Magnum (Tom Selleck) is anxious to see justice done in the trial of Quang Ki (Richard Nanta), the Vietnamese official who had earlier tried to kill Magnum's ex-wife Michelle (Marta DuBois) and daughter Lily. Astonishingly, Quang Ki is acquitted of all charges, and Magnum suspects that someone "higher up" has been pulling strings to avoid an international incident. Not long afterward, the detective receives a videotape indicating that Quang Ki has succeeded in murdering his family. Grimly, Magnum prepares to deal out his own brand of justice--a vendetta that well may prove disastrous to a prisoner exchange being negotiated by the US government. Though he receives no screen credit, this episode is narrated by CNN news commentator Bernard Shaw, ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Stilling reeling from the suicide of Diane Dupres, Magnum is ill-prepared for the sudden reapparance of his old Navy friend Mac (Jeff MacKay)--especially since Mac had been killed two years earlier. Can this really be a return from the grave, or is Magnum losing his mind? As this question is being pondered, the viewer is treated to poignant highlights from the previous episodes "Echoes of the Mind", "Memories are Forever", "Did You See the Sunrise?" and "Distant Relative". Without giving away too much of the plot, it can be noted that this episode marks what may be the only instance in which a previous TV-series regular returns to the same series with the same character name--but as an entirely different character! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the final episode of Magnum P.I's second season, fashion designer Jan Kona (Jill St. John) solicits the help of Thomas Magnum (Tom Selleck) when one of her two partners is murdered.

Meanwhile, a bemused Rick (Larry Manetti) tries to reconcile the glamorous, worldly Ms. Kona with her "past life" as one of his long-stemmed cocktail waitresses. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Higgins (John Hillerman "volunteers" Magnum (Tom Selleck) to act as bodyguard for "Sir Algernon Farnsworth", a disagreeable terrier owned by wealthy Gloria Marston (Kathleen Nolan). Though the last thing Magnum wants to be in the world is a dog-sitter, he agrees to the assignment in exhange for a year's free use of the tennis courts at a ritzy private club. But he may not live long enough to enjoy this perk: the dog's previous owner, an ill-tempered gangster named DiGiorgio (Michael Gazzo), is determined to reclaim the mutt--even if he has to kill a few people to meet his goal. The episode's climax finds DiGiorgio and his goons chasing Magnum and animal regulations officer Sharon Karns (Shawn Hoskins) through an old banana field. . .which turns out to be reaping some rather strange "fruit." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
