SOMETHING WICKED
Hayokas are holy men, revered among Native Americans for being able to
draw the evil and hate from others into themselves. Of course, most
are mortal and die before they're overwhelmed by all that evil, but
what happens to an 800 year-old Immortal who took it on himself to
become Hayoka for the world 150 years before?

Flashbacks
| 1872-3, Pacific
North West, USA
A murderous Duncan MacLeod is consumed by thoughts of revenge as he
tracks Kern (see C2, 'Line of
Fire'). After being captured for attacking a group of white
soldiers, he's incarcerated with Kol T'ek, who uses his powers as
Hayoka to draw the hatred out him. |
| 1958, Greenwich, New York, USA
Coltec beats MacLeod to the head of psychotic Immortal Bryce Korland,
and the first signs that Coltec may have taken on too much evil
begin to show. |
Other Immortals
| Richie |
| Jim Coltec/Kol T'ek |
| Harry Kant |
| Bryce Korland |
Trivia
| Bryon Chief-Moon is a dancer as well as an actor.
He helped found the Coyote Arts Percussive Performance Association (CAPPA),
which performs across Canada. |
| This is Richie's last appearance during the
fourth season. As his first appearance in season five (E2,
'End of Innocence') implies, he's staying away from MacLeod during
this period. |
| Duncan ends the episode boarding a ship that will
eventually deposit him in France. Lucky that, eh? |
Verdict
One of Highlander's stand-out episodes, this is a powerful,
perfectly plotted setup for MacLeod's Dark Quickening, with everything
from the flashbacks and scenes in the present spot on. If you want to
show someone the essence of this show, start here. A
