Like the previous ones in this series what parts of the episode that do actually involve investigating and solving Navy crimes are interesting, but once again that fills only a meager portion of the time. The episode's crime plot revolves around a Navy environmental officer being killed by a wild animal that escaped from a crashed smuggler's ship, this part is actually interesting, but it only fills up maybe 1/3 of the screen time. The rest is spent between being a commercial for the latest SUV from Subaru and dealing with everyone's relationship status, how they are feeling, who they like and on and on. This is supposed to be a series about investigating and solving crimes, not a soap opera, this is not what NCIS is supposed to be. Yes the original series, and the other spinoffs, deal with relationships of the characters, but they usually only did so occasionally, the didn't fill up large portions of time in each and every episode going over each and every character's feelings while everyone is super polite, nice, PC and woke and it doesn't end until everyone feels special; I want to see Gibbs smack all of them on the back of the head and tell them to grow up, man up and toughen up! Wouldn't be surprised if next season they add a "safe place" area to the squad room where the agents can go to cry after a suspect says something that hurts their feelings.
