The Second Season of The Hardy Boys continues with Frank (Rohan Campbell) and Joe (Alexander Elliot) continuing to look for answers about the disappearance, and sudden reappearance of one of their classmates. The more they investigate, the more the brothers discover deception pointing to some larger and more sinister going on in the sleepy town. Joe also tries to make sense of his visions and dreams, letting Joe know where the power of the artifact has found a new home. As for the other kids, they are mainly used to keep the grown-ups busy, although “Conflicting Reports” does continue Callie‘s (Keana Lyn) troubles leading her to look for help in the only place left to her.

Our first look at Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) in the captain’s chair offers a pair of risky adventures for the U.S.S.

NCIS: Hawai’i – Ohana

The second-half of the NCIS: Hawai’i season finale features the team searching for the person responsible for the dead spies on both sides of the prisoner exchange leading to increasing tensions between the United States and Russia. The episode ends with a bit of a twist, but since there’s nothing known about the character beforehand it’s a bit of a toothless move that simply used for the sake of having a twist. Along the way another member of the team will be put in momentary danger when he triggers the assassin’s bomb, but once again things are quickly solved as the show moves toward stopping the larger target. That said, the finale does deliver (finally) a reconciliation between Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami) and Whistler (Tori Anderson) hopefully leading to plenty more of the couple together next season.

Dragons: The Nine Realms kicks off its Second Season with the discovery of a Bubblehorn dragon which June immediately falls for and breaks a cardinal rule of Dragon Club by taking the little troublemaker back with her.

The episode is notable for the introduction of June’s less trustworthy older brother Eugene (Vincent Tong) who is suspicious of June’s behavior but has not yet stumbled upon the secret of the dragons.
