‘MacGyver’: Levy Tran on Desi’s Past and Her (Possible) Future With Mac (VIDEO)
There’s truly nothing like a lavish wedding to make two people confront their relationship, right? On the April 2 episode of MacGyver we get just that — and some high-adrenaline action — when Phoenix Foundation members Angus MacGyver (Lucas Till), Desi Nguyen (Levy Tran), and Russ Taylor (Henry Ian Cusick) head to a Bollywood wedding on a mission to protect a princess bride.
Besides trying to saving the world and defeating CODEX once and for all, this season has also given viewers the love triangle between Mac, Desi, and team hacker Riley Davis (Tristin Mays). But the latest episode has Mac and Desi having some uncomfortable talks because, well, Desi has some things about her past to get off her chest. Could what she has to share close the book on a future with Mac? Or will it send Mac back to Riley?
To find out more about the case this week and the Mac and Desi of it all, TV Insider hopped on a zoom call with Tran, who graciously gave us a little time during her lunch break to clue us in.

I agree that Desi and Mac don't have a lot in common but they do get along and should have stayed there . I also agree that Mac and Riley have a brother and sister relationship so why ruin it . It's better to see Mac with some new.

Team Desi 💕 here. I think she goes great with Macgyver! Desi and Mac are made for each other. Love Riley ❤️ but her and Mac have been like brother and sister this whole time. Riley would go better with a tall dark handsome tough guy.

I respectfully disagree...brother and sister? really? I mean Mac basically said hes had feelings for a while. Their chemistry is just NEXT LEVEL.
you may not ship them and thats cool but calling them siblings when they have had insanely flirty moments over the years just seems weird..not to mention they've played bf-gf, an engaged couple and newlyweds... that does not seem like brother sister to me but to each their own I guess!

I love Desi and Mac together. I want this relationship to remain. If not, Mac should be in a love relationship with someone other than Riley.
Riley and Mac have a sibling relationship, it seems incestuous otherwise.

Love Levy!! Shes a sweetheart!!
At this point even Levy knows Mac and Desi have nothing in common. They are together because they "get along". (not even that in most episodes)
Its been obvious since day one that Mac is going to end up with Riley. Their chemistry and connection on the show is unmatched! They have trust, understanding and common interests.
I am very intrigued by Desi's secret! I hope it results in some positive development for her!
I hope they give her a girlfriend next season. They teased her bisexuality but never went through with it so I hope it happens!
Great interview!
