Answer: Velma

Velma was in love with Higgins during the war, but she married William Troubshaw who was a nemesis of Higgins. After Troubshaw was electrocuted during a fencing match with Higgins, Magnum had to prove Higgins innocence.

2. In "Birdman of Budapest", Robin Masters's former teacher shared a name with what famous poet?

Answer: Elizabeth Barrett

Robin called upon his former teacher Elizabeth Barrett to come to Robin's Nest to edit his newest book. What neither Higgins nor Robin knew was that Elizabeth Barrett was a KGB agent sent to kill a man named Tessa. Using Magnum as a dupe, Elizabeth found Tessa and tried to kill him.

In the second storyline of the episode, Magnum used T.C. and Rick to help him get money from an employee that didn't pay him for a job he performed. Tom Selleck's former wife played Ms. Roebuck, the woman that Magnum and his friends dealt with when they tried to get the money from her employer.
3. Patrick McGuiness, an Irish priest, was also Higgins's half-brother in "Faith and Begorrah".

Answer: True

"Faith and Begorrah" was the last episode of season three. The episode starred another of Higgins' half-siblings, Irish Catholic priest Patrick McGuiness, who came to town to find an artifact stolen from his church in Ireland.

"Magnum, P.I." creator Donald Bellisario had a short role as the motel clerk where Patrick McGuiness stayed while in Hawaii.

This episode ended with the wife of Magnum's client killed and Rick witnessing the murder through binoculars. When the series returned for the fourth season, the murder was never discussed.
4. Who was Mac with when he was killed in "Did You See The Sunrise?"?

Answer: Magnum

Mac went with Magnum and his date to a restaurant. When they left the restaurant, Mac got to Magnum's Ferrari first intent on driving all of them to see the sunrise. When Mac started the Ferrari it blew up. The bomb was meant for Magnum placed by Colonel Ivan, a Russian agent intent on killing Magnum and his friends. In the end, Magnum kills Ivan in cold blood.

"Did You See The Sunrise?" was Jean Bruce Scott's first guest appearance as Lt. Maggie Poole. She would continue playing in eleven episodes of "Magnum, P.I." until the series ended. Jean Bruce Scott would later go onto play in "Airwolf".

Answer: Theresa Henderson

Theresa Catherine Henderson's biological father was a famous basketball player. Theresa lived with foster parents who used her to steal things. Magnum caught on to fact that her foster parents were thieves and had everything replaced in Robin's Nest with fakes.

6. Annie Potts played a police detective on "Legacy From a Friend".

Answer: False

Annie Potts played meter maid Tracy Spencer who used the death of Magnum's friend as a way to become a police detective. Tracy came close to getting herself killed when she tried to solve the death of Magnum's friend on her own.
7. Ernest Borgnine played a wrestler with what color nickname, "Mr. _____ Death"?

Answer: White

Earl Gianelli, aka: White Death, was a wrestler running away from the mob and looking for his son in the process. Rick, T.C., and Magnum met Earl during one of his matches and Magnum took the case of finding his missing son. Magnum found Earl's son Phil, but Phil denied knowing Earl. Magnum did some investigating and found out that the son knew Earl was running from the mob and didn't want to be used as a mob weapon against his father.

Ernest Borgnine later went on to play in "Airwolf", a production of Donald Bellisario.
8. "To the late great Thomas Sullivan Magnum. May he rest in peace". In which episode did Rick say this line?

Answer: I do?

Rick was at Magnum's wedding reception when he raised his plastic champagne glass and made this toast. Magnum married Marsha Mackenzie in a fake ceremony so he could investigate theft inside a family business. The fake marriage was not a fake marriage made in heaven. Magnum and Marsha fought constantly, but in the end decided that they could be friends.
9. Did Magnum realize where he met the pilot, Sam Hunter, in "Two Birds of a Feather"?

Answer: Yes

Magnum was on the beach when he rescued a pilot whose plane went down in the tidal pool. Magnum recognized the pilot's voice, but couldn't place it. In the end while listening to one of Higgins's stories, Magnum realized he'd heard the story once before in Vietnam when a US pilot told him the story over a radio. During the story, Magnum realized that Sam Hunter was the pilot that saved him and his crew from being killed by the Viet Cong.

Donald Bellisario took this episode as a pilot episode for a new series starring actor William Lucking. The pilot was not picked up and Donald Bellisario later turned the series into a hit show called "Airwolf".
10. On Magnum's day of favors in "The Eighth Part of the Village", what favor did he promise to perform for Rick?

Answer: Bookkeeping

When Magnum came close to getting killed while working a case, he decided one day to help the guys in any way they needed help. For Rick, he said he would handle the bookkeeping for the club. Magnum was going to chauffeur T.C. around, and pick up a crate of books for Higgins.

Unfortunately, Magnum didn't get any of the things done he promised to do because he got involved in a case while picking up Higgins's crate of books.
