A rainy episode

Kit McDonough as Cindy, Sam Henderson's Secretary deserves special recognition for her role, and it's a shame she didn't get much more screen time in this episode or future episodes.

This is a mediative episode of Magnum, and kind of the episode that screams "mid-life crisis" and when you think about it, this is from the sixth season. The fact that Magnum, P. I. has a crossover episode with Murder, She Wrote in season seven pretty much reaffirms the mid-life crisis of Magnum, P. I. I guess.

There's much rain in this episode with The Kona Winds approaching, and it's an episode to watch on the sofa with a mug of hot chocolate.

Excellent episode

This is one of those Magnum episodes without the usual banter between the guys and one where the somewhat darker storyline is enhanced by the exceptionally bad weather. Because usually even the most serious problems are dealt with in blue skies and sunny weather. Cynthia Sikes is wonderful and one of the few ladies that Magnum really falls for. Director Jerry Jameson brings along a huge amount of experience for this sort of stories having directed episodes of Cannon, McCloud, Six Million Dollar Man, BL Stryker and would continue to do so in several Magnum episodes, Murder She wrote and Jake and the Fatman. One of those episodes fit for repeated viewing.

The start of the end

This episode really felt like the turning point in the series. Over season five, the arc of the show started shifting away from Magnum and his buddies and started a line of ladies in his bed.

This episode was disappointing in that he knowingly slept with a married woman. Magnum isn't a perfect person, but he has a set of morals that he follows. And one that viewers admire. He crossed the line in this one.

Also a change is more dark drama and less humor. The humor made the show.

Really, he's smarter than he's been showing himself in recent episodes. He's too gullible for a man who served in Vietman and who has been a P. I. for several years.

I miss the banter and the humor. Too many random 'damsels in distress' kind of stories. So cliche

I watched this show as a kid and I hope it will improve, as I remember it being of my favorites.
