really great start to introduce a new show.

a lot of action and some funny scenes.
I liked that the team is coming together just now. Usually they are already working together for a few years.
Poor Steve hearing his father getting shot over the phone.
We had our first cargument - and a serious conversation in the chairs on the beach as well.

Steve had warned Danny about pointing that finger to his face - poking is chest with it wasn't the smartest idea to do then. So he earned himself that twisted arm. Steve hadn't seen that punch coming - good for Danny I think - but it was well deserved too.

liked how they got the information out of sang min.
Steve booking three nights at a hotel for Danny and Grace was a nice thing to do.

I'll watch the episode at some point tomorrow. :nod:
