MacGYVER'S WOMEN
Episode 6-08 [112]
12 November 1990
After Maria pressures MacGyver to make a commitment, he retreats into fantasy. He dreams he is back in Serenity, where Maria and Jenny arrive by train as mail-order brides chaperoned by Kate. Rather quickly they decide to leave town because the women want out of the marriage arrangement, and Kate is looking for a better future. MacGyver is headed to Last Chance Gulch for supplies and offers them a ride. They come across Dr. Destiny (Pete), who reads Maria's palm and says she has a dark secret in her past. On the trail they are ambushed by Kid Curry and his men. Kid figures he owns Kate and is furious that she dares to leave. MacGyver and the Bozer brothers, who "ordered" the brides, rescue all three women from the Hole in the Wall gang. MacGyver learns that Maria is wanted for murder back East, although she took the blame for her sister and is actually innocent. Once rescued the women proceed with their original plan to leave town. With a flourish of his cowboy hat MacGyver kisses Maria. And then he awakens...
MacGyver: Commitment. Maria, it's just not an easy thing for me to talk about.
Maria: Alright. Take me home then.
MacGyver: But... I will. I want to talk about it.
Maria: What frightens you, that you won't see other women?
MacGyver: Oh, I don't know. I don't think that's it...
