While in 2000 we see Honey (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) return to her family home, flashbacks to 1992 continue with the mission that caused her to split from Bunny (Varun Dhawan) and Guru (Kay Kay Menon). The surprise news of her unexpected pregnancy weighs on Honey heading into the team stealing the Armada from Dr. Raghu (Thalaivasal Vijay) whose actions after she faints at dinner with him prove to her what kind of man he is as do Bunny’s killing him on Guru’s orders. Between Honey’s horror at Bunny’s actions and lies and Bunny’s anger at her questioning their mission, any hopes for Honey sharing the news of her pregnancy fall apart.

Wizards Beyond Waverly Place – Saved by the Spell

The best thing about this episode of sending Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown) to a non-magical school for the first time is the pun in its title (sadly the episode doesn’t feature Billie stopping time and directly speaking to the audience). Despite being told “no magic,” Billie uses plenty in her attempt to win over Roman‘s (Alkaio Thiele) best friend Winter (Taylor Cora) after striking out making friends of her own. Playing on the tease from the previous episode we also see a phantomus drawn to the school by Billie’s magic and attack Roman (after he steals her wand).

The case of a Navy seaman abducted by a human trafficking ring leads Gibbs (Austin Stowell) and Dominguez (Mariel Molino). However, things get more interesting when cartel responsible is revealed to be the same cartel that killed Gibbs’ family. “Vivo o Muerto” plays the “everyone on deck” trope with lots of work in the office while Gibbs and Dominguez, and eventually Franks (Kyle Schmid), work to track down not only the seaman but several other women all held by the cartel whose members include the man Gibbs has been hunting since his return from overseas.
