Because let's be honest, there was a different girl and her set of baggage whether it be her father the scientist, her brother the rock star or her mentor the inventor. (Ha! That just made me laugh right out loud... it's stayin'!) :D But in the end, it was always MacGyver walking away from the burning pile of rubble. And who was the first person he called from his apartment when he got back? Pete.On one of the very first episodes he has a bag and he turns back to the person he's helping and says something to the effect of, "It's not what's in the bag, it's what I find along the way."
