Lucy‘s (Yasmine Al-Bustami) skills both at poker and undercover work will be put to the test when NCIS inserts her into an underground poker game involving a drug boss who has managed to avoid prison on a technicality. Even the B-story is a bit Lucy-centric as her relationship with Whistler (Tori Anderson) is thrown for a loop with the arrival of an old girlfriend who seems to think she and Whistler are still an item. The later isn’t necessarily a bad development for the character in the long-term, but I am sad to see CBS bailing on the lesbian relationship so quickly.

Taking place in Hawaii, it only makes since that NCIS: Hawai’i would eventual get around to a Pearl Harbor episode. “Impostor” offers some nice twists as the body of a sailor killed in the 40s is found leading to questions about the true identity of the retired soldier who has been living under his name for more than seven decades. The fact that the war hero has massive local support and is suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease makes the cold case even tougher for Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) and her team.  The B-story also showcases Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami) attempting to make more of an effort in her relationship with Whistler (Tori Anderson) while also touching lightly on Tennant struggling to talk to her daughter about racism.

“Legacy” offers one night of romance for Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) and the departing Joe (Enver Gjokaj) while offering a case of the week involving the death of a protestor on an uncooperative tech billionaire’s (Rob Benedict) land. Stonewalled by the tycoon and his lawyers, the team investigates the protestor and uncovers an unexpected connection between him and both their suspect and his wife (Jenna Leigh Green). The murder of the week is solid with various B-stories offering peeks into core characters such as Kai (Alex Tarrant) siding with the protestors and a revelation of Lucy‘s (Yasmine Al-Bustami) family wealth. I’d expect to see each of these threads to be developed further, and I’m not so certain we’ve seen the final departure of Captain Joe.
