LEADER OF THE PACK
Immortals are always looking for that advantage that can keep them
ahead of their brethren. Peter Kanis uses a pack of hunting dogs to
harass, exhaust and finally corner his prey for an easy kill. It's a
tactic that's worked for centuries, and now he's out to settle a
200-year score with one Duncan MacLeod. In the meantime, Richie
stumbles on a guy he's convinced was the man who shot Tessa and
triggered his immortality - and he wants revenge.

unaware of his true nature. |

Verdict
Too much filler material from earlier episodes and an unconvincing
main villain (surely someone worked out how to deal with his dogs
before Duncan did?) mar what is otherwise a reasonably strong story,
especially the scenes dealing with Richie and the discovery of the man
who shot Tessa. B
