Recap

MacGyver goes to a funeral home to pay his respects for... Jack Dalton. MacGyver looks down at his friend's body and remembers how he would get into trouble. He regrets not having a chance to thank Jack for saving his life. However, MacGyver notices that Jack's left eye is twitching and quickly slams the lid down. He asks the few mourners to leave. Once everyone is out, MacGyver opens the lid and Jack opens his eyes. He warns that if he gets out of the coffin, he may end up dead for real. Jack tells MacGyver to leave. Outside, two men in suits get out of a car and enter the funeral home...

Episode Quotes
MacGyver: Jack Dalton never believed that anyone or anything could put him him away. There wasn't a situation he couldn't cheat his way out of. He always had a plan. Until now.

MacGyver: All right, Jack, let's have it! Who have you cheated, swindled, or robbed this time?

Jack Dalton: That's the guy who tried to kill us.
MacGyver: Jack, everybody's trying to kill us.

MacGyver: I think it's working.
Shadow: What if it doesn't hold?
MacGyver: Then we go to Plan B.
Jack Dalton: What's Plan B?
MacGyver: Let's see how Plan A goes first.

Jack Dalton: You know, being dead made me realize something.
MacGyver: Jack, you were only in the coffin for half an hour.
