- The NCIS team investigates a cold case involving WWII-era bones on the 80th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor bombings, and are shocked to learn they belong to a 100-year-old survivor of the attack.
- A skeleton found by a beachcomber turns out to belong to Ken Ito a 100-year-old survivor of Pearl harbor. At first he's thought to have been a Japanese spy, but it later turns out he was a 0SS agent who led a troop of Japanese soldiers into an ambush. He'd initially been mistaken for Ken Ito when the real Ken Ito was killed by gunfire during the attack at Pearl harbor, and the name change was sanctioned by the 0SS, so no action against him is taken except that a ceremony in his honor goes ahead under his real name, Kenishiro Habanito. He'd met the real Ken Ito at Pearl harbor while working as a laborer and the two of them had become fast friends. They'd been out fishing together when the real Ken Ito was blasted by a Japanese fighter and killed, falling off their fishing boat. The remains had been washed ashore into a cave years earlier, and were mummified there; the body is identified by DNA analysis. In the process of the investigation it's discovered that Ken is being blackmailed, and that this man has stolen files from a Naval records library nearby. The agents apprehend this man and it is he who first makes the allegation that Kenishiro was a Japanese spy, which old 0SS records later disprove. Kenishiro is not charged with any crime because the name change was sanctioned by the 0SS when he was returned to the Navy after his mission. The ceremony honoring him proceeds as planned except that he's honored under his real name, Kenishiro Habanito. The episode honors the men and women who were killed at Pearl harbour regardless of race, color or nationally.
