NCIS: Hawai’i offers a well-worn story trope for the action/cop show when Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) goes missing when the helicopter transferring a prisoner (Dylan Kenin) across the island goes down in the jungle. While her team begins the search to find her, Tennant and the only other agent (Nick Creegan) not hurt in the crash go after the prisoner only to find themselves wounded themselves and trapped in a cave deep in the wilderness and far from the eyes of those who will come looking for them.

The Flash – Partners in Time

  • Title: The Flash – Partners in Time
  • wiki: link

“Partners in Time” offers a time-loop episode. Well, sort of. The characters involved in the loop are aware of events, and time does seem to pass, but neither Barry (Grant Gustin), Iris (Candice Patton), nor the inspectors checking on S.T.A.R. Labs can leave the speed lab. There’s plenty to nitpick about this episode such as why Barry and Iris remember events from the loop but no one else does (conveniently forgetting Barry is the Flash), the extremely early clue as to which inspector (Diana Bang) was the super-villain from the future, or how a time magnet turns people into random objects from history.
