I hope they don't retroactively make Admiral McGee into a cheating scumbag. And I'm sure Jimmy will manage to say something Wong when meeting Knight's dad. 😼

Too bad his real name won't be used, since the writers try to inject "comedy" into the show, or Jimmy could say "Hmm, I guess too Wong's CAN make a Knight"

The episode was ok, certainly better than last week.
Glad they didn't make the admiral into a cheater. Unusual they had the half-sister's picture on screen at least a half dozen times but the actress didn't appear in person, but there probably wasn't time. I do know where the time went. The one Chinese agent probably took the suicide pill to avoid dying of old age. I can't remember it ever taking anywhere near that long to put handcuffs on someone once they were on the ground. It was worse than a Torres fight. There's good, bad, and worse on the hotel room. The good is the instrument used to pick the lock was a lishi tool; they are very effective and require less skill than a standard pick. The bad is there was only one there, and each lishi is specific to a key size (if you ever got a key manually duplicated at the hardware store you've seen the rack of different blanks and each different blank would be a different tool), and I find it very unlikely either the pirate or the guys that hired him would know before he got there which one was needed and even less likely he'd leave it behind (they're expensive). The worse is that lockoff doors between rooms ALWAYS are paired (might be a law) where each room can only open the one on their side and there is no lock to pick from the other side.
Oh, and using pirate guy was just them being cheap and not wanting to hire another actor.

I don’t have an opinion about the episode, but I do have questions:
how did the “Pirate Guy” know that the doctor was in possession of something valuable? was he eavesdropping on the conversation between her and Chen? were they talking loud enough for him to hear? wouldn’t their conversation be very discreet?? and, wasn’t it more than likely they were speaking Mandarin Chinese and not English?
how did he know where she was staying and how to get in touch with the “buyers”?
are these dumb questions - or was the whole situation just dumb?

As someone said above, I like Jimmy and Jess and hope they continue on as a pair. Thought the guy who played her Dad did an excellent job. Also liked the ending of actually starting over with an introduction. Basic case plot was nothing special.

nas I believe the bad guys that were arrested at the end told him everything when they hired him.

nas The whole situation was dumb. Since the investigation was really the 'B' story we didn't get a lot of the details. The timeline only works if pirate guy was hired before he looked through the camera footage for Knight and dad. The agents and the killer both decided to forego guns for the sake of having a fight. Why would they just grab the vials and not the scientist?
What can be reasoned out is that the bad guys were ahead in the game because they didn't need Kacie to identify the clearly printed name of the restaurant that was on the bag that was in plain sight like the team did. As I already said, the only reason for the pirate guy to be hired by the bad guys is that the producers didn't want to hire an additional actor, and it still would have made a lot more sense for the knife killer to do the hotel himself instead of trying to kill the agents for no logical reason. My only guess on them finding the hotel is she went back to the same place for food, which would also explain the killer hanging out there.
On a side note, I don't know if the restaurant was based on a real place, but it did remind me of a place in Idaho called Gangplank.

thanx, Hari… I was gonna’ go back and rewatch the episode to see if I could make sense of it, but with your answers, I’m not going to bother…
and, btw, I didn’t really think much of “Plan A”, either… I believe Knight is old enough to talk to her father and tell him “the Plan” has changed… but, once again, the writers are treating her (as well as other cast/situations) like juveniles…
