There are no cheerleaders in the navy, right? That’s why the “murder” at the beginning of this episode looks a little misleading. Instead of a violent crime, what we’re actually witnessing is the filming of a low-budget slasher film, a film that becomes a little too real when the actress playing the cheerleader falls into a half buried tomb and meets her newest coworker – a skeleton with multiple stab wounds, no middle fingers, and a naval uniform.

Gibbs like for instance CSI's Grissom is one of those people which you can't imagine as a child. Never the less we all know that he has a family and that he grew up somewhere obviously. And Tony, Ziva, Abby and McGee have been wondering the same thing. We all know that Gibbs is not the kind of man who tells about his past, he hardly tells anything about himself.

The title promises a lot of good things, I haven't seen it yet but the 'agent afloat' in question can only be one person. Tony the last member who hasn't returned to the team. I am still hoping for that power struggle between Gibbs and Vance, I want to see the glaring contest which I had expected to see last week.
