451"The Samurai"Dennis BerryNaomi JanzenSeptember 26, 1994 (1994-09-26)94301
After Midori Koto sees her husband, rich industrialist Michael Kent, murder her lover, she kills Kent and runs to Duncan for protection. She reminds Duncan of a vow of protection his "ancestor" (actually Duncan himself) made to her family over 200 years before. Flashbacks tell the story of Duncan coming to the aid of the samurai Hideo Koto after Duncan is shipwrecked in Japan. Hideo befriends Duncan – even though the penalty for helping a "barbarian" in isolationist Japan is death. When Hideo is forced to commit seppuku (ritual suicide) by his feudal overlord for that crime, Duncan serves as his second. He vows to Hideo he will always protect the Koto family and is bequeathed the dragon head katana sword he uses to this day. Back in the present, Duncan discovers that Kent is an Immortal and he's still alive. In order not to further dishonor her family's name, Midori returns to Kent. Kent challenges Duncan, who fulfills his vow to the Koto family and frees Midori from her loveless marriage.
462"Line of Fire"Clay BorrisDavid TynanOctober 3, 1994 (1994-10-03)94302
Donna, a girl Richie dated briefly several years ago, returns with her 18-month-old son – who she claims is Richie's! While Duncan reminds him that it's impossible, as Immortals are unable to have children, Richie sees this as an opportunity to have the family he never had, and never will be able to again. When Kern, an evil Immortal, rides into town, Duncan is reminded of his own foster son, Kahani. Kahani and his Sioux Indian mother, Little Deer, were massacred over a hundred years ago by U.S. soldiers led by Kern, then a mercenary scout. Duncan is eager to even the score. When Donna finds Richie's rapier and demands to know what it's for, Richie is at a loss to tell her. Duncan advises Richie that it would be safer and kinder to Donna and the baby to leave them. When his new-found family is threatened by Kern, Richie realizes Duncan is right. While Duncan rids the world of the evil Kern, Richie lets go of the only family he'll ever have.
473"The Revolutionary"Dennis BerryPeter MohanOctober 10, 1994 (1994-10-10)94303
The people of a tiny Balkan nation are rising up in arms against an oppressive dictator. The freedom fighters are led by Paul Karros, a vibrant, charismatic leader. Karros is an Immortal who once served as a slave under Roman oppression and fought his way to freedom with Spartacus. Since that time, whenever the common people have been fighting against oppression, Karros has been at their side. Karros and his assistant, Mara, have come to the U.S. to drum up support for their cause. Duncan and Karros fought together in the Mexican Revolution and Karros tries to convince Duncan to fight with him in this just cause. Duncan turns him down, but Charlie is tempted both by the cause and by Mara. When Father Stefan, a local liaison, is critically wounded in an assassination attempt, Duncan realizes that Karros is determined to fight the war at any cost – even at the cost of sabotaging peace negotiations by killing those who trust him. When Mara discovers the truth, she threatens to expose him. Karros responds by attempting to kill her. Duncan is forced to challenge and behead his old comrade. When Mara returns home to the Balkans, Charlie goes with her to help the people rebuild.

