Warning: Spoilers
Duncan helps Michelle, a newly "born" immortal. She is the adopted daughter of friends. She's 18 years old and has anger issues with her parents. She ends up driving her car off a cliff. Duncan tries to help her but an old immortal enemy, Axel, shows up. Axel has a history of using young female immortals, never training them to fight, and using them to lure other immortals to their deaths. When he no longer finds them useful, he kills them.

Well, Michelle was an annoying character wasn't she? Hoo boy, could not stand her.

Duncan is the wrong teacher for Michelle. "There's so much for you to do, for you to see. You can go to school. You can go to Tibet." I chuckled when Duncan said this. He is so outta touch with young people. This is not exactly enticement for someone like Michelle, or most teenagers for that matter.

But is Amanda a good teacher choice? I'm not so sure about that. Amanda can be fickle, enjoys stealing, gets in trouble when she's bored. After this episode, we never hear of Michelle again. Maybe Amanda couldn't stand her either and killed her. Just joking although I wouldn't blame her.

Duncan taking Axel's head was pretty cool. They both fell into the water. Duncan emerged first. Then Axel emerged which was the perfect striking moment for Duncan.

I gave the episode a 7/10.
