Loved seeing Kenny's origin story told, and Amanda's place in it. Loved Mac's comedic jealous routine over Amanda and Kenny's affection.

Warning: Spoilers
Kenny from the episode 'The Lamb,' is back with another immortal hot on his trail, Terrence Kincaid. Kenny runs into Anne who helps him. Later Duncan shows up and he knows Kincaid from the past. Duncan reluctantly agrees to help Kenny bringing him back home, and it turns out Amanda knows Kenny.

Remember in 'Song of the Executioner' when Anne saw Duncan die? Wouldn't she have told her friends and co-workers at the time, "Omigod, my boyfriend died?" I mean Duncan hung at the hospital all the time. They knew him there. What about her baby daddy that she hooked up with? She was grieving and had sex with an old friend. That old friend must have been told Duncan was dead. They never cover this, as if tho the writers forgot that Anne saw him die. Duncan just kinda comes back into town despite the fact that Anne must have told other people at the time.

Cool seeing the origin story of Kenny. He was an innocent little boy. Amanda was his teacher. No wonder Kenny ended up so evil! Whatever happened to Michelle from 'Rite of Passage?' She evil too? Just kidding. Kenny learned to use his innocence as a weapon from Amanda, but I'm guessing that along the way he must have run into an immortal who influenced him in an evil way. Good to see Myles Ferguson back. He was a great actor as I mention in 'The Lamb.'

So Kincaid was left on an island to starve and die over and over again? What about Nefertiri in 'Pharoah's Daughter?' She was like entombed for 2000 years and came through it looking like a hot babe, not starving or anything. Ah well, these immortal details are so sketchy at times, aren't they? Unfortunately, it also cheapens the mythos.

Amanda thinking she was maternal, and Duncan not so much was hilarious. Loved Duncan's comedic jealous routine over Kenny's and Amanda's affection for each other. "I'm done," as he walks away from dinner, said like a jealous little boy and his pouting expression priceless. Or later, "disappointed?" Great job getting some comedy in there Adrian Paul!

I'm guessing that after Duncan and the crew exiled Kincaid on that island, that is when he washed up in Japan from a shipwreck, as shown in the episode 'The Samurai.' It's the same year of 1778 in the South Pacific, and Duncan has the same clothes on at the beginning of 'The Samurai.' Bravo to good consistency here.

Kenny kissing Amanda was kind of creepy, wasn't it? I'm glad Amanda defended her man. It's pretty surprising the writers let a female protect Duncan given the blatant sexism of always writing women as bad fighters. But then again, Kenny was in a kid's body, so I guess that's why they gave this one to her. Loved Duncan's smug expression to Kenny when Amanda defended Duncan. Hilarious.

The Anne and Amanda stuff was awkward and weird. Not needed in my opinion.

I like that some more interesting history was shown of Duncan and how you could connect it to the 'Samurai' episode. I loved seeing another flashback of Amanda and seeing Kenny's origins. I gave the episode a 9/10.