Joe has a new girlfriend, art historian Lauren Gale, and a new attitude on life. Unfortunately, Joe arrives at Lauren's house one evening to witness her murder. We discover the murderer is Armand Thorne, benefactor of the Thorne Museum of Antiquities, who was being investigated by Lauren. Duncan finds an ancient gold cross on display in Thorne's museum, a cross that had been stolen out from under his protection nearly two hundred years before. Armand Thorne, Duncan discovers, is actually John Durgan, the Immortal trapper who murdered a frontier priest and stole the cross. Duncan persuades Amanda to come out of cat-burglar retirement and help him to steal the cross from the museum in order to lure Thorne out of his heavily protected fortress. Unfortunately, Durgan anticipates it and captures Joe, promising to release him in exchange for the cross. Using Amanda as a distraction for Durgan’s senses, Duncan tricks Durgan into leaving Holy Ground with the cross. Duncan fights Durgan, taking his head, and finally gets to fulfill his promise in returning the Cross of St. Antoine.
495"Rite of Passage"Mario AzzopardiKaren HarrisOctober 24, 1994 (1994-10-24)94305
Michelle Webster, the rebellious 18-year-old adoptive daughter of a friend of Duncan's, drives away from her parents' house in a rage and right over a cliff. Trauma surgeon Anne Lindsey tries her best to save Michelle, but it's too late. Duncan rushes to the hospital to comfort his grieving friends – and sneak their newly Immortal daughter out of the morgue. He tries to train her in the arts of Immortality, but Michelle just wants to have fun. She meets Immortal Axel Whittaker who promises her all the fun and adventure she could imagine if she stays with him. In flashback, we see that Whittaker uses beautiful new Immortal women as bait to trap other Immortals and take their heads – Duncan barely escaped with his in 1896 Boston. Whittaker uses Michelle to lure Duncan to his yacht, where they continue the battle they started a hundred years before. Duncan defeats Whittaker. Michelle, witnessing the fearsome power of the Quickening, agrees to be trained as an Immortal under the protection of Amanda.
506"Courage"Charles WilkinsonNancy HeikenOctober 31, 1994 (1994-10-31)94306
Brian Cullen, an old friend of Duncan's, is burnt out from centuries of playing The Game and has turned to drugs and alcohol to get the courage to keep on playing. Cullen had a run-in with Richie and now he's coming for Richie's head. While playing "chicken" with Richie on a mountain road, Cullen crashes head-on into a bus full of passengers, killing many. Duncan tries to convince Cullen, who he once knew as the greatest of the warriors, to stop using the drugs, but a paranoid Cullen believes Duncan is just trying to render him helpless. Finally, Duncan has no choice but to confront his former comrade and defeat him.
517"The Lamb"Dennis BerryJ. P. CoutureNovember 7, 1994 (1994-11-07)94307
What happens to a kid who hits Immortality before he hits puberty? Duncan and Richie take in 10-year-old Kenny, who asks for their protection after the fatherly Immortal who was protecting him is beheaded. Kenny, we discover, is not the sweet little lamb he appears to be. He has been Immortal for nearly 800 years, and has survived all that time by convincing other Immortals to take him in and protect him – and then taking their heads. One of them, Dallman Ross, is now after Kenny. Kenny tries to get Duncan, but he is continuously thwarted by the presence of Anne. Eventually, Duncan engages Ross and defeats him. Ross explains Kenny killed his mortal wife after they took him in. Duncan spares him, but Kenny finishes him off. Kenny attempts to get Anne out of his way, but Duncan, realizing the truth about Kenny, manages to rescue her. He goes after Kenny to stop him from killing again, but Kenny manages to escape by blending in with a group of innocent children.
528"Obsession"Charles WilkinsonLawrence ShoreNovember 14, 1994 (1994-11-14)94308
Immortal David Keogh, once an indentured servant, is a noted craftsman with his heart set on marrying his sweetheart, Jill. Unfortunately, Jill does not agree. Although she loved Keogh once, she was unable to handle it when he confided the secret of his Immortality. Now Keogh won't leave her alone and she's coming to Duncan, whom Keogh respects and might listen to, for help. But Keogh won't listen, convinced that Jill needs him as much as he needs her. In flashback, we see a time in Duncan's life when he, too, was obsessed with a woman he couldn't have. When Jill is killed in a tragic accident while trying to get way from Keogh, Keogh blames Duncan and gets him to fight. Duncan wins, but refrains from beheading him. Keogh swears vengeance, but Duncan calls his bluff and storms away, leaving him alive.
539"Shadows"Charles WilkinsonDavid TynanNovember 21, 1994 (1994-11-21)94309
Duncan is tormented by visions of his own death, beheaded by a mysterious dark-hooded figure. Anne tries to convince him to seek medical help, but instead he turns to his old friend, Immortal John Garrick, who has spent centuries studying the mind. Duncan saw Garrick in the 17th century, when Duncan barely escaped being burned as a witch. What Duncan didn't know was that Garrick was not able to escape as well. Garrick convinces Duncan that the dark-hooded figure is a racial memory that haunts all Immortals and that the way to defeat it is to not fight it, to accept it for what it is. When Duncan, haggard and exhausted, faces the specter for the last time, puts down his sword and refuses to fight it, the figure goes for Duncan's head – until at the last moment Duncan realizes the figure is Garrick, seeking his revenge after all these years. He breaks into Duncan's flat, forcing him to defend himself and behead him. In the Tag, Anne, frustrated that Duncan won't open up to her despite their intimate relationship, leaves him.

