Episode Title Original Airdate
84 Echoes of the Mind Part 1 September 27, 1984 A young, paranoid woman named Diane DuPre' hires Magnum to investigate strange events happening around her. She claims to have a twin sister named Dierdre stalking her. While he's working for her Magnum begins to sense when she's in danger. Magnum breaks his number one rule and becomes romantically involved with a female client. Diane begins to show signs of paranoid delusions when she calls Thomas in a panic claiming to have shot a man a her residence. Magnum and Higgins arrive after the phone call to investigate only to find no obvious signs of an attack. By this time, Magnum has become so smitten with Diane, he stays at her residence out of concern for her well being. The episode ends with Magnum taking a shower and Diane stepping in to join him (or is it Dierdre?).
85 Echoes of the Mind Part 2 October 4, 1984 Part two begins with Dierdre and Magnum talking of Diane's residence the morning after Thomas' sleepover. Diedre begins to disparage Diane as week and naive, and herself as much more sexy and strong. By this time, it's become much more apparent to Thomas that Diane has multiple personalities. Diane finally becomes too distraught to live and commits suicide in the episode's final scene.
86 Mac's Back October 11, 1984 Magnum becomes depressed since everyone important in his life ends up dying early or taken away from him. His father, his first wife, Michelle, and most recently, his love Diane, as well as his friend Lieutenant MacReynolds from the Naval Intelligence Agency Mac was blown up in the Ferrari. After a period of about a month of sitting on the beach and mourning Diane, Magnum cranks up the Ferrari and drives into Honolulu. While in downtown, Magnum sees a group of tourists and among them is a Sailor in his Class A uniform bearing a strong resemblance to Mac! Magnum rushes back to Robin's nest to tell his friends and they think Magnum has really gone off the deep end this time. They fear Magnum has really gone off the deep end. 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 gambling illegally. The "new Mac" is gracious enough to make an appearance at Robin's nest to prove he isn't a figment of Magnum's imagination.
87 The Legacy of Garwood Huddle October 18, 1984 An old friend of Higgins named Garwood Huddle turns up at the Estate after having escaped from prison. Garwood was a notorious bank robber in the 1940s recruited by Higgins during World War II to steal Nazi intelligence from a bank in Mexico City.

The reason Garwood has escaped from prison is to recover his kidnapped-toddler grandson, Garwood III. Garwood III has been ransomed for $200,000, which Garwood has claimed to have hidden under the site of a modern day massage parlor. Magnum and Garwood drive to the massage parlor in the middle of the night and begin to serruptitiously rip up the floor looking for the money. Magnum agrees to help recover to help Garwood III on the condition Garwood stay hidden at Robin's Nest with Higgins until he finds the little boy. Only Garwood tails Magnum through the entire episode,eventually helping him pin down the culprit. A television interview given on local TV showing discrepancies in statements between the toddler's stepfather and mother give Magnum the clue he needs to solve the crime and find little Garwood, thus reuniting the family.

88 Under World October 25, 1984 A psychic insurance investigator named Laura hires Magnum to solve a vision of what she sees as her own fatal shooting. She finds Magnum after seeing his picture on the front page of the local newspaper naming Magnum, instead of Higgins as the person holding auditions for an upcoming charity telethon (The catalyst for the B-storyline). The person who dies in the shooting is not Laura at all. Instead it's Magnum.

A strange series of events, including a wild car chase through a dockside market, helps Magnum determine a former client of his is trying to steal a valuable bottle of wine from a deceased gangster's grave and wants him dead for knowing finding out his wife was having an affair

