Is Dante Really Leaving The Equalizer?

After this week's traumatic ordeal, it appeared that Marcus Dante wanted nothing to do with the NYPD or his future as a cop. But as fans and media outlets point out, that doesn't mean Tory Kittles' character has to leave "The Equalizer" altogether. 

"I see him teaming up with the Equalizer herself to create an even bigger and more powerful Network," a fan named @MinisterCheryl wrote on Twitter. The website Matt & Jess TV Commentary offered up a similar explanation: "We think tonight's episode is meant to start larger conversions, and we think that Dante needs to be here in order to have those be all the more effective," the site reported. "We'd honestly love to see him work even closer with Robyn and see things even more from her side — there's no denying that he'd bring ALL sorts of valuable experience to her cause!"

If "The Equalizer" writers do decide to keep Dante around, fans ultimately hope that means a blossoming romance with Robyn is in order. "They're so close to dating," tweeted one viewer. Another fan with the handle @CLF__423 wrote, "Hopefully Robyn and Dante will soon admit their real feelings for each other."
