- It's no wonder you're all still single.—Juliette Higgins
Magnum is hired to find the truth about his client's father's murder. His investigation leads to a killer who seems to be targeting wealthy men on a dating app, so Magnum poses as a doctor to go undercover.
Tropes:
- Call-Back: Magnum tells Higgins, "I was with somebody that I thought was the one, and she hurt me in ways that I didn't think were possible," presumably referring to Hannah.
- Crossover: Dennis Chun appears as HPD Sergeant Duke Lukela.
- Hidden Depths: Magnum reveals some background facts about himself; he grew up in Virginia, loves baseball and hates operas, had a Mexican uncle who took him to rodeos and he wanted to be a bull rider when he was nine. He also speaks two languages, presumably English and Spanish although he doesn't specify.
- Satellite Love Interest: While undercover, Magnum meets Abby Miller, who's pretty understanding about the fact that everything he told her when they met was a lie. Their involvement continues into Season 2.
- Shout-Out: Magnum mentions Tony Stark.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Magnum is hired by Karen McDowell to find out why her father took out his life savings right before being carjacked and murdered. Magnum's investigation leads to a dating app, but Katsumoto that Karen is the real culprit. In fact, it was Cleo.Magnum: So what you're saying is hiring me was nothing more than a smoke screen?
Katsumoto: Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
