While trying to prevent the robbery of an Egyptian artifact, MacGyver suffers a serious fall and slips into a coma, during which he encounters his long dead parents and recently deceased grandfather. He is given the option to join them in the afterlife.
Tropes present in this episode:
- Adventures in Comaland: Significant parts of the episode take place while MacGyver is in a coma.
- Backup from Otherworld: Harry, having already died sometime before the episode. Keeps trying to help MacGyver get back to the living world. Eventually helping him in escaping the "ship" destined to take those aboard to the "other side".
- Earn Your Happy Ending: It's a close call, but MacGyver (with a little help from Harry) manages to make it back to the land of the living. Along with preventing Pete from being assassinated by the same men who tried to kill him.
