Not to sound overly picky, but it would've been nice to see Callen mention Hetty. Since afterall, he's putting this whole thing off until he brings her home.

Interesting episode. Interesting commentary about real life.

Callen does not strike me as someone who is a wedding planner type. No wonder he and Anna were not on the same page. Still does not high on the idea that this wedding will actually happen. Although if this is the end, it might. Although I did like the Anna and Callen final scene at the wedding planning, and how the planner was baffled by them.

A little shocker with Sam and his daughter. But it was heartfelt. Love that he loves her, regardless.

Little surprised by how Kenzie was hard on the sailor, because it not usual her way of initial impressions. To be so hard on them.

Interesting this episode came after Lucy of Hawaii went back to Hawaii. Did like they named check her. It would have been a nice cameo. Oh, well.

Wonder why the case went to LA not Hawaii if Lucy used to be the agent afloat? Guess they were the closer branch of the agency. Plus the family was based in the LA. Also Lucy acted more like nothing ever happened on the ship. Multiple suicides isn't nothing

Agreed Kensi came on a bit stronger/harder than usual

Nice secret section of the bar for people who don't feel they can or can't come out

The poor couple living in secret. Shame that ended up being part of the motive behind the killing. Would've been interesting to see Lucy's reaction to the case

Kilbride complementing younger generations. Rare moment

Interesting link between the case & Sam's home life. Understandable why Kam wouldn't be ready to tell her father. Regardless of what he says though, having an identity & knowing who/what she is still has an importance. Sexuality may not change who Kam is but being able to understand it may give her some internal strength.

And apparently they got the name of the ship wrong. If you are going to namecheck one of the characters in your franchise. Get the facts right. I know, I know, different shows, different writers but come on. Call them up, and ask... And yeah, Lucy made it seem like it was pretty dry assignment except for that one case we got to see. And she had just gone back to Hawaii, so it was not it was six months ago.

That's some terrible researching there... surely it wouldn't have been hard to have checked that?
