Major EventsEdit

  • Abby begins using rollarblades to help her get around NCIS much faster but presumably stops using them for good after accidentally bumping into Gibbs in the lab.

TriviaEdit

  • When DiNozzo quotes Al Pacino's appearance in Sea of Love he incorrectly states that the character portrayed by Ellen Barkin named Helen Cruger is the serial killer in the movie. It's actually Helen's ex-husband Terry played by Michael Rooker.
