A woman from a delivery service delivers a huge box to a navy facility. The guards ask her if she went through all of the security channels which she denies, she says that she only had to deliver the package. The two guards are still suspicious but they help her to unload the box. The guards open the box and find a body conserved in dry ice.

A woman from a delivery service delivers a huge box to a navy facility. The guards ask her if she went through all of the security channels which she denies, she says that she only had to deliver the package. The two guards are still suspicious but they help her to unload the box. The guards open the box and find a body conserved in dry ice.
The NCIS team is called in to investigate something which the guards certainly don’t like, they try to avoid any question asked by any of the team members which Tony only uses to joke around with. Ducky arrives on the scene and when the box is opened he turns around and says to Gibbs that the scene reminds him of Gibraltar. Usually Ducky loves to elaborate, this time however he doesn’t tell anything.
Tony annoys one of the security guards with tons of movie metaphors and follows him around as he walks up to the door which is closed by a numbered code. He snaps pictures of the buttons pushed by the guard and tells him that he was snapping pictures of a building flaw when the guard looks at him questioningly.
Ducky tells Gibbs to pack up the body that there is nothing more he can do and as soon as they entered the scene they are leaving with two NCIS vans and a unmarked van. The NCIS vans leave as planned, however the unmarked van stops nearby and Tim gets out and moves into the back the control center of their mission. Gibbs is with him as well.
There is a time jump in which you see what happens three days previously to the discovery of the body.
Gibbs is informed by Vance that there is a base which is top secret and that he wants Gibbs’ team to break in to see if the main hub of the building really is as secure as the Navy thinks. Gibbs tells his team what they are supposed to do, they have to figure out a way to get into the building without attracting suspicion from the guards. Basically break in, steal the information and get out in one piece.
They make one mistake however, they ask Agent Lee for an opinion. Of course they use metaphors and avoid saying what their target is but still she knows something. Gibbs tells the team to take a body from Ducky’s morgue to pull off this mission no one is supposed to know that his team is trying to break into the tightly secured base. Because a body at a navy facility would involve NCIS in the investigation.
Then we jump back to the present day, McGee loops the video surveillance and tells Ziva and Tony who are outside of the building. With the help of McGee and Gibbs they enter the building, but soon the alarm goes off. Tony and Ziva are caught, Tony goes down fairly easy. Ziva however has to be stopped by 4 men. When she wakes up a wealthy man sits in front of her obviously taunting her. Ziva however seems more worried about Tony’s whereabouts. The man tells her that Tony is alright, when the door opens one of the guards tells him that Director Vance has just arrived. The man leaves the room to meet with Director Vance and Tony steps inside to release Ziva from her shackles.
Vance meets the man who turns out to be the Secretary of the Navy or in other words, SecNav. Not only did Gibbs’ team know about the supposed break in … the guards knew too.
Abby is acting suspiciously as well, not only is her door to the lab closed. But she also darkens each computer screen before she opens the door to let McGee inside. And when Ducky’s assistant Jimmy tries to get inside so that he can hide for Ducky’s wrath over loosing a body she physically pushes him out of her lab.
McGee is told by Gibbs to head back to NCIS, when he tells Abby about what happened he is convinced that she was hiding something. It is obvious that Abby is not good at hiding a secret.
Ziva and Tony meet in the elevator fighting about what went wrong on the mission. The fact that they are being used and the fact that they are being lied to by Vance and Gibbs. Ziva tells him that if he had any kind of military training he would have learned to take an order without asking why. Tony asks her what she would call breaching the no one gets hurt order when she threw the first punch. She says it was a reflex due to her training.
Tony storms into the morgue after his argument with Ziva and tells Ducky that he is sorry for not telling him that they took a body from the morgue. And for not including Ducky in their mission. Then he starts lavishing to Gibbs how he feels betrayed. Gibbs tells him that they are not following orders from SecNav or anyone else but that the plan came from Gibbs. That he is the mastermind behind the whole mission.
Gibbs makes it clear to him that he is aware that the mole is Lee, he said that he is not at all worried about her that she is already caught but that she just doesn´t know it yet. He wants to find out who inside NCIS might be involved as well.
Then Vance gives the order to get security, he lets everyone pick up by security. The team including Ducky, Jimmy, Abby and Agent Lee. Turns out that the console in the main room of the building was spiked with radio active material. Every ones hands are checked with a Geiger counter, but not Agent Lee but Abby is pointed out as the traitor.
Vance takes her into custody, however he allows McGee to talk with her. Abby refuses to say anything. McGee worries about her especially with her suspicious acting of the last couple of days. Vance on his turn asks Agent Lee for legal advice.
Lee tells him that she has to go outside to seek the legal advice outside NCIS. He grants her to leave the building even though they are still on lock down. Abby at the same time tells McGee that she has been in on it all the time, that Gibbs asked her to help them and that she was supposed to pointed out as the suspect.
When Agent Lee leaves the NCIS building she leaves a mark for someone at a paper box outside. The team pick her up and Gibbs interrogates her. Agent Lee shows him a picture of a little girl. Her daughter, she says that she had her when she was still in high school and that her parents raised the little girl as their own daughter. She says that someone took her and that they will kill her if she does anything that they don´t like.
Vance tells Gibbs that this story might be just that, that it is a story to get pity. Especially from Gibbs since it involves a girl the same age as Gibbs daughter. The team talks about what has happened and are all convinced that Agent Lee will never get outside of the building again. That is until she walks down the stairs and wishes them all a good night.. She goes to her car and gets inside, Gibbs is in the back of the car.
I said it last week, this would be a good episode and it was. It was really really good, maybe even one of the best ever. It was an awesome episode now I am just curious to see if this is the truth or if this is just another twist in the story involving Agent Lee.
We´ll see …
