Well, Abby would be good at tying people up, given her personal proclivities.

Mistress Abby, anyone?

Ziva totally owned Dinozzo in this episode. She's really overwhelming his bloated self-worth.

Probie was lucky Jethro reacts faster than he thinks at the end.

Glad to see Abby stretching out from the lab, and practically saves the day with piecing together a plausible simulation for how it all went down.

Abby rocks...every week she is the best reason to turn in to watch this show!

McGee better get a little quicker with the trigger finger to stay on Gibbs' team...

I wonder if Ziva will be the next team member to have her own special episode. This was a good story, but on the heels of Tony's story last week it just seemed to similar in tone.

Abby seems to be saving the day each week now.

Not a lot of talk about this show, which is still going strong.

This was an Abby-centric episode. Someone's trying to kill her, or at least screw her up good as she prepares to give testimony in a trial. Signs point to an old boyfriend who's been stalking her...

They caught the guy at the end. It was a hitman hired by the guy she was testifying against. He got off on the fraud trial but they got him for hiring a hitman. This is the second ep where someone has tried to kill Abby (not counting Ari) and she's kicked both thier asses.

Didn't see last night's episode. I've watched and enjoyed this show since it's
inception, but just not feeling compelled to watch anymore. I still enjoy it
when I do watch, but for some reason I just don't feel like I'll be missing
something if I don't. The cast chemistry on NCIS is one of the best on TV.

Didn't really watch the first couple seasons (and NEVER watched JAG), but now I have this on my schedule.

We were rolling when Jethro and Dinozo found her in the door of the van, posed like an anime chick, steel knuckles in one hand and tazering the hitman with the other, yelling "And don't you dare look up my dress!"

CLASSIC!

One of the best scenes all year.

the black panties scene was nice at probie's place

Here's the plot (since it already aired, didn't see the point of putting a spoiler tag on it):

The NCIS team must protect Ziva when a suspect dies while being in custody, and her tactic might be the reason why the person died. The things become much more dangerous when the suspect's brother kidnapps Jenny, and demands the release of his brother in exchange for Jenny, but he has no idea that his brother is dead. -- From TV.com

Anyone watch this episode? Thought it was pretty good but next week's looks interesting as Gibbs gets . Next week starts a 2-part season finale.

Always a favorite. Abby was a hoot, finally getting to be a crime scene 'cause it's at NCIS headquarters.

2 star trek stars in one episode

Wow, Trip Tucker got a better death scene after one episode of NCIS than in four years of Enterprise.

Amen, brother.

Besides Tucker, who was the other one?

The hotel manager guy who took DeNozo to the parked car was Tuvok on Voyager, the Star Trek show that was about a single Starfleet vessel far away in the middle of nowhere with limited supplies... which allowed them to spend 24/7 on the holodeck in self-indulgent fantasies without a worry in the world and rebuild all 500,000 shuttlecrafts that were destroyed.

Should be an interesting episode... Anyone else watch this show every week?

I watch every week and love it. It's nice to be getting some more backstory on Gibbs.

confirmation that he had a kid
I think it was hinted at before but was never definitive

We have never missed an episode.

Tonight, we were absolutely hurting for all the characters, their love of Jethro is so deep.

Abby was funny. "Haven't you ever heard a girl fart before?"

The Abby/Ziva slapping match.

Tony channeling Gibbs as he leads the investigation.

And it looks like .

Great episode and we'll finally get background on Gibbs.

BTW, in a recent TV Guide issue, wasn't it mentioned that someone might leave? I don't have the issue around anymore (it had Gibbs on the cover).

The Jessica Alba reference really surprised me.
