Flashbacks

1917, near the Western Front, France MacLeod has chosen to take part in World War I, but instead of fighting he's decided to join the Red Cross and help the dying and wounded of both sides. While taking cover from an external attack, the pay van is ambushed by Xavier, who kills everyone with mustard gas as he steals the money.

Other Immortals

	Darius
	Xavier St Cloud

Trivia

	Roland Gift is best known as the lead singer in 80s pop trio Fine Young Cannibals, but he also developed an acting career in parallel, which included supporting roles in Sammy and Rosie Get Laid, and Scandal. Visit his official Web site here.
	Xavier loses his hand at the end of the episode, proving that Immortals don't have the recuperative power to grow new limbs. He makes four more appearances in Highlander: B14-15, 'Unholy Alliance, parts one and two; C21, 'Finale, part one'; and D19, 'Double Jeopardy'.

Verdict
An interesting episode, especially as it seems to mark a shift away from 'Duncan killing the Immortal of the Week episode', giving the show more legs for a longer run. We'll even forgive the later flashbacks from 'Finale' and 'Double Jeopardy', both of which are set before 1917 - I guess it's not implicitly implied that Duncan and Xavier's first meeting was on the battlefield in World War I.
