Mac puts up Penny Parker for a few days while she's looking for a job as a singing telegram. But on her first day, she happens to witness two thugs torturing a man. Unfortunately, she can't find her way back, and when she does, Mac thinks this may be the start of something bigger as the victim is a Federal agent.

MacGyverisms

1. Wheelchair magnesium, rags, pipe heated freezer door lock
2. Microphone became bolo/tripwire
3. MacGyver uses a road flare to follow a van without being spotted. As the van gets moving, MacGyver pulls a road flare out of the back of his jeep and throws it onto the roof of the van, into an equipment rack. The smoke trail from the flare is enough to allow MacGyver to follow it without needing to maintain line of sight.
