This episode is so badly written it makes you wonder if they forgot about it until the last minute. It is full of tropes you'd expect from every F- show/movie made.
International officer teaching local law enforcement basic self defense outside in a public area
Newbie expected to arrive, insert clumsy but supposed to be funny "didn't know she was at the door" entrance
Newbie gives the "I'm tougher than I look" line
Leader shows soft side with a dog on the team that was retired
US office gives the old "that international leader is the best" speech.
Int'l FBI leader goes to find bad guy, gets "don't go in alone" speech from foreign bureau liaison
Cop arrives, bad cop on the take but of course turns good cop because "he has a daughter" that never motivated him before
OA joins the team for mission, of course meets resistance from int'l leader
OA gives the "help me or step aside" speech and acts like a rebel not an officer
OA gets the "I worked a case" speech that joins everyone together
The unsure team rookie gets the strong leader nudge
Smug villain get the comeuppance reveal at the end where none of his hugh up, rich, government connected contacts tell him of a magically new treaty article that will force him back to the states
Find out team rookie was a problem child in her old office but team leader took her anyway.
This is bad, bad writing. If this lasts a full season, it's because Dick Wolf has pictures of important people hidden somewhere.
