Magnum, P.I.

Computer Date - S2-E13

Plot hole: The plot of the episode is nonsense. The boss of the company knows that Magnum made no progress and is on the wrong track, since he suspects someone in Marketing - it should also be noted that Magnum is mystified knowing that the President has the access codes, but he himself has them, and it would be a given to learn who has the various codes as first thing in a security analysis like he conducted. Yet for a couple weeks this Prez guy sends his wife to just sleep with the PI's friend, for...no discernible reason, other than create a diversion he did not need and that hinges on events and reactions that non only he couldn't predict, but also have nothing to do with facilitating his espionage, considering also that a more competent security firm is hired right after. Likewise, why would the guy from R&D try to "scare Magnum off" doing an attempted murder that is sure to get him arrested when he knows Magnum is focusing on the wrong department?
