Richie get caught up in danger when he's in his old neighborhood and tries to help an old friend, Nikki out. Nikki's boyfriend forces her to come along to a drug deal. He gets killed and she and Richie take off also grabbing Nikki's daughter, Melinda. Richie doesn't realize that Nikki has the drugs and the money, or that it initially it was a drug deal gone bad until later. Duncan is there to help and they end up back home. It turns out the top drug dealer boss is an immortal named Alexei. He wants his money. Good job by the actor that played Alexei. A bit cartoonish and slightly funny yet very vicious.
I have to say I didn't like that girl, Nikki. She had such an awful attitude towards Tessa. But I loved the way Tessa dealt with her. Tessa doesn't have a great physical strength. She's not a warrior. But she has great inner strength and is a class act. I also love seeing her maternal side with the little girl Melinda. Props to the actress for yet again showing her range as an actress.
Duncan knows the immortal, Alexei. He flashes back to to Russia. He's helping people flee Stalin's deadly authority. Alexei is suppose to be helping Duncan help the people but he betrays them and the people die. Duncan was going to take them away on Alexei's ship named the "Sea Witch."
Duncan goes to Alexei's modern day ship named the "Sea Witch II." They fight and Alexei is beheaded by the ship's propeller instead of being killed by Duncan, tho Duncan still receives the quickening. I think the writers did it this way to give a sense of karma, as tho the people that were killed all those years ago that were suppose to be taken to safety by the Sea Witch have somehow delivered divine justice against Alexei through the Sea Witch II. Poetic Justice. I love that this was how the writers chose to take Alexei out. I gave the episode a 7/10.
