- Title: NCIS: Hawai’i – Primal Fear
- IMDb: link
A couple weeks too early for Halloween, “Primal Fear” offers a search for a serial killer who scares his victims to death after spiking their adrenaline and causing a coronary. The less-than-scary visage of the killer (i.e. random guy in a Halloween mask) doesn’t help sell the premise nor does the rather obvious suspect who is immediately identifiable as the likely killer after showing up on-screen. The episode also sees the return of Coast Guard Special Agent Neil Pike (Mark Gessner) and delivers on the breadcrumbs with Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) meeting his son’s older girlfriend (Sierra Swartz) leading to concerns she decides not the share.
