Shadows

Duncan leidet unter unheimlichen Visionen. Immer wieder sieht er eine Gestalt, die ihn angreift und gegen die er sich verteidigen muss. Sein alter Freund Garrick scheint dieselben Visionen zu haben.

MacLeod is tormented by visions of his own death, beheaded by a mysterious dark-hooded figure. Anne tries to convince him to seek medical help, but instead he turns to his old friend Garrick, who has spent centuries studying the mind. MacLeod saw Garrick in the 17th Century, when MacLeod barely escaped being burned as a witch. What MacLeod didn't know was that Garrick was not able to escape as well. Garrick convinces MacLeod that the dark-hooded figure is a racial memory that haunts all Immortals and that the way to defeat it is to not fight it, to accept it for what it is. When MacLeod, haggard and exhausted, faces the specter for the last time, puts down his sword and refuses to fight it, the figure goes for MacLeod's head -- until at the last moment MacLeod realizes the figure is Garrick, seeking his revenge after all these years. In the Tag, Anne, frustrated that MacLeod won't open up to her despite their intimate relationship, leaves him.

Mac Leod est hanté par des visions de sa propre mort, angoissé par ces incessants rêves, il préfère, malgré la présence d'Anne à ses côtés, en parler à son vieil ami immortel, Garrick. Il l'a connu au 17ème siècle, à l'époque où les deux hommes étaient menacés du bûcher.

MacLeod ha spesso terribili incubi in cui si vede ucciso da un uomo incappucciato. Mentre Anne è fortemente preoccupata per la salute del suo compagno, MacLeod riceve la visita di un vecchio amico, un immortale, che, in passato, ha sofferto di pazzia. Mac gli chiede aiuto, ma purtroppo si rivolge alla persona sbagliata.
