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.

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]
