Rick catches his terminal-cancer surrogate father Francis 'Icepick' Hofstetler preparing to do a 'last easy robbery' with a jail mate and believes to have stopped him, only to find him wounded after it went wrong. Icepick refuses to go to hospital and Katsumoto confirms Rick risks being accused of complicity by silence, so Magnum accepts to trail the fiend, but the case proves complicated. Meanwhile Magnum, who can't learn to control the guard dogs, plays his last card to avoid Higgins having to leave due to visa troubles: Robin Masters' lawyers, who come up with an unorthodox solution, leaving Magnum with mixed feelings.
