The third episode of season 5 to make allusions to the supernatural. This time MacGyver even uses his skill set to engineer himself out of a supernatural metaphor.
Reference is made to Egyptian mythology, specifically mentioning Osiris and Anubis. MacGyver says he's not very up on his Egyptian mythology. Richard Dean Anderson's would later go on to play Colonel Jack O'Neill in Stargate SG-1, a show deeply rooted in Egyptian mythology, where both Osiris and Anubis feature as characters.
