Ahhhhhh, did he or didn't he? There is only one correct answer, and a wrong answer will get you flunked faster than anything else here at Highlander U.
We meet Alfred Cahill, a nutcase pre-Immortal with a taste for prostitutes, and a drive to punish them all. Taking insult from the bored responses given to him by a bored prostitute, he goes on a rampage and she stabs him. He staggers out and dies; revives as Duncan is going through his wallet; and thinks he's been born again to punish prostitutes and pimps and their clientele by killing them.
Just so happens that Tessa's old friend Elaine is now a prostitute, though she tries to pretend she's a decorator. Tessa really takes offense that Elaine didn't find a rich Immortal Scotsman to live with, and throws a tantrum over her friend's prostituting herself. Right over the top. This is probably the ugliest we will ever see Tessa, petty and unforgiving and judgmental. At least until Duncan explains the error of her ways.
Duncan manages to break through all sorts of military-type security with his little laptop computer and figure out that Cahill was released from the service on some sort of mental disability, which should surprise no one since he's obviously a shrimp, 2 mussels and a squid short of a fruits de mer platter.
So Duncan takes Elaine under his protection, and Cahill decides that Tessa requires redemption. It's all a merry mix-up, ending in a battle in a Knights Templar museum between Duncan and Cahill. Cahill loses. Duncan takes the Quickening ... which might well be a foreshadowing of any squirreliness in Duncan's personality henceforth.
Questions:
1. Did Duncan kill Cahill on Holy Ground? (hint: answering NO will get you at least a passing grade on this quiz. answering YES will get you an automatic F and a ticket to see the counselor)>
2. Didn't Duncan look totally awesome lying on the sofa, workin' that little laptop computer for all it was worth? Was the laptop hooked into a phone line or was it a satellite hookup?
3. Did Cahill have any redeeming qualities at all or was he just Better Dead?
4. In 5 words or fewer, give a thematic exposition of this episode.
5. Does it strike you as coincidental that Cahill saw Duncan's pants and immediately proclaimed Duncan to be the Archangel Gabriel? Is the Archangel Gabriel noted in any other literature as "a guy who goes through your wallet while you're dead and doesn't seem surprised or embarrassed when you wake up and catch him going through your wallet"?
