Star Wars: The Bad Batch - The Return

“A Different Approach” picks up events with Omega (Michelle Ang) and Crosshair (Dee Bradley Baker) on the run together and the new pup teaching the old dog a few new tricks as Omega takes the lead in less murdery plans on getting back to the rest of the squad. It’s a nice little episode building the comradery of the two characters even more before delivering them to a remote location in time for a reunion.

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.
