This article contains spoilers for 'NCIS: Hawai'i' Episode 3: 'Recruiter'

'NCIS: Hawai'i' has been a Twitter trend since its debut three weeks ago and the latest crime procedural from CBS seems to have hit a home run as the chatter has only become louder with the reviews tilting heavily towards the positive. The latest episode titled, 'Recruiter' sees Kai (Alex Tarrant) goes undercover with one of Hawaii's oldest surf gangs when a petty officer is murdered.

'Recruiter' has generous doses of action, wry humor, and some drama that makes the spin-off a lot more relatable and promising. In a bid to rescue a teen from an anxious and overly-attached mother who literally kills so her son wouldn't join the Navy, Kai & Jane Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) embark on a mission that would not just help the son, the prime suspect, off the hook, but also help realize his dream.
