A few months ago I saw the double episode
where TM goes to LA on a mission for Higgins.
He meets Dana Delaney (don't remember her
character name). They plan to leave for Hawaii
together and get married, but she backs out
at the last minute. I noticed in the episode
list she comes back on another episode as
his supposed fiancée. Whatever happened?
They obviously didn't get married. Don't ask
me why this has been keeping me awake
nights but I must know!
Thank you for your patience & understanding.

Later in the seventh season she did go to Hawaii. It's in the
episode titled "Out of Sync" because they weren't able to get in
any kind of sync the whole time she was there. Magnum was pre-
occupied with a silly investigation that, in the end, turned out to
not even be a case. And Cynthia ended up spending most of her time
either alone or being "entertained" by T. C. and Rick. Their
relationship didn't go anywhere. I personally thought it was too bad.
I liked Delany's character and thought she and Selleck had good
chemistry. She would've been a much better choice for the "love interest
out of the past" which they wrote into the series finale. Instead they
brought back Linda Lee Ellison from the seventh season episode "Forty,"
someone with whom Thomas Magnum had made much less of a connection and
whom the audience had seen far less. I like to think that they thought
of this but maybe weren't able to get Dana Delany back again or something.

Best,

Delany was available, but Selleck wanted to work with Patrice Martinez
again, and that's why the character was the impetus for Magnum coming
home, though it made little sense. Ah, the perks of being a star!
