Warning: spoilers ahead for the episode of "The Equalizer" Season 3, called "No Way Out."

"The Equalizer" hasn't been known to sidestep important issues over the three seasons that have aired on CBS so far, and "No Way Out" saw the show addressing the subject of domestic violence via none other than Vi, played by Lorraine Toussaint. Like the episode earlier this season that put Adam Goldberg's Harry through the wringer with the character's personal experiences with antisemitism, the case this week required Vi to revisit a very difficult time in her life to try and help a woman whose life was in danger in her own home. Toussaint spoke with CinemaBlend about the episode, the reveals about her character's backstory, and that powerful final scene with Queen Latifah.
