I was so confused with Zeke opening the door I thought it was a dream until he mentioned it to Gabi at the end.

Yeah, I have not been invested in this story at all and she's the big reason why.

Yeah, I was so excited to see she was back and then ... yeah. I wonder if they're going the "she's got sociopathy like her dad" route.

I love how messy and trauma ridden they all are, because it's way more realistic to life. They are accomplishing things, but also hampered by what happened to them. Their traumas help them while investigating and hamper them in life outside of that. I'm hoping they'll do individual episodes flashing back on Zeke, Dhan and Margaret and what happened to them and how it affected them in the past. We know Lacey and Gabi's history, but aside from knowing Dhan was tortured (possibly a POW?), Zeke was held captive as a child and has agoraphobia and Margaret's son is missing, we don't know a lot about who they were before and what the circumstances were, so I hope we get into that.

Surprisingly, it kind of does! Not coma to awake obviously, but many people with failing livers have hepatic encephalopathy - basically brain injury from the toxins in the blood that can't be filtered by the damaged liver. My dad had his transplant and was a completely different person in 36 hours. It was insane.

I really miss Julian McMahon.

I hundred percent think Lala will be dead at the season finale. I really loved that she called Gibbs out on his sexism. It was of the "nice" variety, but still sexism. Just because he wasn't telling raunchy jokes didn't mean he wasn't demeaning her by thinking she couldn't handle herself in the field and thinking he had to run interference with Franks. It also played well with her leading the undercover opp and him being so awkward.

Deputy Chief Reid played by Shawn Hatosy.

I like that this puts his later coma in perspective too.

"What is that!?" "Quiet Riot, sir!" LOL. I really enjoyed this too. It was a ridiculous episode, but it worked and it was fun.

This show is very dull.

I'm pretty sure Denny shoved Mara out of the way.

I'm surprised to find I'm enjoying the focus on one person per episode at the moment. I'm also really happy with the pacing of everything.

I think we're headed for a brain tumour storyline or something similar.

I'd love to see Velma get out there with Colter.
