Warning: There is a big spoiler for the April 10 episode of “The Equalizer” ahead.Following Chris Noth’s December firing from the CBS series “The Equalizer” after he was accused of sexual assault, his character has finally been written off.Noth, 67, portrays Bishop — former CIA Agent Robyn McCall (Queen Latifah)’s mentor and friend — in the action series.

The last episode the “Sex and the City” alum appeared in was the Season 2 episode “Separated,” which aired on Jan. 2 and filmed before the allegations came to the light.Since the start of the year, six episodes have aired, none of which featured Noth’s noticeably-absent character.But the April 10 episode, entitled “The Pulse,” finally addresses where Bishop has been.Sunday’s show revealed that Noth’s Bishop has spent the past months aiding a CIA investigation into a flight that suspiciously went down.Robyn joins forces with Harry Keshegian (Adam Goldberg) and Melody “Mel” Bayani (Liza Lapira) to figure out what mysteriously happened.

She learns that the accident most probably involved her foe, Mason Quinn (Chris Vance), as well as electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) that can take out a plane using magnetic fields.Robyn and her CIA handler, Carter Griffin (Brett Dalton), travel to a location where they believe Mason is meeting with Daniel Blake (Denis Ooi) to test out an EMP on a different aircraft.
