PRODIGAL SON
Richie returns, on the run, turning to
MacLeod for help. An Immortal has been following him, refusing to
confront him, but committing grisly murders wherever Richie goes.
Richie is eventually arrested for the murders. Mac learns that
Immortal hunter Martin Hyde is behind the murders: considering the
Quickening of a green Immortal like Richie not worth the taking, Hyde
has been hounding him in order to drive him to his teacher.

Flashbacks

While Connor is away in Aberdeen on business, a raw Duncan MacLeod
comes up against the far more seasoned Martin Hyde for the first
time, and is lucky to escape with his head. |

Paris, France
Hyde kills Mac's friend Segur, considering the Highlander still too
green to make a worthy Quickening. |

| Martin Hyde |
| Segur |
Trivia
| Michael Siberry will be instantly recognisable to
fans of ITV's Jeeves and Wooster, in which he played the
character of Bingo Little. He's also played opposite two Sherlock
Holmes - Jeremy Brett in 1984 and Christopher Lee in 1990, and
returned to the Highlander universe playing Frank Brennan in
Highlander: The Raven. |
| This is Richie's first appearance in season two
since B12, 'Under Color of Authority'. |
Verdict
Richie returns, and the result is a good (although not by recent
standards) yarn. Plus, am I the only person who thinks that Hyde looks
like a cross between Keifer Sutherland and Eddie Izzard? B-
