The episode was really interesting and had a great storyline. We got to see the team's reactions to the death of one of their own, and the subsequent solving of Pacci's cold case was fascinating. I found it a really interesting and entertaining episode overall.
With that being said, it's definitely not one of my favourite episodes by any means because of the transphobia within. The characters repeatedly misgendered the transgender individual and used her deadname, and Abby is shown stating that she finds gender reassignment surgery even more than hinky - implying that she doesn't approve/thinks it's weird/etc.
Overall, it's a good episode if you can stomach the transphobia, but there is a lot of that and it's frankly disgusting to watch. I love these characters but I definitely don't love their choices here.
