NCIS: Hawai'i

• Title: NCIS: Hawai’i – Into Thin Air
• wiki: link

In a storyline that pretty heavily suggest there will be a major twist, a Marine’s wife (Nikiva Dionne) is kidnapped and held for a ransom that can’t possibly be paid (except for that $3 million in illegal money he and his best friend helped smuggle from Iraq). The plot attempts to first point to the husband (Brandon Fobbs) as the perpetrator, but there’s really nothing to back that up given his genuine concern for his missing wife. The death of his compatriot and the missing money only makes things more murky for the investigation until Carla (Seana Kofoed) finds some sloppy evidence that points to an obvious suspect no one has been looking at.

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.
