Magnum enlists Gordon's help in locating David Carter, a family father who suddenly disappeared on vacation with wife Dana and daughter Mia. They learn the man is unwilling to be found, frantic, using the stolen identity of a dead man since ten years, and find out about the mob connection which catches up with him in goon-shapes. Higgins and Kumu help a spoiled-rotten rich woman who believes her cherished, badly trained dog unexpectedly died, having eaten lemon squares laced with strychnine, probably meant for the dog's even less popular owner, who recently broke up an engagement, yet find the motive twisted further. Rick finds evidence that Magnum is 'seeing' someone all the way into bed, but he and T.C. and aren't yet sure that it's Higgins.
