The gang goes to see Mac's old immortal friend, Gregor, who is having an exhibit of his work along with other photographers. Gregor, as it turns is in a dark place in his life, is extremely depressed, and is obsessed with death as his photos attest to.

At the exhibit, Mac meets an old lover, Linda Plager, a photographer Mac knew in the 1920's or 1930's. She recognizes Mac. She's old now and later believes she was foolish for thinking he was the same person. Mac learns that she is dying.

You think the main story is about Gregor, who gets a lot of screen-time, but the real story is about Linda Plager and Duncan. Less screen-time but more impact.

I thought Gregor was kind of a jerk. I know he's mentally ill with depression and acting out violently and obsessed with death, but he didn't do anything for me. I didn't feel sorry for him. I just didn't like him. Tessa didn't like him either after he made a comment about how she was gonna keep getting older and die and Duncan would fall for somebody else. Yeah, jerk! All the stuff with poor Richie being picked on by this guy, ugh, go away.

Linda Plager is in the hospital dying. Duncan decides to tell her it's really him. I love that Tessa encouraged him to tell her. Linda always wanted him to be proud of her, and he tells her he is. Their scenes are sad and touching, you might actually get a bit teary-eyed. The flashbacks about them and their current-day scenes are what made this episode special. Great job by Adrian Paul and Sheila Moore, both delivering all the right emotions. I gave it an 8/10.

An "old friend", Greg, over the 100yr friendship, who sent tickets for a art show (photos) he is "in it", and sees pics that are familiar to him, sees the one pic and knows why, and old love, this one mortal, took them. She sees him and just knows its him, even though he looks the same, all but those who know think she has "lost it". Tess's face when she hears and sees, feels something, my guess, didn't think (2nd time happen though with Amanda was diff) she would see how Mac reacts with a former love who is mortal, yet he never told Linda about himself, leaving Tess to wonder why. She also tells him to tell her, as she tells Mac Linda "feels" it really is him but "cant be".

Greg is really lost, almost dead inside, and the way he treats others, then destroys all those pics and Richie...well "fights Mac" "looses" but Mac sees there is hope, spares him as knows he has reached the human part of Greg and time will heal.

At the hospital, waits for Linda to wake and she feels like "an old photo faded round the edges", and tells him she is foolish but he hands her a present and she is shocked and tells him to look away as she "tears into them in excitement", his "I remember" has her looking at him but he says don't try to understand it and goes on to tell her he is so proud of her, always has been, she is so relieved as she never married, her work was her life, and also that she should not have left him...

Here you see, Mac would stay with Tess, had she not been murdered, and guessing would have stayed with Linda till her natural death, so seeing him talk an tell her proud of and so forth, great acting on APs part here, as he makes it seem possible that he would have stayed in love with her till the end and still has a love for her just diff, as she left and hasn't been a part of his life or he hers. So glad he listened to Tess, told him go see her tell her so she knows she not crazy.
