This episode was an alright wrap up to the series. The only thing that could have made this better was having Larry Manetti in this episode & having Tom Selleck playing Robin Masters for the finale. It could have been better if there was more of a conclusion regarding the reason for the case in this episode. Leaving a potential recurring villain at the series finale does not indicate that it was known this would be the last season. If anything, there should have been a "season 6" that is only four episodes that would have possibly given the show a better conclusion. Leaving it so open ended just leaves people wondering, " where could the show have gone if it continued ?"

Good Season Final
doug2go4 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I was looking forward to a good Series Final and what I got was a good Season Final that left me flat and uninspired to watch reruns . The show itself was pretty good , action , romance , humor and some drama - but the ending was clearly designed for a Season 6 to resolve Magnums commitment phobic resistance to marriage , even with his arms around a receptive Higgins - I still gave it an 8 for a good show and a nice try at an ending but it just missed the mark - the ring should have been for Higgins - not Rick and it would have made a world of difference in how I felt about watching reruns - nothing really changed from the ending of Season 4 except a build up of the Magnum - Higgins romance to a season 5 ending let down.
