EVERY TIME SHE SMILES
Episode 1-16 [016]
19 February 1986
MacGyver is on assignment in Bulgaria obtaining microfilm that contains financial information on corrupt government officials. At the airport he is arrested, and his luggage is confiscated after Penny Parker, an American dancer and would-be actress, drops jewels into his pocket. Penny had kept the jewelry, which she received as a gift, after breaking up with Stephan Frolov, her jealous Bulgarian boyfriend. MacGyver breaks Penny and himself out of the airport room where they were being held. Stephan, a major with the Bulgarian secret police, is informed by his uncle, General Petrovich, that the jewelry is actually part of the stolen crown jewels of Hanover. Penny and MacGyver recover the microfilm from Frolov's apartment and hide in the general's villa. They are caught, but Frolov changes sides when he sees that his uncle plans on killing Penny. They break free, and all three escape together from Bulgaria.
MacGyver: I was about six or seven years old when I first rode a merry-go-round. I'd never seen anything like it. It was kind of... magic. You can go to a merry-go-round anywhere in the world and see the same look in the children's eyes. It's magic. It's a shame we have to grow up and lose it.
