This week's episode has the NCIS-LA team trying to find a terrorist cell who have had their faces modified by a plastic surgeon and they don't have any idea of what they look like, except for the wife of the plastic surgeon who did the job. They'd ask the surgeon himself but he has been killed by the terrorists.
This episode would have been brilliant if it hadn't been for two things. Firstly, the wife as a character was incredibly annoying in her reaction to things. Firstly she is being shot at outside a FBI building and instead of running up a couple of more steps AWAY from the shooter and into the safety of the FBI, she runs down the steps and down the street! Why would anyone do that? And then at the end, when the team are hunting down the last terrorist at a crowded party, instead of staying at the bar where it is safe, she WALKS into the line of fire!! That was a very lazy way of writing and not what I have come to expect from the NCIS team.
The second thing is that Christopher Judge from Stargate was criminally underused! I think he actually only got one or two lines and was in it for only a couple of minutes.
This was a clever story but was clumsily executed.