Lawyer Robert Waverly is leaving his mistress' apartment with his video camera when he sees Duncan locked in combat with an evil Immortal, Peter Matlin. Waverly gets it all on tape – the fight, the beheading, the Quickening. He later tries to cut a deal with Duncan: if Duncan kills Waverly's wife, then Duncan won't go to the police. When Immortal Lymon Kurlow, Matlin's partner, comes after Duncan, Waverly, unaware of what he's dealing with, proposes another deal. A la "Strangers on a Train," Waverly will kill Kurlow and Duncan will kill his wife, and no one will suspect a thing. Waverly challenges Kurlow, who kills Waverly easily and Duncan is left to save Waverly's wife and get rid of Kurlow.

Recent Immortal Michael Christian has been on an incredible string of luck, taking a number of heads from unarmed and vulnerable opponents, including May-Ling Shen, who taught Duncan the martial arts in 1780s Mongolia. Christian's Watcher, Rita Luce, has been doing more than just watching, supplying Christian with classified information on the other Immortals and their weaknesses. Duncan, unaware of Christian, goes on a vision quest to his cabin on Holy Ground – deliberately leaving his sword behind. Learning of this, Luce sends Christian after Duncan, but Joe also dispatches Richie. Christian attacks the unarmed Duncan but was outsmarted and beheaded. Luce leaves the Watchers.

Kirin swears that experience changed him forever, turning him from a man of war to a man of peace. When a tabloid reporter trying to get the goods on Kirin winds up dead in Duncan's dojo, Duncan is certain Kirin is responsible. Kirin protests his innocence and realizes the real killer is Matthew, one of his faithful disciples trying to protect him.

In the 17th century, Duncan sought refuge for a time in a monastery founded by Paul, another Immortal. There he encountered Antonio Neri, best known as Kalas, an Immortal monk with a heavenly singing voice. When Duncan discovered that Kalas was routinely taking the heads of Immortals as they left the sanctuary, Duncan and Paul expelled Kalas from the monastery, separating him from the music that was his life. Now in the present, Paul and his choir have been lured out of their monastery for a concert tour. When Paul disappears after a concert, Duncan discovers that Kalas is after his revenge. Meanwhile, two mysterious deaths at the hospital seem to be linked to negligence on Anne's part. Later, when drugs are found in Joe's bar, it becomes obvious that Kalas is trying to destroy Duncan's friends before coming for him. Duncan confronts Kalas and finds that Kalas is a strong and skillful fighter, better than Duncan has faced before, and is nearly the victor.

Flashbacks are to Paris in the 1920s, when Kalas, then known as Antonio Neri, was the toast of the opera world. When Kalas threatens a young girl in Duncan's protection, they fight. Kalas escapes, but not before Duncan inflicts a throat wound that destroys Kalas' vocal cords and the singing that has been his life since the Middle Ages.

Duncan, who has known Ceirdwyn/Flora MacDonald since before they helped smuggle Bonnie Prince Charlie out of Scotland in 1746, feels he must stop Ceirdwyn and make her see that revenge is not the answer – a lesson she helped Duncan learn in the bloody aftermath of Culloden. In return, Ceirdwyn helps Duncan see that, although loving a mortal can be dangerous for the mortal, it is the mortal who must choose whether to take the risk. Duncan calls Anne.

Meanwhile, Anne tells Duncan that she is pregnant – by an old friend she sought for comfort after Duncan's "death." Duncan tries to adjust to the concept of being a father.

Meanwhile, Maurice asks Duncan to talk to his troubled niece, Simone. Simone turns out to be more troubled than Maurice knows – she's a prostitute and Kagan's accomplice.
