Magnum PI season 4 episode 5: Did Higgins and Ethan break up?
The first bit of evidence we have is courtesy of the opening minutes, where Juliet opted to channel her frustrations by using a leaf-blower to clean up the property. She acted like she didn’t even notice Thomas lying in the hammock, a sign that she was angry at the world.
Then, we got to the case involving Aiden and his bride-to-be. While Higgins and Magnum were out on the stakeout, she made a quick assumption that the two wouldn’t work out while offering a pretty pessimistic view on love in general. It sounded a lot like the words of someone who was recently heartbroken. Her therapist had just told her recently that she may not be in love with Ethan, even if she tried to convince herself that she was. All of this put her, most likely, in a frustrating headspace.
The next big of evidence came after an epic chase scene featuring Aiden’s “bride,” who turned out to be a killer who was out to do more terrible stuff. That’s when we learned that Higgins hadn’t broken up with Ethan … or at least not yet. Her therapist’s words were still on her mind.
At the end of the episode…
Higgins did call up Ethan to talk, and most likely tell him that the relationship was over. It took another heart-ot-heart from Magnum about love to get her to this place — it was either there or it wasn’t and in this case, it really wasn’t.
In general, love was the central theme throughout tonight’s “‘Til Death,” as we saw Aiden eventually drop everything to be with Serena, regardless of the fact that she was a dangerous killer on the run. He couldn’t help it: She was who he loved and that was that.
