Magnum and Higgins struggle to survive when they're boatjacked and left adrift in open ocean.
Tropes:
- The Gadfly: Magnum enjoys teasing Higgins, especially when she questions his detecting prowess.Magnum: I found out you were MI6.
Higgins: I'm still baffled by that. When are you gonna tell me how you worked that out?
Magnum: When it stops driving you crazy. - No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Magnum and Higgins rescue a man from the ocean, only to be boatjacked and left for dead.Brandon Leeds: Great yacht. [Draws pistol] I think I'll take it.
- Only a Flesh Wound: Higgins tries to downplay her injury when she and Magnum end up in the water after she's been shot.Higgins: I'm fine. I'm just nicked in the arm.
Magnum: That's not a nick. The bullet could have hit your artery. We need to dress that immediately. - Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: Magnum has never heard of Charles Foster Kane, while Higgins has no idea who Tom Brady is, mistaking him for the dad on The Brady Bunch.
- Shout-Out:
- Higgins says Robin Masters isn't Charles Foster Kane.
- Higgins is reading Robin's first book, "Queen's Gambit." This is the name of the boat that leaves Oliver Queen shipwrecked in Arrow.
- A boat called The Minnow is seen in the marina.
- Skewed Priorities:
- When boatjacked at gunpoint, Higgins' focus is on her professional pride as guardian of Robin's property.
Brandon Leeds: Now, get off the boat.
Higgins: No, I'm sorry, I, uh... I won't be doing that.
Brandon Leeds: Excuse me? What do you mean "no"?
Higgins: Well, this isn't my vessel to surrender. It belongs to my employer.
Brandon Leeds: [Indicates gun] Well, you see this? This means I make the rules, not you.- Continues after she and Magnum are stranded in open ocean.
Higgins: [Bleeding from a gunshot wound] Magnum, they're getting away! - Snark Knight: Not even being held at gunpoint will stop Magnum from mouthing off.Brandon Leeds: You say another word and I'll shoot you instead!
Magnum: Another word.
