Gordon Katsumoto was the star of Magnum P.I. Season 5 Episode 13.
Not solely did an undercover Gordie assist Magnum and Higgins find a lacking chef and shut down a theft ring, however he additionally bought to indulge his cooking pastime as a chef at a high-end restaurant.
Even higher, he participated in making a thank-you dinner with Konoa, the recovered government chef, for Thomas and Juliet.
It’s all the time nice when a supporting character akin to Katsumoto positive factors added depth via a highlight episode akin to that.
It confirmed there’s extra to him than the dour detective who typically rags on the 2 P.I.s for his or her borderline unlawful practices.
So what are Magnum and Higgins as much as on Magnum P.I. Season 5 Episode 14?
According to the logline equipped by NBC, “Magnum and Rick race to discover a lacking witness who can exonerate an harmless man accused of homicide.”
That brings up a few questions.
The most necessary is “Where is Higgins?”
One of the equipped promotional photographs exhibits Juliet consulting with Gordie at HPD. So, presumably she’s engaged on a special case?
It by no means hurts to shuffle across the mixtures of characters working collectively. Kumu helped on a case on Magnum P.I. Season 5 Episode 12, then Katsumoto was featured within the final episode.
With T.C. nonetheless rehabilitating, that is smart; it is Rick’s flip this outing.
Rick has a specialised ability set, which is helpful if some black-market data or sniping is required. Also, he is aware of a lot of individuals. And you hear issues working a bar.
Also, Rick has been extra within the background because the sequence’ return, first selecting between Piper and Suzy after which overlaying as coach for T.C.’s youth-league baseball crew.
Also, this offers Rick and Thomas an opportunity to catch up.
Maybe Rick might get a proof about why the fish within the La Mariana aquarium seem totally different.
How this case lands in Thomas’s lap is not clear.
But one picture exhibits him and RIck assembly with presumably his jailed shopper. Another reveals them speaking to an M.E. over a physique.
And for some cause, they spend time strolling via an auto graveyard.
So, who is that this mysterious witness that may clear their shopper? And why are they racing towards time?
All can be revealed at 9/8c on Wednesday on NBC.
And what’s Juliet as much as? The NBC logline offers no trace about that. It should be one thing severe, not simply an appointment that she has.
And will she be out there to analysis for Thomas as a result of we all know him and computer systems? It’s not fairly.
Also, Magnum and Rick aren’t precisely fashions of restraint. That, too, is Higgins’ division.
But then Thomas and Rick had been a part of a secret army unit, so they might mix in after they selected to.
The remainder of NBC’s logline reads, “T.C. tries to restore his relationship with Mahina after being launched from the V.A.”
The important a part of that sentence is “after being launched from the V.A.”
That means T.C. has made sufficient progress that his medical doctors permit him to obtain outpatient remedy.
He will get to go residence, though he’s not possible again to work but.
It was disappointing that, throughout T.C.’s rehab, few appearances had been made by Shammy, final seen on Magnum P.I. Season 5 Episode 11.
If anybody might perceive what T.C. was going via, it was Shammy.
Sure, Shammy was holding Island Hoppers afloat. But certainly, he’d have time to go to T.C.
Shammy might have been an inspirational instance to T.C. But as a substitute, it was T.C.’s gamers cheering him on as he made that essential journey throughout the bars. That was fairly heartwarming.
Unwilling to just accept anybody’s assist, T.C. shut out everybody round him early in his rehabilitation when his progress was sluggish.
T.C.’s associates had been understanding and gave him room.
His mom, Verna, flew in as soon as she heard from North Carolina, ignoring his objections after she arrived.
But his firefighter girlfriend Mahina did not have to just accept his conduct. She wished to be there for him throughout this difficult time, and he gave the impression to be shutting her out.
He known as and invited Magnum to go to. He could not do the identical for supposedly the most necessary particular person in his life?
T.C.’s associates had one another for help. Shammy had the enterprise to run. Kumu was there for Cade.
But T.C. and Mahina’s relationship is comparatively new, and she or he hasn’t been totally built-in into his circle of family and friends.
She had nobody to help her. So, Mahina’s proper to be indignant or not less than very annoyed with him.
Then once more, T.C. is amidst what’s arguably the worst expertise of his life, so she has to provide him an entire lot of latitude. Walking away from a man preventing to return from paralysis would not be a very good look.
Likewise, it is in all probability not take a lot for T.C. to win her again. He wants to speak from the center and clarify what he is been going via. But speaking about his emotions has by no means been his robust go well with.
Check out a preview of Wednesday’s episode beneath, after which come again for a assessment on Wednesday.
Are you trying ahead to Thomas and Rick teaming up on an investigation?
Any ideas about what Juliet is as much as?
Will T.C. mend his relationship with Mahina?
