed since just earlier this year, when McCall didn't want her daughter trained at all! The little family unit of McCall, Delilah, and Aunt Vi (which Lorraine Toussaint has said she's very "proud" of) is at the heart of The Equalizer, and according to Hayes, the two older women acknowledging Dee's maturity and growth has been a special part of Season 3. But now that she's actually shown maturity, and she's been through so much and grown a lot, Aunt Vi and McCall being able to recognize that they should take her seriously and listen to her is a really beautiful thing and kind of a little full circle moment, I would say. Then on top of that, she's been fighting for the past two seasons just to be taken seriously. Luckily, Delilah is one of a couple important characters actually guaranteed to have a future after the events of "Eye for an Eye," since neither she nor Vi was captured by Michelle Chambers in her revenge plot against McCall. One, because obviously training has been something that she really is passionate about and she fully believes in herself, as you can see with her dropkick in the season finale! So I think because she's so passionate and she's so fueled by it, knowing that that's completely validated from both her mom and Aunt Vi is only going to help her gain more confidence and gain more clarity on what she wants to do in the future. Oh my goodness, I think it means everything for her. The actress went on to share what it means to Delilah to be taken seriously, with Hayes saying: Dee obviously absorbed a lot of what her mom tried to teach her about situational awareness, and was proved right (albeit too late to escape) in her deduction that Drake was about to rob the store. Interestingly, the episode with McCall and Delilah in the cafe (available streaming via Paramount+ subscription) was the same one that showcased Lorraine Toussaint as Aunt Vi did everything she could to help a friend stuck in a cycle of domestic abuse. Throughout the episode, I was constantly thinking about the episode we shot a few weeks before, which was with McCall and Delilah in the cafe and just them being observant of different people walking in because that really sets off the inspiration for her going to Aunt Vi and saying 'Hey, I think we need to leave. Laya DeLeon Hayes elaborated on the situation: It was a brave moment that could have gone sideways if somebody had shot anyway, and all came down to Dee noticing that the gun wasn't loaded in a very Robyn McCall-type move. After noticing an instant before that Drake's revolver wasn't actually loaded, she dropkicked him so that that cops wouldn't have a clean shot, then shouted that his gun was empty while she more or less served as his human shield. Everything she's learned and everything that's been taught to her ultimately leads to her having this beautiful hero moment, which is so lovely.ĭelilah put her own life at risk at the end of the hostage situation when the police stormed the bodega. It's all kind of leading up to this point. Even at the end of Season 2, she didn't fully understand why her mom does what she does and what she actually did, and still me and Aunt Vi kind of lean on each other for support in that way throughout the show. She's been through so much in these past three seasons, and it's been a lot of learning for her, a lot of experiences that she's been able to grow from.
