Magnum is shot and left for dead at a warehouse. Now he walks like a ghost through his world.
Magnum episodes tend to be fairly one-dimensional in plot: someone comes to Magnum with a problem, Magnum investigates, after some great action sequences, Magnum catches bad guys. It is the sub-plots and banter (and scenery) that gave the series its charm and engagement.
This episode takes a deviation from this formula, and it's a wonderful one. With Magnum having to deal with the possibility of his own death, relationships and looking out for the people he cares about become the primary focus. It's easily the deepest Magnum episode and a very moving experience.
