Ep 7. Unusual Suspects

In Highlander season 6 episode 7, titled "Unusual Suspects," immortal Duncan MacLeod finds himself embroiled in a murder investigation when his old friend Charlie DeSalvo is framed for a crime he didn't commit. Charlie is a former detective who has since fallen on hard times and become a bit of a drunken ne'er-do-well, so the police don't exactly leap to his defense when the body of a young woman is found in his apartment. But Charlie is innocent, and MacLeod knows it.

MacLeod begins investigating the murder himself, teaming up with Joe Dawson and another old friend, Amy Thomas, who is a crime scene investigator. Together, they begin piecing together the evidence and trying to track down the real killer. But they quickly realize that this is no ordinary murder case. The victim was a member of a secret society known as the Watchers, who keep tabs on immortals like MacLeod and his friends. The Watchers are notoriously secretive and suspicious of outsiders, so MacLeod and his team have to tread carefully if they want to get anywhere.

As they delve deeper into the case, MacLeod, Joe, and Amy start to uncover some shocking truths about the Watchers and their inner workings. They discover that the victim was not just any Watcher, but a high-ranking member of the organization who was involved in some shady dealings. They also begin to suspect that the killer might be another immortal, someone who had a grudge against the victim or a vendetta against the Watchers as a whole.

To complicate matters further, MacLeod's investigation puts him in the crosshairs of the Watchers themselves. They don't take kindly to outsiders poking their noses into their affairs, and they make it clear that MacLeod's meddling will not be tolerated. But MacLeod is not one to be intimidated, and he refuses to back down until he uncovers the truth.

"Unusual Suspects" is a thrilling episode that combines elements of crime drama and supernatural fantasy. The mystery of the murder keeps viewers guessing until the very end, and the twists and turns of the plot will leave them on the edge of their seats. But beyond the suspenseful storyline, the episode also delves into the complex mythology of Highlander and adds depth to the world of the immortal game. Overall, it's a standout episode that fans of the series won't want to miss.
