Throwback Thursday takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police officers turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. “Magic Fire” is an odd episode that merges a story about magic, arson, and fashion together. While eventually the threads do come together, it’s easily one of the more awkward setups of the series as police suspect a magician (E.J. André) who uses fire in his act of setting fires despite having no motive to do so. Looking into other magic acts, Bosley (David Doyle) and Kris (Cheryl Ladd) go undercover in their own act and Kelly (Jaclyn Smith) plays the role of a famous magician’s daughter. The show telegraphs the identity of the arsonist (Victoria Carroll) with a prank on Kris, although none of the Angels pick up on it.

The discovery of a Marine staff sergeant’s body in a junk yard leads NCIS into an investigation into the world of underground street racing on the island where the Marine spent his spare time. While early evidence points to a jealous ex-boyfriend (Robby Ramos) who runs a chop shop, but Ernie (Jason Antoon) does a little digging leading to the true killer (Tristyn Lau). The B-stories delve into Alex (Kian Talan) hiding a new romance from his mother and a potential hiccup for Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami) and Whistler (Tori Anderson) which is mostly the series manufacturing drama where none really exists.

Shadow and Bone feels every bit the adaptation of a young adult fantasy series.  In this case, not only was the first book of the series adapted but a separate storyline about local thieves was added as well leading to the disconnected storylines early in the eight-part season that didn’t quite gel until a few episodes into the season.
