Storyline

Never-married Marine Sergeant Heather Dempsey, a bomb squad Afghanistan veteran, reports having shot an unidentified intruder at her base home. Elaborate forensics determine it's Glover Reese, a hired gun who removed his own fingerprints. He had a classified GI cellphone, which Fornell reveals traces to to FBI deputy director Gary Tolin, who seemed to be hiding an adulterous affair with Dempsey. She is nearly killed by a bomb aboard the USS Barry, moored on ceremonial duty. But an older family drama proves key to the case. Public Affairs Office Ron Sands tags along, as Tony is his choice as face of the new NCIS recruiting brochure. Written by KGF Vissers

Goofs

Ducky tells Jimmy about his memory of a criminal who removed his own fingerprints by soaking his fingers in pineapple juice. He erroneously says that the pineapple juice is pepsin. In reality, pepsin is an enzyme produced in the stomach. The pineapple enzyme is called bromelain, and the papaya enzyme is papain. See more »

Quotes

Abby Sciuto: Guns usually speak to me. They tell me what I need to know. You, sir, are not co-operating.
Jimmy Palmer: [Entering] This is getting scary. Dr. Mallard talks to the dead. And now you're talking to evidence. Never mind.
Abby Sciuto: Well, it usually works with firearms. This one's not saying a peep.
