With the exception of Emily's appearance this episode was just stupid.
The Senate investigation is a lame device. It annoyingly interferes with the flow and the screen time could be better spent following the leads in the investigation. As it was, the search for Doyle and Declan was disjointed. To make it more annoying, almost everything said by the Senator was illogically stupid, but then what do you expect from politicians?
The final piece leading to the solution was too quick even for Garcia.
The final disposition of the team's status was overly dramatic, too simplistic, and just plain convenient.
The unexplained disappearance of Rachel Nichols is another examle of the show's careless juggling of characters.
