This is an excellent episode; I watched it last night!

Me too. For a 1980s show, MPI had a lot of strong female characters, though many of them were villains but what diff does that make?
I love how Higgins is so charmed by her when they are painting together. He has this laugh that feels a bit forced and felt flirtatious to me. Love it!
This was the sweetest. Yes he was 100% flirting with her with the double entendre native girl story which I don't really believe for a moment
but was clearly intended to have two meanings, leaving it up to her to interpret his intent. I'd like to know what her sign language meant, but it seemed to indicate she understood the double meaning bc they shared a laugh. Then when he moved it into more personal territory and she got uncomfortable he immediately backed off and made as if he were just kidding and totally not coming on to her or anything. Very sweet, the dude does not get enough credit for sensitivity.
And I love how everyone chips in to try and help her. Higgins in the Magnum garb was a hoot!
The Magnum Walk makes me almost cry with laughter, the higher-pitched voice, the switch to words with fewer syllables, the "Hi guy!"...
