A prisoner, who was a SEAL and a petty officer in the Navy, escapes from Fort Leavenworth while serving a sentence for having killed his wife and a cable guy; the Army CID investigates the escape, and the Naval CIS seeks to determine where he may go next. Gibbs posts Kate temporarily in the home of the parents of the late wife, which parents have custody of the young son of the convict; while there Kate loses something. The team investigate whether the escapee truly committed the murders; they reexamine all the old evidence at the trial plus some new stuff. They find the real killer, and Gibbs posts Kate to a different home. McGee tells Gibbs that Kate and Tony have a question for him.
