A naval officer dies on board Air Force One of an apparent stroke after eating with the president. Secret Service, F.B.I. and N.C.I.S all want to take charge of the investigation to determine if it was murder or natural causes.
Know that JAG kicked off NCIS. But this is how the show really developed. As we see the Secret Service in charge of protecting the President and Agent Catlin Todd, who used to be with the USSS.
NCIS wants to view the death of a Major on board the Air Force One. As the USSS, FBI, and NCIS get into jurisdiction friction. Plus all kinds of comic relief over this.
NCIS take over Air Force One and fly away with it. As agent Todd, aka Kate is forced to help out. At first she is a suspect due to her relationship with the Major of the Marines. But after a brief interrogation with Gibbs on board in the Air Force One bathroom, she is proved innocent.
This is one of the rare times we see Gibb's funny humor. But it is a great way of kicking off a hit show still on!
