The best thing about this episode were the cute furry critters that everyone had. Those were the best trained dogs I have ever seen on TV. After at least a couple of hours, none of them had done their business in the cafe!

Even better was the focus on the only good actor in this series, William McInnes. Unfortunately, Todd Lasance got to scream at his boss like a little girl because the police might actually shoot someone who was pointing a gun at numerous people while walking around with a bomb vest.

It would have been interesting if she had blown the cafe, just to see the reactions of all the smarmy jackass characters at NCIS who were crying for the bomber, even though she was an accomplice to a fellow police officer being killed. The way the NCIS just glossed over the murder of a police officer was disgraceful.

Even worse was the horribly annoying spazz, or rather Blue. She spends the entire episode in tears, because she has so much sympathy for the bomber and her sick sister. She cannot get anything decrypted, and she is totally useless. Finally, at one point she runs into the restroom to cry. What is this character doing on a crime show??

Eventually she notices that the sick sister has a tracker on her book bag. As she points out to the rest of the losers, "It has been staring me in the face all day." Yes it has. Once again Blue spazz whiffs it. I cannot even remotely take this series seriously.

Between spazz and the crybaby Ozzie detective Dempsey, it is a joke. Then in every episode, Sean Sagar is twriling the basketball on his finger tips. Is that his only acting skill? Is that what he brings to the table?

Perhaps the best part of this episode is that Olivia Swann was hardly involved at all. The best thing that could happen to NCIS Sydney is if Swann and Blue eloped and they brought in better actors.
