NCIS: Hawai'i - Serve and Protect

While Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami) is assigned to protect one of the daughter (Masha Mashkova) of a Russian oligarch, and one of the visitors for a peace summit, Hanna (LL Cool J) reads Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) in to one of of his super-secret squad’s assignments, this one involving Alexi Volkoff (David Meunier). Tennant quickly  finds the right lever to get Hanna the information his team needs leaving the majority of the episode to focus on the Lucy storyline. We also get Kai (Alex Tarrant) running into an old friend in a Canadian reporter (Peyton List) he was involved with during his time in Afghanistan who in turns out might be able to help NCIS learn Tatyana’s true purpose on the island.

NCIS: Hawai'i - Dead on Arrival

The death of a Navy pilot in a swanky resort leads to the uncovering of a cocaine smuggling ring on the island. “Dead on Arrival” is most notable for Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami)  and Whistler (Tori Anderson) going in undercover at the resort as a newly married couple, running into a bit of danger, and eventually identifying the brains behind the operation (John Marshall Jones) and the rest of the team raiding the compound at the end of the episode. The episode also plays on Jesse‘s (Noah Mills) concerns about Sam Hanna (LL Cool J) and what he’s really up to, and also Ernie (Jason Antoon) uncovering that whatever the agent from Los Angeles is doing on the island it’s far more hush-hush than simply a teaching assignment.

NCIS: Hawai'i - License to Thrill

Somebody has been watching Point Break. Recovering from an opening with laughably inept performances by both bank security guards and local police (the GCPD in the 60s Batman show were more convincing) allowing a band of thieves on motorcycles to escape, “License to Thrill” wins back some good will with a dumb, but fun, episode playing largely on Jesse (Noah Mills) looking back on the road not taken. There’s not much to the episode other than the team working to identify the stunt-riders turned robbers, with more of Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) struggling, and failing, to discover what Sam Hanna (LL Cool J) is really doing on the island, but there are some fun moments here and there in Jesse shaking dust off some forgotten skills and Whistler (Tori Anderson) attempting to blend in at a supercross rally.
