Meanwhile, the team investigates to murder of Jake Griffin, who was found dead after having drowned in the swimming pool of his home. The team realizes that the murder could be connected to a series of home invasions that have taken place recently. Later on, the team invades a house, where a family is being held hostage, and they successfully apprehend all the members of the gang, but they realize that the gang did not kill Jake. They later determine that Jake's brother-in-law, MMA instructor Marshall Martel, is the one responsible for killing Jake, and that Marshall attempted to cover up the killing as a home invasion gone wrong. Steve later participates in a charity MMA fight against Chuck Liddell, taking the place of another fighter, Vitor Boriero who got injured because Marshall also tried to frame him for the murder. When Joe returns home, he encounters Wo Fat, who tries to kill him. After Joe pushes him away, Joe goes to Mokoto, but finds Wo Fat beat him to it and killed Mokoto.

Critical response

Jim Garner with TV Fanatic said "it was disappointing that the show stuck with its current trend of advertising a guest star and then only featuring one scene with him/her. This week we got to meet Agent Kensi Blye (Daniela Ruah) from NCIS: Los Angeles. She clearly had a history with Joe, which I had hoped meant we would see her for more than three minutes. Alas, it was not to be." He also gave the episode an editorial rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars.^[2]
