- Title: NCIS: Hawai’i – Desperate Measures
- wiki: link
NCIS butts heads with a local DEA task force after Commander Chase (Seana Kofoed) is kidnapped by one of the DEA’s confidential informants who the DEA believe is responsible for killing one of their agents. 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.
For the second episode in a row we see Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) take a risk and put herself on the line, this time saving the life of a friend and also go to bat for kidnapper and accused murderer against the DEA. We also see Ernie‘s (Jason Antoon) concern for his missing friend kick-start the investigation and we get Whistler (Tori Anderson) stepping in to offer help which she knows is what Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami) would do if she wasn’t out at sea.
