‘True Lies’ Episode 5 Cast, Photos, and “Unrelated Parents” Video

A hacker capable of starting a war sets the team in motion on CBS’s True Lies season one episode five. “Unrelated Parents” was directed by David Barrett from a script by John Swetnam and will air on Wednesday, March 29, 2023 at 10pm ET/PT.

Steve Howey stars as Harry and Ginger Gonzaga stars as Helen. The season one cast also includes Erica Hernandez as Maria, Omar Miller as Gib, Mike O’Gorman as Luther, Annabella Didion as Dana, and Lucas Jaye as Jake.

“Unrelated Parents” Plot: The Omega Sector team must track down a dangerous hacker with missile codes that could cause war to break out in the Middle East if they fall into the wrong hands. When the hacker turns out to be a moody teenager, Harry and Helen attempt to use their parenting techniques from home to get him to cooperate, which proves to be more challenging than handling the miscreants they usually deal with.

The Season One Plot:

True Lies follows Harry Tasker (Howey), a first-class international spy for U.S. intelligence agency Omega Sector, and his wife, Helen (Gonzaga), a language professor bored with her daily routine, who makes the shocking discovery that her seemingly ordinary husband is leading an extraordinary double life.

With the secret out, Omega recruits Helen, who impresses everyone with her formidable skills (thanks to Tae Bo and yoga), and she joins Harry and his team of top-notch operatives, embarking on covert missions around the globe and an exhilarating life of danger and adventure – all while keeping their adventures a secret from their children. The renewed bond between them adds much-needed sizzle to the Taskers’ emotionally distant marriage and upends the top-secret world of Omega Sector.

But, as Harry says, if you’re going to save the world, you might as well do it for the ones you love.
