“Rising Sun” offers the return of CGSI Neil Pike (Mark Gessner) whose undercover mission to recover smuggled guns ends in bloodshed when put between various sides of the local Yakuza when the upstart son of one of the most powerful families starts up an old rivalry for his own gain. Pike seems to get passed around to someone in every episode and this time he’s Ernie‘s (Jason Antoon) problem (although the pair do manage to forge a bond by the end). Other than Team Nernie, the episode is notable for Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) and Whistler (Tori Anderson) having each other’s backs and for stirring up the ongoing B-story involving Kai‘s (Alex Tarrant).

The episode never quite sells us on the idea of Santino (Ian Verdun) as a killer leading to an unsurprising twist when the captive medical examiner starts believing in his innocence. The trigger-happy agents of the DEA also make it all too easy to figure out what’s really going on.
