DON’T MISS: “Magnum P.I.” — Say “aloha” to Season 2 of the sun-drenched crime series as it doubles up with back-to-back final episodes. In the first, Magnum and Higgins are each hired by a different spouse who are in the middle of a contentious divorce to dig up dirt on the other. Awkward! And then, in the closer, Magnum and Higgins help Rick when his father figure, Icepick (Corbin Bernsen) — just out of prison and battling terminal cancer — gets double crossed on a final score. Also, Magnum makes one last bold move to help Higgins stay from being deported when her visa expires. (9 & 10 p.m. Friday, CBS).
