    I like the bit where Tony's car blew up. I hope he wasn't in it

    Wow

    I don't like to give spoilers, so I won't. However, I must say the ending was not at all what I expected. Intriguing. There is still much left to this mystery.

    I also have to agree with the other reviewer. I don't care for the Jenny character. I hope that she winds up being replaced. We will just have to wait and see how all of this plays out. It was an interesting start to the season.

    Apologetic

    While I am so intrigued by this storyline, I am also confused. Tony's loyalty to Gibbs goes way past professional; not so with the director. There must be a chain of command issue here too somewhere if not a human conflict in Tony.

    I understand the need at some point to flesh out a character. The director has more a jeckyl/Hyde change. Does not bode well for her. Also apologies for this, but could some of that goop been scraped off her lips? Pouty is not a good look for a professional crime fighter. Hopefully the pretentious "Jeanne" will fade into the side. She is the whiniest MD tv has to offer.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The music in the background of the voicemail on Tony's cover cellphone is the 20th Century Fox music.
    • Goofs
      When the team arrives at the marina in the final scene, Gibbs draws his pistol just before he enters the gate. As he boards the vessel, he draws it again. This is not incorrect, nor a continuity error. What is cut out is Gibbs following a standard weapons-handling procedure of holstering his weapon before climbing the gangway on to the yacht. Moored vessels can easily move on the water and the gangway can shift dramatically making it unsafe to climb while holding a weapon. His approach to the deck level would have been covered by Tony from the marina path. You then see Ziva holster her weapon as she moves onto the gangway, ensuring that she too is safe and no member of the team is moving, unarmed, without support from someone else.
