The gang goes to see Mac's old immortal friend, Gregor, who is having an exhibit of his work along with other photographers. Gregor, as it turns is in a dark place in his life, is extremely depressed, and is obsessed with death as his photos attest to.
At the exhibit, Mac meets an old lover, Linda Plager, a photographer Mac knew in the 1920's or 1930's. She recognizes Mac. She's old now and later believes she was foolish for thinking he was the same person. Mac learns that she is dying.
You think the main story is about Gregor, who gets a lot of screen-time, but the real story is about Linda Plager and Duncan. Less screen-time but more impact.
I thought Gregor was kind of a jerk. I know he's mentally ill with depression and acting out violently and obsessed with death, but he didn't do anything for me. I didn't feel sorry for him. I just didn't like him. Tessa didn't like him either after he made a comment about how she was gonna keep getting older and die and Duncan would fall for somebody else. Yeah, jerk! All the stuff with poor Richie being picked on by this guy, ugh, go away.
Linda Plager is in the hospital dying. Duncan decides to tell her it's really him. I love that Tessa encouraged him to tell her. Linda always wanted him to be proud of her, and he tells her he is. Their scenes are sad and touching, you might actually get a bit teary-eyed. The flashbacks about them and their current-day scenes are what made this episode special. Great job by Adrian Paul and Sheila Moore, both delivering all the right emotions. I gave it an 8/10.
