Tessa's friend is attacked by serial killer who has been dubbed "the Scalper" (Dee McCafferty). MacLeod realizes the Scalper is imitating the string of murders committed by Immortal, Marcus Korolus, in 1925. Those only ended when MacLeod beheaded the killer.
MacLeod is the only one apart of the Scalper to know that Korolus used the Orpheum Theater as a base. MacLeod sets up a trap, in which Tessa acts as a bait, but the Scalper foils their plan by attacking another woman. When the Scalper attacks Richie, Tessa hits him with the Thunderbird to stop him.
