I can’t say that big plot holes take away from my overall enjoyment of any episode, and I thought this was a good one. But they do niggle at you. For example, where was Jesse while Ben was being raised? Burns has obviously been in the islands long enough to have a kid with Georgia, and Ben looks to be 2 or 3 years old? Where was Jesse all that time? At the “holding house”? That seems implausible, why wouldn’t he have been adopted out long before? Or is Ben just Georgia's, and not Burns' biological child? Not sure if that was made clear.

I’m surprised they let Selleck do the catching the football stunt. That’s definitely him and he really lays out for the ball.

The Episode Guide says “The King Kamehameha Club 'party room' set is used for only the second time, after "I Witness" (4.21), where it was used extensively.” I don’t think that’s correct, I don’t recall seeing the party room in this episode. I remember it being used in Kona Winds, but not in this episode. From Kona Winds:

I liked this episode better this last time viewing it. I kept thinking Lydia looked familiar...Revenge of the Nerds! I am suddenly hungry for pie for some reason. Stella Stevens is great too. I remember her from the Elvis movie Girls, Girls, Girls...also set in Hawaii and The original Nutty Professor with Jerry Lewis.

My first viewing of this episode today and I found it slightly underwhelming.

Highlights - Lydia, the pleasant beach “scenery”, Higgins getting splattered in the face with caviar and no Carol Baldwin.

Lowlights - the final scene where the lost child turns up was rather jarring and unlikely, a repetition of the “client lying to Magnum” trope.

I did giggle at the homage to “Chariots of fire” with the slow motion running and Vangelis type music score.

I just saw this episode for the first episode and agree with your lowlights and the homage to Chariots of Fire. I didn't find Higgins and the caviar very amusing (in fact, the entire camp sub-plot was a little silly) and I don't actually mind Carol. A decent, but not great, episode over all.
