I had to suspend far too much disbelief while watching this episode.
No officer would let a kid hold onto a gun for his own comfort after a standoff. I understand that this matter was designed to make the new character endearing, but there are ways for a writer to do that without being absurd.
Then there's the plot device. The New York agents travel to DC because one of the victims there is a federal officer ("moonlighting" at a hotel), but I couldn't fathom that there would be no local FBI agents to investigate the crime, considering where FBI headquarters is located. At least show the New York officers working with them for the sake of believability.
The performances were as good as ever, and I certainly like the newcomer Gaines, but the issues with believability were distracting.
