Okay, so those of us who like the reboot all know Cage is hiding something - but what? What do you guys think? The theory I came up with is that her real name could be Ashton Cooke, and she may be Murdoc's sister, just like the original Ashton. After all, Murdoc knows about her, but she doesn't know much about him, and she's blonde, like the original Ashton. I could be wrong, but that's what I thought it might be. What do you think? hmm.bmp

That's a plausible theory, I think!

My first theory (way back when there was the announcement for a new regular cast member) was - besides the obvious one about making her a love interest for Mac or Jack - that she's Mac's half-sister or something.

That theory still held up in Episode 2x04 when we learnt that she might have changed her name. Many think that there's too much flirting going on for them to be related (especially if she knows it), but personally, I don't see the kind of chemistry needed for a romantic relationship. Though she seems very interested in getting Mac to know better.

I haven't really thought about her character that much lately because I usually give the writers too much credit when exploring possible character development and end up being disappointed ;-)

She could be searching for Mac's father as well (for whatever reason) and decided to get close to him? Since she has history with Matty, there might be some connection there as well.

This theory would definitely be more interesting than the typical romance interest! Let's hope you are on to something.

I kinda wondered about that as well. Now that we know Matty is involved in some fashion after Mac saw her on the movie footage... it's possible she and Cage are working together. I noticed Cage's hesitance to disobey Matty's direct order a few episodes back... so there could be some sort of blackmail involved.

At the same time, I'm having a hard time believing that Matty, or Cage, are bad guys. Not that I'm a fan of their characters, but their actresses have done an excellent job keeping me on my toes.

Guess we'll have to wait and see!

Last Season, I hoped Matty might turn out the bad "guy" and Thornton the good "guy" (like in the Original, when Pete was framed by a guy named Webber).

But since they established Thornton als the villain in Episode 1x17 (probably because they knew Sandrine wouldn't be back any time soon for another Episode), that ship has definitely sailed. Although, the Organization has kinda vanished as if they never existed, which is weird.

It would be a bad move to make either Cage or Matty a villain after Thornton; that would just be lazy writing and boring as hell. Also, Episode 2x04 was written and filmed before we ever got to see Cage for the first time and before complaints about her character trickled in. They might have edited out some of her scenes due to negative reviews, but her "secret" must have been more or less established since the beginning.

Of course, they might have shifted some things around over the course of the filming, but I don't think a complete rehaul of her character and her "secret" would have been possible. Although I still wonder if they might have cut her role shorter than intended and that's why she's gone after only half a Season; at least for now. If she has anything to do with Mac's father, she might be back for the Season Finale.

For now, it looks like Leanna took her spot since she's on set again for the newest Episode; so they kinda exchanged one agent for another.

Not sure how I feel about that. My main issue was always the character and how Cage was introduced; not Isabel. If they let Reign stay as Leanna while Isabel had to go, the issues I complained about (too many regulars that are not needed and don't have enough to do), are still there. But if Reign stays on the show, then I don't think Isabel will be back. And she might actually turn out as a bad guy.

I actually thought it would be cool if we met Murdoc's father at some point, and the season finale revealed that Murdoc's father was actually MAC'S father as well, establishing Murdoc and Mac as half-brothers. If my theory about Cage were to turn out to be true, then she and Mac actually could be half-siblings as well. But maybe I'm thinking to deeply about it. wacko.gif

That's okay... I still hold on to the idea that all the characters are offspring of the original characters.

I dunno why my mind works that way... it just does. lol But I can totally see MacGyver 2.0 being the offspring of original MacGyver. biggrin.gif

Would be funny if Cage ended up being Sam's daughter or something... that would make Cage MacGyver's neice. XD

True. Though I would think Sam could be both Samantha and new Mac's dad, which would still make them siblings. Maybe he's Murdoc's dad too. Boy, Sam gets around, doesn't he tongue.gif
If Samantha is Murdoc's sister, I can just picture the dialogue after the reveal.
JACK: Wait, you're related to Lord Nut Bar over there?
SAMANTHA: Unfortunately, Jack, that appears to be true.
JACK: That actually makes since...
SAMANTHA: What do mean by that?!
JACK: Well, let's just say it seems butt-kicking runs in your family.
SAMANTHA: Uh, thanks, Jack.
JACK: You also get captured REALLY easily! I mean, Murdoc got caught even though he's supposed to be unbeatable, and how many times have Mac and I had to save you after you were taken hostage?
SAMANTHA: Tread carefully, Dalton.

Whatever her secret is, I don't think she's evil, unless it's blackmail. After all, she looked really uncomfortable while Murdoc was taunting her about exposing her secret. Murdoc said something along the lines of "imagine what everyone would think of you if only they knew the truth about you." If she were a bad guy, why would she care what the rest of the team thought of her? Unless the writers do go about the romance route instead of the siblings route and she's just worried about Mac's opinion. If that's the case, maybe she's the rebooted version of Debora. blink.gif
