MacGyver Scoop: The Heated Moment That Would Have Led to That First Kiss TVLine 6 days ago
An extremely heated moment and not necessarily the
good kind would have led to MacGyver and Riley sharing their first kiss, had the CBS drama been renewed for Season 6.

To briefly recap Friday’s episode: Mac and Riley (played by Lucas Till and Tristin Mays) went missing for 24 hours, and had no memory of what happened to them during that disappearance. It was discovered that they had been experimented on, since the nanobots still in their system apparently allow for a degree of mind control. Worse, Matty (Meredith Eaton) came to realize that none other than the
