THE LADY AND THE TIGER
A day at the circus reunites MacLeod
with a former lover, the Immortal femme-fatale, Amanda, who has always
meant big trouble for him. Amanda, meanwhile, is in trouble of her own
as her former partner, Zachary Blaine, has escaped from prison and
wants her head. She plays the two Immortal men against each other,
drawing MacLeod into a daring, high-stakes burglary she and Blaine are
plotting.

Flashbacks
| 1804, Bavaria
Mac is Amanda's lover in Bavaria. Unfortunately, he's surplus to
requirements - and she uses him as a diversion when she robs a local
duchess. |
Other Immortals
| Amanda |
| Zachary Blaine |
Trivia
| Jason Isaacs has gone on to bigger things with
roles in Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, and the
most recent remake of Peter Pan. Check out his full résumé
here. |
| This episode is the first (of many) to feature
Elizabeth Gracen in the role of Amanda, an Immortal thief and con.
She later starred as Amanda in the short-lived series,
Highlander: The Raven. |
| If Mac and Amanda are to be believed, they
haven't met for around 70 years at the time of this episode. This is
contradicted in later episodes, most notably
B7, 'The Return of Amanda', and
E16, 'The Stone of Scone'. |
Verdict
A disappointment, but look at it this way: things could only get
better between Mac and Amanda. Thankfully they did. C+
