This week, Magnum is asked to investigate the apparent suicide of an actress called Erin Wolfe (Cathie Shirriff) by her estranged partner, David Norman (Ian McShane), a disreputable film producer. After tracking the supposed victim to a remote cove, can Magnum stave off his Vietnam flashbacks long enough to save her from her pursuer, or will an ever-escalating cover-up claim another victim?
This episode was directed by Lawrence Doheny. The writer was a familiar face to fans of The Leap Home, Donald P. Bellisario.
