Magnum is visiting Bob, a terminally ill Vietnam vet, and wins his confidence -over steak with bourbon- to reunites him with his estranged once-doted draft-dodged brother Daddy, who hired Thomas. Higgins is hired by teen brat Ella Bolton, to investigate the triple homicide that her late mother had been working on as last police case. Despite her father Cole objecting to it all, hence she had a friend impersonate him, indirectly cued by surviving son Adam Akamu, they discover one murdered parent had an affair with a neighbor, only not his suspect but Clara Bolton, who had killed them all including accidentally her lover. Clara tries to gas herself and Higgins, but they are rescued by Gordon, who already discover her criminal record. Rick is delighted when Suzy finally returns, but she wants to live apart for fear of a breakup wrecking their parenting of the unborn.
