3) A bigger villain than ever before

Robyn and Jessie have already pledged to never work together again. If they are to come back for a mission, the threat has to be a massive one. So you can expect a deadly villain or a massive threat to come along. This would require Jessie Cook to work on the right side of the law again.

The Equalizer is currently on a break due to numerous sporting events across the world. The show's return will mark many important events, including the appearance of Jessie Cook.
