NCIS: Hawai’i – Vanishing Act

  • Title: NCIS: Hawai’i – Vanishing Act
  • wiki: link

While searching for a boy’s missing mother, NCIS discovers she’s a fugitive being chased both by a bounty hunter and criminals tied to the crime she was charged with. “Vanishing Act” gives us an episode that highlights both Jesse (Noah Mills), who spends time with the son, and Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami), who both works the case and is involved in the B-story involving a possible promotion which would mean leaving Hawai’i. I’m always up for a Lucy-centric story, and the episode delivers (even with the promise of her upcoming abscence). I’d guess the short hiatus will either be ignored (i.e. the show jumps forward after a couple episodes in tune with the mid-season break) or NCIS: Hawai’i will take Lucy’s absence to try and build-up other characters.

Stargirl – The Killer

  • Title: – Chapter Ten: The Killer
  • IMDb: link

In an episode that gives us Mike (Trae Romano) and Jakeem (Alkoya Brunson) working their way back home to warn of the Ultra-Humanite, attempts to broker peace between the JSA and the Mankents, and (as the title suggests) the reveal of our killer, “The Killer” is most notable for the final appearances of Crusher (Neil Hopkins) and Paula (Stella Smith). Having started their run on the show as low-card villains which slowly became comic-relief neighbors, the Crocks did warn me over and their final appearance gives us them work separately and together as true friends of the heroes and loving parents to the young woman they will leave behind. For Stargirl to make me care about the pair’s deaths it a testament to the investment made in both characters.
