Highlander Season Four

Methuselah's Gift, Air Date: April 1996

When masked thugs try to take Amanda's head in her sleep and steal the crystal given to her long ago by Rebecca, Amanda and MacLeod investigate. They discover the crystal may be part of the Methuselah Stone, a mystic talisman said to impart eternal life and invulnerability to the wearer and that the person willing to kill Amanda to get it may be -- Methos?

The Watcher Info implies that Methos and Rebecca were lovers (and, therefore, he had met Amanda in the past). They ended up going with that as an underlying idea but we never got the flashback to prove it. I'd have loved to see them have a Methos and Rebecca episode (or an Amanda and Methos do a caper episode). What fun that would have been!

And yes, the moment in the park is the one I remember from this episode for exactly the reasons mentioned. So much is "said" without a word. It's one of the reasons I continue to enjoy HL episodes all these years later.
