Another of my Top 10 episodes. I voted it a 9.5...Father Paddy is a wonderful characterization and the scenes with him drinking and putting Irish Whisky in Higgins' decanter was priceless. The episode also has some inadvertent laughs, especially the "Hawaii as Ireland" scene, with the actors clearly sweating like mad in that winter gear! Plus the tour guide's dodgy Irish brogue. One of the best showcases for JH and I loved his account of how Paddy was conceived. Love that rich Higgins-family history!
The ending was a stunner.

Actually an English accent that. Being Irish I can't watch this episode without cringing. For a show that dealt with American / Vietnamese issues with such a deft touch, this cliched, painted-with-a-trowel version of Irish - English relationships is very disappointing.

James,
Have you checked the credits for that episode? Sometimes it is mentioned there "Thanks to ____________" or something along that line to indicate where that property is.
Just an idea that you have probably already taken care of.

| No one has mentioned TC's Philadelphia Eagles hat, which he is wearing in the final scene at the lighthouse. Does it ever make another appearance?

| Hi all! I just noticed that in the bar scene and also in the airport scene, Magnum is carrying the same Pineapple box that is used in a later, season 5, episode, "Tran quoc Jones," in which Mac attempts to bamboozle a couple goons out of their racketeering money.
