Higgins and Kumu are in danger when Robin's Nest is taken by mercenaries. The situation becomes even more dire when they find out what the intruders are looking for; the identity of the "White Knight," Robin's codename for Magnum.

!!Tropes:

* BigDamnHeroes: Higgins, Rick, T.C. and Katsumoto rescue Thomas from the mercenaries.
* BittersweetEnding: Higgins, Kumu and Magnum are all safe and Magnum's identity is safe for now, but the mercenaries were hired by a GreaterScopeVillain who wants him for some unknown, and presumably nefarious, reason.
* CallForward: A BigBad known only as "Ivan" is looking for Magnum, for reasons the gang will learn in "[[Recap/MagnumPI2018S02E11DayIMetTheDevil Day I Met the Devil]]".
* ColdSniper: Rick's sniper skills are instrumental in the rescue of Thomas. Rick shoots out the leg of the chair he's tied to, making Thomas fall out of the way of the ensuing firefight.
* DudeInDistress: While trying to save Higgins and Kumu, Magnum is revealed to the mercenaries as their target and kidnapped. He's tied to a chair in an AbandonedWarehouse as his captors await their employer.
* ShoutOut:
** Higgins asks Magnum if she [[Film/JerryMaguire "completes him."]]
** The GreaterScopeVillain responsible for the episode's events is known only as "Ivan." In the original series, Ivan was a Russian agent who orchestrated the events of "Did You See The Sun Rise?"
* WaterTorture: To find out who "The White Knight" is, the gang's ringleader waterboards Higgins with water from the ornamental pond. She's disappointed when he's killed in the climactic fight, because "I had unpleasant plans for that one."
