Summary

Richie becomes romantically involved with one of MacLeod's old flames, Kristin. After Methos reminds MacLeod of his student's danger, MacLeod tries to convince Richie that Kristin will only attempt to kill him. Richie refuses to listen. Duplicating MacLeod's affair with Kristin almost exactly, Kristin attacks Richie after he dumps her and then goes after his friend, Maria, out of jealousy. MacLeod and Methos arrive at Kristin's house in time to save Maria and MacLeod fights Kristin, but he can't bring himself to kill her. Identifying himself as someone born "long before the age of chivalry," Methos fights Kristin and takes her head.
