As the Magnum series winds down, this second to the last episode is a nice tribute to Amy Hill and her character, Kumu. I always enjoyed the past episodes that featured Hill's Kumu in a predominant way. Hill played Kumu in a no-nonsense and straightforward, yet very endearing, manner that was quite delightful. Here, she is given a lot to do, as a secret from Kumu's past is revealed in an intriguing way. And by her side the entire time is Rick, played so nicely by Zachary Knighton. Kumu was often the one who kept Magnum's three male cohorts in line, but Kumu and Rick always seemed to have a particular affinity for each other, and that comes across here in a special way. Intentionally or not, the producers and writers of the show did not end the series without recognizing the character of Kumu and the talents of Hill, who always played her with great style.
