Recap

At the Jerico Games, an international hockey exhibit sponsored by the Phoenix Foundation and Jerico Broadcasting, MacGyver stops by to see Coach Sergei Litminov. Sergei introduces him to Nikolai Rostov, a top player who is being sought out by scouts. Nikolai comes over and mentions that he's now MacGyver's roommate. Sergei shows him the list that has MacGyver on the name of as a volunteer and MacGyver gives in. As MacGyver waits for Nikolai to change, he goes to see who put his name on the list. He comes face-to-face with Ellen Stewart, an old girlfriend from high school. She explains that she's there helping out and they go for a walk. He realizes that Ellen signed him up to host Nikolai and she admits she did it so he'd come to see her. She explains that she's been with Jerico Broadcasting for the last few years and is currently in PR. Ellen mentions their breakup but says that she's had 20 years to get over him. Still, she says that he's one of her favorite memories. As she takes his hand, a private detective takes pictures of them together...

Episode Quotes
Ellen Stewart Jerico: What? Look at your face. Have I changed that much?
MacGyver: Well, just for the better.
Ellen Stewart Jerico: Good answer.

Nikolai Rostov: What they told us about American before glasnost, about how all of you are selfish monsters, is totally bogus.
MacGyver: Well, I guess dudes are dudes all over the world.

Ellen Stewart Jerico: So tell me what you do at the Phoenix Foundation.
MacGyver: Oh, I'm kind of a troubleshooter, I guess. They ask me to go somewhere, I do what I can to help.
Ellen Stewart Jerico: MacGyver, I have never know anyone who could make such a mystery of everything.
MacGyver: No, no, I'm not trying to be mysterious about it, it's just that what I do is tough to explain.

MacGyver: Nikolai, do you have any idea what's in those?
Nikolai: (eating a hot dog) No.
MacGyver: Neither does anyone else.

MacGyver: Are you okay?
Nikolai Rostov: Is that American sense of humor? Sure, I'm not bad, for a guy who's going to be toast.
