** Duncan lies to Amanda to try and keep her and Kit away from each other. Amanda know Duncan's lying, but thinks he's seeing another woman. To make matters worse, he ducks Amanda by leaving her with Richie. She uses seductive fast-talk to figure out Duncan's as the race track. When Richie catches up, all he offers for explanation is "It was [[MsFanservice Amanda]]. I never stood a chance." Duncan just nods like "Yeah, I should have seen that coming."

* "The Stone of Scone", a WholeEpisodeFlashback and another comedy episode, with Adrian Paul, Roger Daltrey, and Elizabeth Gracen clearly just having a ball. It starts with a HistoricalInJoke of Duncan [=MacLeod=] and Hugh Fitzcairn meeting in the tunnels under Parliament. Duncan's there to steal [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_of_Scone the Stone of Scone]] (pronounced "Scoon" in the episode), historically the throne of the rightful king of Scotland (placed under the throne of the King of England to make them the rightful king of Scotland as well). Fitz is there to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_Plot blow up Parliament with a wagon of gunpowder]]. HilarityEnsues as they fumble each other's plans, then meet on the field the following day to settle their differences. . . over a game of golf. Winner helps the loser with their plot (Hugh cheats). They still can't pull it off. Flash forward to the 1950s, and another golf game, this time with Amanda tagging along. Fitz tries to cheat again the exact same way he did before, but Amanda catches him, leading Duncan to realize that he should have won all those years ago, and now calls in Hugh's assistance to steal the Stone. Amanda, thinking something impressively named "The Stone of Scone," and Duncan considering so important, must be an impressive and expensive gem, wants in on the heist to pay off her debts. More comedic errors ensue, resulting in Duncan replacing a fake stone that he accidentally cracked in half while making it (another HistoricalInJoke, see Wiki/ThatOtherWiki link for details). The real stone is sitting at the golf course where all this silliness started, two little old Scottish ladies using it as a bench. And as Amanda points out, whoever sits on the Stone is the rightful king of Scotland. . .

* In "Money No Object," to get information on an old car, Duncan pretends to be a pretentious French film director, complete with an outrageous accent. Richie's expression when he starts is priceless as he doesn't want to ruin whatever scam Mac is pulling but can barely keep a straight face.

-->'''Duncan''': ''Movies?!'' I make film history!
-->'''Richie''': You heard the man, film history.

I'm Candy." And shutting the door to get down to business.

The sultan brings out dancing girls, Duncan senses the presence of another Immortal and starts bracing for a fight. . . but it's Amanda as one of the dancers.
