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.

Moving!

Bravo! Excellent episode! One of, if not THE best, of the season. Very moving and a very touching sendoff in the series for Kumu. The writers really knew how to build and advance the the suspense and drama. Even though the show obviously centers around Magnum and the cases, it was great to see the character development and closure for Kumu in a very unique way. I'm bummed to not have any more episodes of Magnum to look forward to as I feel like this episode could have transitioned into a number of different subplots, but alas, it tied a very neat bow on things. Although truly circumstantial, I also appreciated the vet on the phone being from Chicagoland as that is where I'm from too and have many former military friends who struggle with similar issues.
