It is like two episodes of two diferent shows mingled together with no connection whatsoever. What was the point of Hen's story? Just there to go nowhere, the switching from the ship to LA was weirdly paced. What if the episode started with Hen being worried about the missing cruise and from there she makes questionable judgement call? It easily goes both ways - was she concentrated enough to make the best decision and despite being worried she is still professional enough. You have an organic build to a conflict and you actually have connection with all parts of the episode. Now it was just the 100th times she'd say how she is judged differently. Where is Hen from first season? She was a great strong character whose actions spoke for her. Slowly they made it as if she thinks can never make a mistake.
The writing on the cruise part of the story was also so-so. The emotional scene between Bobby and Athena is great because of what they say and how they act, but when put into the context of not-a-real-danger danger, it feels cheap.
I will watch it next week, but this season seems off to me. The long close ups to the faces of the actors, the score, the overall feel... it is just weird.
