Recap

MacGyver returns home from a mission to the Arctic Circle and discovers that Jack Dalton has turned his houseboat upside down while building an ultralight glider. A mailman, Gertie, arrives with mail for Jack. One envelope contains photographs of his father with his flight crew in front of a bomber and a note from "a friend," saying that Jack's father died in Korea. Jack explains that he never knew what his father looked like. Someone has been sending packages for the last four days containing Jack Sr.'s personal effects. Jack grew up with foster parents in high school and he never knew his real mother. She gave him up for adoption as a baby. MacGyver figures that the note is from his mother and she's trying to reach out. Jack doesn't believe it but his friend says he needs to give it a try...
