INNOCENT MAN
An Immortal friend of MacLeod's (Lucas
Desiree) is beheaded in his isolated mountain retreat where he had
hoped - like MacLeod - to retire from the fight for a while. A
brain-damaged, homeless veteran is charged with the grisly crime, and
an attempt is made to link him to the killing of Slan Quince. MacLeod
must try and clear the innocent man and unravel the mystery of who
killed his friend.

Flashbacks

later dug up by Lucas. |

| Lucas Desiree |
| Howard Crowley |
Trivia
| Lucas Desiree is the first Immortal in the series
to be killed by an Immortal other than Duncan MacLeod - as you might
expect, it's not the last, either. |
| Amanda Wyss makes her first appearance as probing
journalist Randi McFarland in this episode. She also appears in
episodes A6, A8,
A11, A12 and
A13. |
| This was actually the second episode shown in the
show's initial run, presumably because of the link to Slan Quince
from 'The Gathering' (A1). |
Verdict
It's understandable why this episode was promoted ahead of the awful
'Family Tree' (A2). It's also interesting to see
what survived - and what didn't - from these early episodes (in this
case, the idea of Immortals being pursued by the law for beheading).
