Letting Harry (Noah Wyle) take the lead, the team goes up against a couple of crooked local cops (Alanna Masterson and Derek Theler) jailing honest people for real estate kickbacks after their homes get foreclosed. The transition from taking down the cops to saving the life of their latest victim is a little more clumsy than usual with Harry in charge, but the team manages to pull off a classic con sending the pair of marks after hidden treasure allowing their greed to blind them temporarily.

Abominable and the Invisible City – A Cabbage Kinda Day

  • Title: Abominable and the Invisible City – A Cabbage Kinda Day
  • IMDb: link

Following up one the weakest episode of the show’s First Season, “A Cabbage Kind of Day” puts the focus back on Yi (Chloe Bennet) who takes on more responsibility than she can handle in a single day including dealing with one of the babies from the previous episode found still lurking around the rooftop for Jin (Tenzing Norgay Trainor) and Peng (Ethan Loh) to look after. We also get a bit of a jealous older-brother vibe from Everest who doesn’t like the attention the baby is getting from his friends. Certainly better than “Jin’s New Look,” the episode also features some nice morals for its younger viewers touching on asking for help, jealousy, and finding balance in your life.
