Recap

MacGyver is conducting survival training for Phoenix Foundation agents. MacGyver is less than thrilled at the duty, being put in the position of judging his peers. Pete arrives at the Foundation's training outpost and MacGyver admits he doesn't like having to flunk one of his students, who broke his leg. It turns out that Pete has one more student for MacGyver: himself. He's been dodging it as long as possible but insists that he has to go through the same test as everyone else. MacGyver figures that he's worried and Pete has to agree. ..

Episode Quotes
Pete: You've got one more party of one, and then you get your rotation off the assignment.
MacGyver: One. Must be someone pretty important.
Pete: Yeah, it is.
MacGyver: Yeah, who?
Pete: Me.

Pete: You want some stew? Made it myself. Well, out of a can.

MacGyver: You're not worried about this, are you?
Pete: Worried? Listen, what's to worry. I've just got to face it. Either I make it or I don't.
MacGyver: You're worried.
Pete: Yeah.

MacGyver: Pete, you okay?
Pete: Yeah.
MacGyver: Kind of a tough land.
Pete: Oh. Lucky I've got the padding for that, eh? So, what's next on the list of tortures?
MacGyver: Well, I call it an obstacle course. Some of the others call it MacGyver-land.
Pete: MacGyver-land?

Pete: Has it really come to this? Middle age, fallen arches, blisters, and now acute humiliation.

MacGyver: I say we check out their camp. We can be there in a quick two-hour hike.
Pete: You know, I would think out of respect for an older man, and your superior, you would have the common decency to be a little bit winded!

Pete: Well, the brain is the last thing to go.
MacGyver: Yeah, what's the first?
Pete: Uh, can't remember.

Pete: Hey, you know, I lost six pounds out there? I may start dating again.

MacGyverisms:
* Battery acid, potassium bromide and bicarb from a first aid kit, ammonia capsules, and orange juice, to develop camera film
* Cocaine from a bag thrown into an opponent's eyes
* A climbing hammer with rope attached to it for a grappling hook
* Pete's coat, stuffed with twigs, to make it appear from a distance that Pete is with MacGyver as Macgyver carries the dummy
