Plot summary

Following the death of Diane, Magnum becomes depressed thinking about those in his life who have died or been taken from him, including his father, his wife, and his friend Lieutenant "Mac" MacReynolds (who was killed in " Did You See the Sunrise?: Part 1 "). After a period of mourning, Magnum drives to Honolulu, where he sees a uniformed sailor bearing a strong resemblance to "Mac" ( Jeff MacKay ). Magnum rushes back to Robin's nest to tell his friends, and they think Magnum is off. Magnum combs Honolulu and Pearl Harbor before he finds that "Mac" is another Naval officer trying to get some Marine Corps pilots off the hook for illegal gambling. The "new Mac" makes an appearance at Robin's nest to prove he is not a figment of Magnum's imagination.
