Duncan runs into the boy Immortal Kenny again, on the run from Terence Kincaid, an Immortal that Duncan inevitably has history with. Things get more complicated when it turns out Kenny has a very different history with Amanda.
Given the inconclusive nature of The Lamb last season (which we get not one but two lengthy recaps of here), it was an episode ripe for a follow-up. Unfortunately, instead of writing one, they made this, which basically just repeats the older episode's story beat by story beat, complete with the same frustrating ending.
Absolutely nothing about Duncan's actions here ring true. It falters at the start when it turns out that, even though Anne knows about Immortals now, she hasn't realised Duncan's "cousin" was one and Duncan never told her Kenny tried to kill her (and never does). It might make sense that Duncan might want to get Kenny away from Anne and stop him causing havoc in a public place. But even if killing a weaker opponent doesn't fit his image, why would he protect him instead of turning him loose for Kincaid? Why would he, of all things, take him home with him again, when he knows Amanda's there but doesn't know Kenny's fondness of her, meaning he's placing her in danger? Duncan spends pretty much the entire episode treating Kenny like an annoying nuisance, rather than the psychotic killer he actually is.
And since she wasn't in the earlier episode, Amanda plays the Duncan and Richie role of being completely taken in by Kenny and not realising that, even though he was a boy when she knew him 800 years ago, he isn't one now.
Kincaid is playing second fiddle to Kenny and doesn't get much development, basically being there to provide the sword fights Kenny can't. The episode almost gets an extra point as, in another repeated plot beat, Kenny introduces Anne and Amanda to cause a rift with Duncan, and they surprisingly get on well.
Second and final appearance of Kenny. First appearance of the season for Anne, last seen in Season 3's Mortal Sins: She'll make one further appearance in The Blitz. Neither Joe nor Richie appears outside of stock footage; Joe's back next episode (along with Amanda) and Richie's back in Reluctant Heroes.
