Will Trent - Have You Never Been to a Wedding?

With Faith’s (Iantha Richardson) boyfriend out of town, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) accompanies his partner and her son (Deion Smith) to a wedding that quickly goes to hell when armed robbers take everyone hostage. The episode allows Faith to play a bit of John McClane while Will attempts to deescalate the situation and talk some sense into the robbers which becomes harder to do once they turn on each other. Eventually Angie (Erika Christensen) and Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) arrive with the cavalry taking down the remaining thieves.

NCIS: Hawai'i - Spill the Tea

After teasing us with their existence for much of the season, “Spill the Tea” introduces us to NCIS: Elite. Let’s just say I’m not impressed. Kai (Alex Tarrant), Jesse (Noah Mills), and Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami), who returns to steal the best moments of the episode, are read into the the squad’s mission when their star witness is poisoned in their secret facility (basically failing their single objective of keeping him alive). We get some, mostly good-natured, competition between the two squads as NCIS: Hawai’i identifies the method in which Alexi Volkoff (David Meunier) was poisoned and then track down the team who committed the crime.

Delicious in Dungeon - Dryad/Cockatrice

After an episode devoted entirely to the other party which continues to tease an eventual confrontation between them and our adventurers, “Dryad/Cockatrice” catches back with our heroes trapped in the lower dungeons which the Dungeon Mage is shifting and rebuilding keeping them from escaping. We get two monster sightings in the party’s wanderings in the Dryad and the Cockatrice, both of which provide their own challenges but end up on the dinner table (with the Dryads especially making for some interesting cuisine). The episode is also notable for Marcille (Emily Rudd) beginning to teach Laios (Damien C. Haas) magic in hopes he can help keep them alive in the trials to come. Her teaching is immediately put to the test when Marcille is petrified by the Cockatrice.

Fallout - The Head / The Ghouls

“The Head” and “The Ghouls” offer us the short-term forced team-up of the Ghoul (Walton Goggins) and Lucy (Ella Purnell) who he tracks down but only after she’s lost the scientist’s head to a water beast. The two together is the highlight of the two episodes, which do take a slight dip here compared to the rest of the season. We also get a pairing for Maximus (Aaron Moten) who, while still pretending to be Titus, is given a new squire in Thaddeus (Johnny Pemberton) who he will need to keep his identity secret from. On the trail of Lucy, the pair find the same water beast, defeating it and claiming the head, perhaps giving Maximus a bit too much confidence he can continue to pull of this rouse.

Dead Boy Detectives - The Case of Crystal Palace

Would I have preferred Netflix make good on their promise of a Hunter Rose Grendel show? Of course (who wouldn’t other than apparently Netflix CEO Greg Peters?), but getting an adaptation of a comic by Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner isn’t a bad consolation prize. Confirming that it is set in the same universe as Netflix’s The Sandman, the first episode of Dead Boy Detectives introduces us to the supernatural detectives who also happen to be dead. The status quo of Edwin Paine (George Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri) in dealing only with ghostly clients is thrown into disarray by psychic medium Crystal Palace (Kassius Nelson) who sticks around after the pair help with her demonic possession.
