When MAGNUM P.I. star Zachary Knighton made his directorial debut with the Wednesday, December 6 episode of the NBC series, he pointed to the scene when Higgins (Perdita Weeks) saves Jin (Bobby Lee) via a helicopter as his favorite to helm.

“That, to me, is the best sequence,” he told Give Me My Remote at the time. ”We storyboarded that, we worked really hard. I wanted to make sure obviously it went well. Everyone was safe. You’re ultimately the responsible one for everybody’s safety. So I was hyper-concerned about that sequence. But we have the best pilots on the island, and probably some of the best pilots in the world, over here at Magnum [Helicopters] choppers. They did an incredible job. But I would say that’s the sequence I’m most proud of. And Perdy kicked ass in that sequence.”
