Logan and Wheeler are back to investigate the murder of a late night television host and, rather entertainingly, this case actually has them doing a little more work than usual. The episode actually feels like a proper 42 minute script, rather than the law half of a Law & Order episode that has been extended to fit the bill. Bring on, then, a whole host of suspects, and a whole host of motives including paedophilia. And, to add to all of that, Wheeler gets to meet her hero who is, apparently, Jordie Black, lead singer of The Twisted Strands, a rock group in the 70's - although as Black himself points out, she wouldn't have been old enough to have ever actually seen them perform. It's a nice little touch to Wheeler's character that makes me all the more grateful she has returned.
Outside of the characterisation (and no one really makes an impression, although Joan Jett gives quite a memorable performance for a character who dies in the pretitle sequence) the rest of the episode is fairly workmanlike, and just generally entertaining.
