Good episode, but not great, because the case of the week was only OK. I was waiting for the debut of Jessie and after just one episode, I think she's great. Good casting. Although I did not expect that she was associated with Michael Noshimuri in the past. When I think that Tani/Megahan can not be even more amazing, the scene with Koa from the end of the episode comes out. Awesome scene and Meaghan acting. I just love Tani. Besides last scene with Steve and Danny also was great. A similar scenario as in 8x01, first a argument, then a very nice scene between Steve and Danny. I'm also happy that Noelani had a bigger role in episode. On the plus side also funny scenes Steve and Danny, with Junior, and Kamekona and Pua.
