Storyline

Navy nuclear physicist lieutenant commander Calvin Lee (31) is found hanging from an LA bridge, a suicide. But several motives involve crimes. His secret gay lover, Jaxson, had his throat slit.

And Cal's father, a first generation immigrant, has his own secrets, including a daughter Jane he never knew, because of PR China's single child-policy.

Goofs

The pictures that Kensi has posted on the wall are marked 'CLASSIFIED' on both the front and back. Classified material must be marked 'CONFIDENTIAL', 'SECRET' or 'TOP SECRET'. Only the front would be mark since there is no classified information on the back. It is doubtful that these photos would be classified by themselves.
