Overview

A mortal named Pallin Wolf is a Hunter, one of the renegade Watchers who believe the Immortals must be eliminated. He uses mortals as bait to kill Immortals. He lures the Immortal James Vincent to his house using James' girlfriend and kills him, getting the advantage by tricking him into a sealed room that is completely dark, then stalking him with night vision goggles. Meanwhile, Greta, a Gypsy fortuneteller whom Duncan and Tessa meet in a restaurant, warns Tessa to leave the city because she is in danger. When Wolf kidnaps Tessa, MacLeod returns to Greta, asking for her help. But she's mostly a hustler and not accustomed to getting actual visions, so the clues she can provide are meager. Finally, Mac finds Wolf's house, where Wolf is waiting for him. He meets Wolf in the dark room, and all seems hopeless until he remembers a matchbook Greta gave him with her phone number in it. Lighting the matches, he regains the advantage and kills Wolf. MacLeod frees Tessa with Richie and tells them to leave while he searches Wolf's house. However, as Tessa and Richie head for the car, a young junkie accosts them for money and shoots them both, in an act of senseless violence.
