Ep 18. Archangel

In Highlander: The Series season 5 episode 18, titled "Archangel," Duncan MacLeod embarks on a mission to rescue an old friend from an unknown location.

The episode begins with MacLeod meeting with an old acquaintance, an angel named Raphael who is seeking his help. Raphael reveals that one of their mutual friends, a fellow immortal named Kenny, has been captured and he needs MacLeod's help to rescue him. MacLeod agrees to help and sets off with Raphael to find Kenny's location.

As they travel to their destination, Raphael explains that they are not alone on this mission. A group of rogue angels, known as the "Fallen Ones," are also searching for Kenny. The Fallen Ones have been kicked out of Heaven and now seek to gain power by capturing other immortals and taking their quickening. MacLeod realizes that he has a bigger problem on his hands than just rescuing his friend.

When they arrive at the location where Kenny is being held, MacLeod and Raphael face off against the Fallen Ones in a battle for Kenny's life. As the fight intensifies, MacLeod discovers that he has some unexpected allies in this fight. The Archangel Michael appears, having been sent by the Higher Powers to aid MacLeod in his quest. Together, they fight off the Fallen Ones and rescue Kenny.

But the battle is not over yet. The leader of the Fallen Ones, a formidable enemy named Irena, has yet to be defeated. MacLeod and the group must now face their toughest challenge yet as they fight to defeat Irena and put an end to the Fallen Ones' reign of terror.

As the episode concludes, MacLeod reflects on the concept of good versus evil and the importance of having friends and allies to help in the fight. The unresolved issues between MacLeod and Kenny also come to light, adding a layer of complexity to their friendship.
