Buying a hot dog on the street, he watched a young man walk by, "Leader Of The Pack". It took a moment for him to remember the face of the punk who killed Tessa. He chased Roscza, who ran to the police. Roscza denied shooting Tessa, but Richie brought back the memory to the reformed junkie, but left him alive with the knowledge that he was a murderer.
Ignoring warnings from both Duncan and Methos that Kristen was bad news, Richie fell in love, only for the insanely jealous Kristen to try to kill him and Maria. As both Duncan and Richie harboured feelings to her, both couldn't gather enough courage to kill her, although she wasn't a capable swordswoman, relying mostly on seduction. At the end it was Methos, who appeared without compunctions and beheaded her, though Richie still found it hard to accept that Methos took her head to stop her doing it again.
As Methos by this time acted as one of the Watchers, by the alias - Adam Pierson - the Watchers think that it was Richie who beheaded her. Later, when MacLeod received the quickening himself and with graceful arrogance fought the youngling, this time only the quick intervention of Joe Dawson stopped MacLeod from his killing his own protege.
Richie fled, with all his faith broken, after his own teacher and best friend tried to kill him. From there, Richie decided that it's all about the Game, that MacLeod did it, so he started to train frantically and devoted himself to headhunting. He travelled across the country on his motorbike, and as he was an experienced rider, he was able to feed himself through racing and wagering.
Due to his being trained by MacLeod - one of the finest immortal swordsmen - Richie took a lot of heads on his killing spree, rarely if ever fleeing. He returned the following Autumn, still picking fights with any immortal who crossed his path. Dawson came to warn MacLeod to watch over Richie, who was "walking the edge", provoking and challenging everyone. After he killed the year-old Carter Wellan with relative ease for no more reason than the Game, Haresh Clay , Wellan's friend, swore revenge.
Richie was unprepared as Clay attacked him right at his own dwelling and Richie thought that it was Duncan, coming again to persuading him. Richie went to Joe for help. The Watcher was likely to help him, but at this time, his relationship with Duncan was strained, due to the Watcher's oath, he refused to lend him money for a new sword. So Richie tried for a weapon by breaking in to a museum. But Clay was stalking him and confronted him there. Richie broke in to an exhibit to try and grab a sword, and was arrested as the alarm went off.
Duncan paid his bail and got him out of jail, offering to rebuild their shattered friendship. He gave Richie a new sword, one that had belonged to an old teacher of Duncan's, Graham Ashe, who had been killed by Clay.
Richie and Duncan rebuilt their relationship, this time as equals, and Richie reluctantly stepped aside so that Duncan could settle the old score with Clay.
Duncan defeated Clay and offered to let him walk away, but Clay refused and accepted his death. Jennifer Hill came to Seacouver, looking for Duncan to avenge her husband, Alec, as she was "Haunted" by her husband's ghost.
Duncan went to San Francisco to honour his vow to Alec and take the head of the immortal Gerard Kragan, who they think killed Alec. Richie looked after the grieving Jennifer. They felt a mutual attraction - much to Joe Dawson's horror. Joe told Richie it was he who had killed Alec. Richie had only known him as an unnamed immortal.
He had killed him the summer before, when Alec had picked a fight with him. Alec had been on his way to kill Kragan, in a bad mood, and tried to take it out on Richie when his bike got in the way. Unfortunately for Alec, Richie was in a bad mood too after Duncan's attack on him. Despite knowing this, when Jennifer came to Richie's apartment and tried to seduce him, Richie was unable to say no.
He said later he felt like something was just pushing him to be with her. It was theorised by Joe that this might be the effect of Alec's Quickening within him.
However, the moral complications plagued Richie's conscience, and he felt the need to confess. First to Duncan, who reluctantly forgave him. Then to Jennifer, who oddly enough did not. She felt used and abused, and went to Duncan to get him to kill Richie. When the Highlander would not kill his friend, she went back and shot Richie, then was about to kill him with his own sword.
Duncan got there in time to talk her out of it. With the agreement of Alec's ghost, Jennifer let Richie live. When a new Immortal came to Seacouver with a message of peace, Richie was ready and eager to hear it, fed up with his own killing spree. When Richie interrupted a fight between MacLeod and William Culbraith, Duncan began to doubt his own worth as a teacher, but when Richie told him that he had learnt his new nonviolence from 'Methos', Duncan was enraged. Methos turned up at the loft and was amused to find that the "other Methos" was in town.
This mysterious immortal and his gospel of peace had cost several of his converts their heads and Duncan didn't want Richie at risk. He persuades Methos to reveal his identity to Richie, to prove that the other man was a fake. But Richie tells them he believes in the message, not "The Messenger".
Methos found his impersonator, confronted him, but decided not to kill him. Culbraith had no such compunctions and, after taking the imposter's head, tried for Richie's. Richie, having given up his sword, was very vulnerable. But Duncan arrived in the nick of time, staying out of the fight but returning his blade, and Richie defeated Culbraith. After a decidedly unusual courtship with Marina LeMartin, she kidnapped him and tied him to her bed , in "The Ransom Of Richard Redstone", it seemed he was about to settle down.
But a night at the Opera with Duncan was a prelude to disaster, "Archangel". MacLeod swore he saw James Horton on the Quai by the barge that night. After telling MacLeod where they were, he went in to try and rescue Joe, unaware that what he had seen was an illusion. He came upon Duncan fighting invisible enemies.
From Duncan's point of view, he was fighting a demon calling itself Ahriman , which had taken the form of his great enemies Horton and Kronos and that of his student, Richie. Duncan never fully recovered from the death of Richie. Richie didn't believe him and went after him. Richie convinced him REAL fast, though.
Almost threw him off a building, but the little butt-pimple had a wife and a kid on the way, so Richie didn't do it. And there was a counter-plot running regarding MacLeod and an immie who used Rottweilers to take down another immortal and then hold him until they could be killed.
Nice guy, huh? There can be only me, Bartmoss "You kill anybody? Pink and Mr. White, "Reservoir Dogs. I assume you're talking about the ep. Insanity is hereditary. No, you're thinking of two different epsiodes.
The one with Slan was the first, "The Gathering. Article of alt. The episode was 'Leader of the pack'. By the way, when will Richie learn to trust what Mac is telling him and stop running off half-cocked? It can get a little annoying. How did Richie become an Immortal? Reply to author.

I know that Richie was 'born' again as an Immortal sometime in the second season I don't know which episode , but all through the first season at least as far as I've seen Richie has never been considered an Immortal, he neither senses them and Duncan doesn't treat him as an Immortal or Immortal in training.
I know in "The Gathering" that Connor says that " If so, do both Duncan and Connor know that he will become an immortal? Diana Hamilton. In one of the very first episodes, as Duncan was ahem involved with Tessa, he suddenly broke off to come into the antique shop to challenge Richie who was playing with a sword. Clearly he had sensed Richie as an immortal. This was their first intro. He evidently realized Richie was not yet fully vested, but kept an interest. In a later episode he also acknowleged this ability with a young rebellious woman that he saw through the transition.
Actually, there are two other inidicators. In the original episode, could it be that Duncan actually felt Ritchie instead of Slan Quince. It seemed that way. Stan Kirsch Richard H. Rachel Hayward Delila as Delila. Storyline Edit.
