Both A and B mysteries provide plenty of entertainment for our detectives in “Two Hundred Dollars and a Buss Pass.” Investigating the murder of a victim who reminds himself of his own experiences, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) uncovers a connection between a campus drug study and the murder. In the B-story, Angie (Savannah Hutson) and Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) investigate the murder of a magician at a retirement community (where he and his accomplice were fleecing the tenants out of thousands of dollars). Both cases involve our detectives dealing with uncooperative groups of college kids or seniors before getting to the truth.

While some of comic attempts to wrap-up various JLI threads still hanging out there, the main focus is on Ice and dealing with the loss of the man she inadvertently killed and fell in love with all in twelve days.

A break-in and double murder reminds Jesse (Noah Mills) of an old case closed by a former NCIS agent Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) got fired from NCIS after she took over the assignment at Pearl Harbor.
