I give this episode a "win"
It was the NCIS that I know and love.
Although, it wasn't a perfect episode, and I could point out a few flaws; I just don't want to.
I want to sit back and enjoy this good episode (something I wasn't able to do the last 1/3 of season 8.)
Makes me optimistic for season 9.
A special thanks to the lovely ladies of TN that allowed me to "experience" this episode with them - it was fun ladies.
