the episode starts out with the gang training for some kind of charity bed race. they’re running down the street pushing a bed on wheels with an asian woman in it, and higgins is shouting at them from the sidelines.
a navy officer drives up and says magnum is needed for an urgent classified matter. magnum hasn’t been in the navy for years, but he’s sick of training for the bed race so he goes. he meets with an admiral who demands magnum rejoin the navy for 6 months. magnum reluctantly goes along with it
the admiral brought magnum on for a mole hunt, and he quickly discovers the admiral’s future daughter-in-law is doing spy shit. early in the investigation magnum gets arrested for espionage when they find planted evidence in his car
the lieutenant who brought magnum in initially pulls him into a bathroom after he’s court-martialed to beat his ass. magnum beats HIS ass and escapes out of the bathroom window. he breaks into the admiral’s daughter-in-law’s house, and she comes home and pulls a gun on him. she’s cia the whole time and it’s the admiral’s son who is stealing classified documents.
magnum and the cia woman are investigating the admiral’s son and find a clue: he’s gonna be at the bed race! higgins took magnum’s spot along with tc and rick pushing the bed, they’re in athletic clothes with knee and albow pads, and higgins is wearing his full suit and dress shoes. he loses the jacket after the first leg, and the vest after the second. magnum captures two spies and recovers the classified documents before taking higgins’ spot on the team and winning the final leg of the race.
magnum goes scuba diving and starts hallucinating. apparently that’s a common thing when scubaing, but he starts hallucinating on land too. so he keeps diving, against everyone’s advice, they’re telling him just stop diving, there isn’t a child with no gear deep down there beckoning you to dive lower and lower.
so he starts scubaing alone deeper and deeper, just the worst thing you can do. and he discovers a ww2 fighter plane on the ocean floor. and that somehow led to solving a mystery about a recently drowned boy.

It just occurred to me that Magnum lives his life like he was still on active duty in Nam. He hangs out in a cushy home base provided by his employer, is subjected to random missions & shenanigans, and then bailed out by TC with a helicopter half of the time.
there’s a $20,000 antique statue in the safe at robin’s nest. a thief tries to steal it but just shoots apollo and runs away. the mystery is revealed when the statue is stolen on the boat and they discover microfilm hidden inside. a scene develops where 6 consecutive people appear behind the last person pointing a gun at them

What if by binging Magnum P.I. and ranking the episodes, you unlock a secret ritual, and proceed to the next level? And the nature of the super-powers you get is determined by your personal ranking?
rick’s boat gets boatjacked. he fires off a couple shots at the attackers and leaps into the ocean lmao he’s mia for the entire episode what a maniac. when they find him he’s living on a deserted island and has gone sun-mad
as part of his search, magnum teams up with an asian detective who acts and talks like john wayne

magnum takes a job finding a client’s long lost father, but he unwittingly brings an assassin to this reclusive dude’s compound. magnum is shot in the chest and taken to the hospital. higgins tc and rick all visit magnum at the hospital extensively lol they have such a strong adult friendship.
as he’s tracking down the guy who shot him, magnum describes his own patented 5 stages of getting shot:
denial
giddy relief
paranoia
revenge
healing (but this time was different, because when he tracked down the hitman who shot him, he killed him. not for justice, but for revenge)
not sure why he feels this time is different. it sounds like this time is what usually happens. unless he accidentally said revenge when he meant to say justice when he was recounting the fourth step earlier.

magnum’s client has him looking for some her kid and her ex.
meanwhile higgins is running like a summer camp for young boys. he taught them how to make that reed hat he wove when they were stranded on that deserted island. the kids are very disrespectful towards him, throwing caviar at his face and reed balls at windows.
magnum uncovers a syndicate that buys children and sells them to wealthy families. the police bust in on a mansion and arrest some dude and the client’s ex. the guy says the client’s child is long gone, and as he’s arrested magnum and the client are sitting there sulking, when they see the kid riding a tricycle on grass. so the guy was hoping they’d leave the kid alone in this abandoned mansion? wtf was the motivation for that lie?

Don Luis Higgins is yet another long lost identical half brother of jonathan higgins, of course. this one from south america.
don luis captures and ties up higgins and steals his identity. he plays in the televised chess match and wins in seven moves using magnum’s uncle’s rook blitz technique. higgins then dresses up in a fake beard and panama hat to pretend to be don luis.
don luis has been trying to foil an assassination attempt on the president of whatever south american country he’s from. he follows the assassin to the roof of the hotel while dressed as higgins, but is knocked unconscious immediately. higgins, dressed as don luis for some reason, meanwhile runs up to the president directly to warn him his limo has a bomb in it. the president doesn’t get in the limo and magnum kicks the gun out of the assassin’s hand when he gets onto the roof, and captures him.
magnum is limping throughout this episode, and doesn’t want to explain why. meanwhile at the end of the episode higgins appears to be allergic to the plants, which makes magnum question his reality as to whether higgins went to south america and don luis is now living with him in hawaii.

ep starts out with tc trying to stop some capitalists from bulldozing a clubhouse for tweens. he’s wearing a tshirt that says black national swimming & diving championship 1986 alabama a&m university.
magnum is there, trying to cool tensions between the two groups. the capitalist demands $5,000 a month to not bulldoze the clubhouse, which is like the size of a tool shed. when tc says he can’t pay, the capitalist has him and magnum arrested. higgins meets them in lockup to bail them out and excoriates them for disrespecting private property.
meanwhile rick is in new mexico winning one million dollars in a televised lottery wheel spin and falls in love. but some gangster poker players kidnap the girl and ransom her for the winnings. but the twist is she was working for the gangsters the whole time and after he hands them $420,000 cash, she walks back into their car and leaves with them.
but she’s so moved by how pathetic rick is, that she decides to bail magnum and tc out of jail (they went to jail a second time for trying to solve an off-screen mystery) and they both beat up the gangsters in their hotel room. the suitcase gets thrown out of the window and lands onto a moving truck carrying gourds, and they all consider it lost forever.
the girl apologizes to rick and goes home. they have a casablanca moment on the tarmac.
notable quotes:
“what are you gonna do with the money?”
“i’m gonna spend it!”

if you thought it was strange that the gangsters and our crew would just forget about $420,000 in cash and not spend an episode tracking it down and recovering it, consider that the clubhouse was bulldozed in front of the children and tc and magnum were jailed for protesting it, and that was the full resolution of that storyline lmao
magnum’s new client is like a vintage 1980s natasha lyonne type. not natasha lyonne in 1986, but an adult 2023 natasha lyonne placed in 1986 in the authentic 1986 style.
btw it’s the next episode and there’s zero conversation about the bulldozed clubhouse lmao what was the point of that? just to show how soulless capitalists are, i guess. magnum’s writers like to subtly insert leftist themes, and that’s pretty cool.
anyway natasha lyonne’s doppelganger is taking photos of road signs and takes a photo of some bad guys and the bad guys kidnap higgins’ semigirlfriend agatha. higgins saves the day and magnum is there too to point guns. agatha has both her ankles broken lol what a weird show
