While Magnum waits for Higgins to decide if she'll officially become his partner, he takes the case of a missing wife who witnessed her boss' murder during a bank robbery.
This was a very interesting first episode that felt a little weird because it really didn't feel like a very good season opener episode it felt much better being an episode somewhere near the middle of a season because it missed out on a lot of the qualifications I think are needed for a season opener episode. What were the main problems is it didn't do a very good job of reintroducing a lot of the main characters both Rick and TC were barely in this episode and even with Higgins they didn't do a very good job of re-establishing her role within the team. I did really enjoy the storyline in this episode around the missing wife and her going on this vendetta to get revenge for the death of her friend and all the twists and turns that came along with the truth around what she was doing and why was very interesting and very surprising with how they chose to reveal everything. With Magnum and Higgins tracing the trail of all the different places that the wife went to was very interesting with how they ended up running into the bad guys they were looking for but didn't necessarily realize it and how all that was shown was fun to see. Then all the conflict between Magnum and Kazumoto due to what happened in the finale last season was very interesting to see how he was still refusing to work with Magnum and caused a lot of problems when Magnum was looking for help. Then the ending of this episode kind of bugged me because a bunch of different moments sort of feeling out of character was pretty much out of nowhere Rick decided to leave the club he's been running and find a new career. Then, Higgins, all the sudden decides to return to England to hear the offer given by MI6 to her, Higgins leaving instead of joining the group in their barbecue just felt very out of character. Overall this was a very good and interesting episode to watch and see how everything played out it just didn't feel like a very good season opener episode to me.
