All in all this epi was OK for me. It had its good moments, but was not very outstanding.

The mention of Dom's fate was great for me in the first moment, but felt a bit weird (kinda forced) in the second scene.

Kensi tackling the guy was great, of course. Her walk with the victim's mum through Chinatown at the end was good, too. I kept holding my breath every time she looked around for the attackers.

Nate "in the field" was hilarious. Good though that Hetty told him the story of the former psychologist-go-agent-guy. The ending showed well that the team also wants him to stay in his previous field.

Sam razzing G at the beginning was maybe the funniest moment of the epi but there were some others, too, like the search with G and the toilet seat and Sam and the high heel. Also Kensi and Nate at the victim's home watching the intruder. Hetty had it's funny moment when Nate asked for advice.
I'm sure Eric had a funny moment, too, but I cannot think of it right now, so I'll be back on that.

As for the story I found it both interesting and creepy. In my opinion the one-child-policy backstory used as explanation for the immigration was fitting. The victim raised as a sleeper left quite a creepy aftertaste as it keeps me thinking how many of those people are around...
