One of the advantages of bringing in Alden Parker to replace Gibbs is that he can be in the field a bit more and give us some more interesting episodes and concepts, and we definitely got that here. This had a little bit of comedy thrown in, but definitely had some excitement and some action to it. This is the kind of episode that NCIS should give us a lot more of: there is real danger for one or more of the characters, there are immediate stakes with an early death, and we are left watching until the end.
A standout of the season, even though I know they can still give us even better than this one.
