The games of Elena Federova (Morena Baccarin) continue as the latest puts Doak (Noah Bean) in danger and in prison Owen Turner (Kamal Angelo Bolden) and Sergey (Costa Ronin) deal with an unforeseen problem. Val (Ryan Michelle Bathe) tracks down one of Federova’s lieutenants, giving her a small win (and also ending the Doak stalemate without any big takedown by Federova). That isn’t the only win, as Val discovers how someone is communicating with Federova inside the black site. Now, can the FBI find a way to use this knowledge to their advantage?

NCIS: Hawai’i – Monster

  • wiki: link

When NCIS connects a hitman to a local restaurant, Kai (Alex Tarrant) goes undercover in the kitchen where he uncovers the owner and head chef being pressured into laundering money for a local drug dealer as well as the connection to the hired killer who arrives and begins killing everyone in the operation. While providing most of the action, and getting NCIS onto the case, the hitman is somewhat of a red herring for the trouble at the restaurant which Kai uncovers. Family drama fills in the various B-stories as Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) and her ex deal with her son (Kian Talan) considering a college scholarship far from home and Kai’s troubled history with his father resurfaces on the eve of his mother’s birthday.

Wolf Like Me – Episode 4

  • Title: Wolf Like Me – Episode 4
  • IMDb: link

After another public run-in, that gets a bit more comedic than it needs to (but still entertains), Mary (Isla Fisher) comes to dinner in an episode that suggests maybe having a girlfriend who is a werewolf isn’t the worst thing in the world. “Episode 4” continues to build on Mary’s relationship with Emma (Ariel Donoghue) and, despite his objections and insecurities that eventually drive her out of the house, Gary (Josh Gad) continues to fall for her as well. I will assume the final two episodes will explore if this relationship will work, and what happens when Emma learns Mary’s secret?

Legacies – Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost

The various drama at the school is put on hold in “Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost” as Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) and Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) torture Aurora de Martel (Rebecca Breeds) and, in Limbo, Alaric (Matthew Davis), Landon (Aria Shahghasemi), and Ted (Ben Geurens) make a deal with a genie getting three wishes that don’t go as anyone expects. The Limbo storyline, with its various twists, turns out to be the better of the two stories returning on character to his villainous alter-ego, one character back to the land of the living, but leaving two of them trapped in Limbo. As for the Hope/Lizzie storyline, I can’t help question whether Lizzie’s big breakthrough moment, leading to a team-up with Aurora), is merely another of Hope’s plans. I guess we’ll wait and see.

This time it’s hacker Alex (Aimee Garcia) whose curiosity over Tom‘s (Jeremy Shada) recent actions overrules her dislike of the outside world and leads her to making some new friends including her equally skittish dragon Feathers. With all the characters now officially Dragon Riders, the set-up is complete. Now, what adventures do the show have for the new generation of Dragon Riders?