132 Death and Taxes October 29, 1986 Around the 4th of July, while T.C. and Rick are on an island excursion and Higgins is at a writer's convention, Magnum begins the hated task of filling out his 1040 forms for a tax audit with the help of Lt. Maggie Poole. While trying to complete the task, Magnum is interrupted by a phonecall from a crazed maniac serial killer with a nursery rhyme for him. The man then hints that he knew about Felipe(from "Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii:). Magnum calls Lt. Page, who responds by ignoring Thomas' complaint. When a prostitute, and former client of Magnum's is found dead on Hotel Street, Magnum is alerted and ties together the murder with the nursery rhyme. After several more phonecalls and another prostitute murdered, Magnum confronts the killer, who himself is killed by Magnum for trying to murder a newsreporter who had nagged Magnum the whole episode and had given the killer the name, "The Ripper". After finding out the identity of the man as Milton Collins, a former client, Magnum concludes that he had "died with all the secrets", as Magnum never found out how he knew about Felipe, but that Collins wanted to make a name for himself and wanted to be appreciated by Magnum for doing him a favor in return for the assistance he got from Thomas when he was his client. Magnum then sails off into the ocean on his surfski to spend the 4th alone in thought(as seen in the episode Home from the Sea). Perhaps the darkest and most macabre of all the episodes, "Death and Taxes" features, for the first time in the series, a song from popular culture: Genesis', "Mama".

144 Laura February 25, 1987 After being persuaded by Rick to take on a $10,000 missing person's case involving another P.I., Magnum at first is reluctant, and follows up a lead, which ends in the "P.I" that hired Magnum showing up and a brawl in a hotel bar. Magnum, Rick, and the "P.I." are arrested. Magnum learns that the P.I. is really retired Det. Sgt. Michael Doheny (Frank Sinatra) of the NYPD. Doheny then asks Magnum to help find a runaway named Kenneth Geiger. After Geiger's buddy, Dustin Murray is killed after being chased by Magnum and Doheny, Magnum finds out that Geiger and Murray were acquitted on the rape and murder of a young girl in Queens, New York named Laura O'Hara. Magnum then fins and assists Doheny with the help of Rick and HPD Lt. Page in tracking down Geiger. After Doheny disappears, Magnum finds out that Laura was Doheny's granddaughter. After a search through the Hotel Street Vice District for Doheny, featuring Genesis' hit song, "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight", Magnum finds Doheny on a rooftop of a parking garage. Doheny had confronted Geiger with a gun, and proceeded to beat him to death. After Geiger pulled a knife, Doheny continued beating Geiger, who finally stumbled and fell off the roof to his death. The final scene shows Doheny putting flowers on Laura's grave, saying "We got 'em honey, we got 'em". One of the darkest and saddest episodes of the series, it is also Frank Sinatra's last major film or television performance.

148 Limbo April 15, 1987 Originally meant to be the final episode of the series, Magnum is critically wounded in a dockside warehouse firefight after being caught by surprise and running out of ammo. Ending up in a coma, Magnum "wakes up" in "Limbo" with the real Mac. For most of the episode, as Magnum walks around with Mac on Earth, he refuses to believe that he is "dead", and only dreaming, even though everyone else can't hear or see him. But, after concluding that it's starting to turn into the "worst dream he ever had", Magnum finally chooses to accept that fact that he isn't coming back to earth. Reluctantly, and sadly, Magnum says his goodbyes to everyone and willingly lets Michelle (who has re-married) and Lilly go after saving Michelle from the men who shot him. Throughout the episode, John Denver's song "Looking for Space" plays in its entirety, and ends as Magnum walks off into the clouds.

When Ki is set free under a loophole, Magnum becomes bitter, and tries to gain information about the whereabouts of Michelle and Lily from Buck, who refuses, explaining that the Navy has done everything in its power to ensure their safety. But when Magnum receives a videotape from Ki of the murder of Michelle and Lily in a car explosion, Magnum vows revenge. Breaking-and-entering and gathering all the information about the whereabouts of Ki that he can, Magnum arms himself with a sniper rifle and commando gear, determined to kill Ki. However, when Maggie tells him that Ki will be exchanged for an American P.O.W. released from Vietnam after being held captive for over twenty years, Magnum reluctantly doesn't kill Ki on account of keeping relations between the U.S. and Vietnamese good in order to free more P.O.W.'s from the Vietnam War. The saddest episode of the series and a fan favorite, likewise with "Death and Taxes" and "Laura", "Unfinished Business" features Genesis' song, "The Brazilian" as Magnum prepares for revenge against Ki.
