So, Jennifer's a Scot, now? Sir Gavin McClish, the 293rd Chieftan of his clan, died while visiting LA in search of financial support for his clan castle. The bad guy thinks he's got Chieftanship in the bag, but it turns out that someone's on to his smarmy nature and goes in search of another viable candidate. Turns out Jennifer has Scots blood in her. This story really just serves as a prop for the Scotish Highland games happening in the LA area. It's all really contrived, but even so, all the Highland culture infused in this episode is really pretty impressive, especially the arena ceremonies and the Highland Dancing. RJ and Lionel in kilts are way worth the price of admission on this one. Even better is the hysterical conversation J&J have about what's under Jonathan's kilt.

Jennifer: How do you feel? Jonathan: I feel fine. Jennifer: No chill, no cold? Jonathan: No. No wind. Jennifer: Then it's true what they say about the Scots. Jonathan: What do they say about the Scots? Jennifer: Oh, you know what they say. Jonathan: No. Jennifer: Oh, come on, you can tell me, I need to know for my article; research. Is it true, let me have a look (she lifts his kilt) Jonathan: (Grabs kilt back) Will you cut that out! Not here, I'll give you the bare facts later. Full exposure. Jennifer: Promise?

Adorable.

The climactic scenes at the end with for the California Scotish Society, naturally held at the Hart's house, are filled with much Scotish dancing, which RJ and Stefanie and all the actors, I'd think, had to work very hard at learning. I was just left with one question at the end that made me say, 'what?' Why on earth to the bad guys always end up trying to off the Harts in front of a crowd? Like they're going to get away with it? Lazy writing. Enjoyable, nonetheless.

Jonathan and Jennifer's delightful excursion to the Scottish Highland games is laced with danger. Jennifer is going to write an article on the Scottish clans and speaks to a Scottish chieftain. When he finds an old parchment that shows where a valuable claymore worth millions of dollars is buried he is killed by a rival. When some research seems to show that Jennifer is eligible to be the chieftain through her great aunt she decides to run for the position. However, her rival is determined to win and is quite willing to commit more murders to do so.

Jennifer learns that she eligible for chieftain though she's more keen to learn what Jonathan have under his kilt. Besides of such risqué and humorous interaction, you have that usual standard plot going on, but it's quite fun with haggis, bagpipes and murder.

I've never really had any interest in Hart to Hart but it was playing on my TV as I was flicking through channels. OH MY GOD, as a Scotsman what can I say about Bill Erwin's 'Scottish' accent. It was so awful it made me cringe and was actually an insult to my ears. Also, there is no such surname in Scotland as 'MacLaish'. At least if they wanted a modicum of authenticity the nearest correction to that name would be 'McLeish'. PS, if the reviewer HilaryElizabeth9 ever gets the chance to re-read her review we are 'Scottish', not 'Scotish'. At least the bagpiping was OK.
