One of my favorite MacGyver episodes!

Warning: Spoilers
I really enjoyed this episode --- a very imaginative plot, and with so much excitement and human-interest warmth all the way through! I especially loved the ethereal "dream images" of the "car on the water" with its comically creepy-sounding horn reminiscent of "The Car" (and later "Duel"), and of the enthusiastic uninhibited performance and wild whooping of the "Moorish warrior". I also thought that it was such an admirable idea for the episode to focus on helping physically challenged and underprivileged people, especially young students who still had their whole lives ahead of them. Mac's heartwarming friendship with Carrie and her pre-teen students shows first-hand how these infirm humans can be just as friendly and likable as "normal" folks, and it reminds me of another MacGyver episode "Second Chance", where Mac helps another pleasant-natured young girl who relies on a portable dialysis machine to stay alive.
