and movie HL canon is somewhat different than tv HL canon--I'm basing my answers on the tv show
This is good. I'm looking for TV canon - I have, technically, seen the movie, although my memory of it is not just shaky but downright wrong.
That's exactly what happens. Eventually, another immortal finds them and (usually) either becomes their teacher or finds them a teacher.
And teaches them, like, sword fighting and stuff? But isn't that sort of counter-productive, since eventually they'll have to kill each other? (I've always wondered why the first immortal didn't end up being the one - Highlander is where "there can be only one" comes from, isn't it? - just by dint of methodically hunting down all the others before they got good at sword fighting.)
The immortal is vulnerable while "temporarily dead," in that another immortal can come along and cut off his head while he's helpless.
Ah-ha! I asked someone about that up above. Question answered!
