She reminds Duncan of a vow of protection his 'ancestor' (actually Duncan himself) made to her family over 200 years before. Flashbacks tell the story of Duncan coming to the aid of the samurai Hideo Koto after Duncan is shipwrecked in Japan(1778). Hideo befriends Duncan -- even though the penalty for helping a 'gaijin' (foreigner) in isolationist Japan is death. When Hideo is forced to commit 'seppuku' (ritual suicide) by his feudal overlord for that crime, Duncan serves as his second. He vows to Hideo he will always protect the Koto family and was bequeathed the dragon-head katana sword he uses to this day. Back in the present, Duncan discovers that Kent is an Immortal and he's still alive. Over Duncan's protests, in order not to further dishonor her family's name, Midori returns to Kent. When Duncan interfers, Kent challenges him, whereupon Duncan fulfills his vow to the Koto family and frees Midori from her loveless marriage.

While Duncan reminds him that it's impossible, that Immortals are unable to have children, Richie sees this as an opportunity to have the family he never had and never will be able to again. When Kern, an evil Immortal, rides into town, Duncan is reminded of his own foster son, Kahani. Kahani and his Sioux Indian mother, Little Deer, were massacred over a hundred years ago by US soldiers led by Kern, then a mercenary scout. Duncan is eager to even the score. When Donna finds Richie's sword and demands to know what it's for, Richie is at a loss to tell her. Duncan advises Richie that it would be safer and kinder to Donna and the baby to leave them. When his new-found family is threatened by Kern, Richie realizes Duncan is right. While Duncan rids the world of the evil Kern, Richie lets go of the only family he'll ever have.

Karros and his assistant, Mara, have come to the US to drum up support for their cause. Duncan and Karros fought together in the Mexican Revolution and Karros tries to convince Duncan to fight with him in this just cause. Duncan turns him down, but Charlie is tempted both by the cause and by Mara. When Father Stefan, a local liaison, is critially wounded in an assissination attempt, Duncan realizes that Karros is determined to fight the war at any cost -- even at the cost of sabotaging peace negotiations by killing those who trust him.

When Mara returns home to the Balkans, Charlie goes with her to help the people.

Unfortunately, after the successful opening night of his blues club, he, Duncan, and Amanda arrive at Lauren's house to find she's been murdered. We discover the murderer is Armand Thorne, benefactor of the Thorne Museum of Antiquities, who was being investigated by Lauren. Duncan finds an ancient gold cross on display in Thorne's museum, a cross that had been stolen out from under his protection nearly two hundred years before. Armand Thorne, Duncan discovers, is actually John Durgan, the Immortal trapper who murdered a frontier priest and stole the cross. Duncan persuades Amanda to come out of cat-burglar retirement and help him to steal the cross from the museum in order to lure Thorne out of his heavily protected fortress. Duncan confronts Thorne, taking his head, and finally gets to return the Cross of St. Antoine to the Church, its rightful owner.

He tries to train her in the arts of Immortality, but Michelle just wants to have fun. She meets Immortal Axel Whittaker who promises her all the fun and adventure she could imagine if she stays with him. In flashback, we see that Axel uses beautiful new Immortal women as bait to trap other Immortals and take their heads -- Duncan barely escaped with his in 1894 Boston. Axel uses Michelle to lure Duncan to his yacht, where they continue the battle they started a hundred years before. Duncan defeats Axel. Michelle, witnessing the fearsome power of the Quickening, agrees to be trained as an Immortal under the protection of Amanda.

After having a catastrophic run-in with Richie, Cullen 'awakens' to find himself in a hospital emergency room. And he still is determined to have Richie's head. Duncan (who was at the hospital visiting his favorite doctor) tries to convince Cullen to stop using the drugs, which reminds Duncan how he once tried to help Cullen overcome his opium addiction a hundred years ago in San Francisco. Deluded by his progressive loss of confidence and his drug habit, Cullen believes Duncan is just trying to render him helpless. Finally, Duncan has no choice but to confront his former comrade.

Duncan last saw Garrick in the 17th Century, when Duncan barely escaped being burned as a witch. What Duncan didn't know was that Garrick was not able to escape as well. Garrick convinces Duncan that the dark-hooded figure haunts all Immortals and that the way to defeat it is to not fight it, to accept it for what it is.
