A DB bleeds from a car in a scrapyard. Ziva (Cote de Pablo) goes over the First Amendment. Tony (Michael Weatherly) is on his computer, as usual, sometimes you think he spends more time on there than McGee (Sean Murray) does. Tony reminds her this Amendment includes his freedom of speech. Ziva; "Clearly they did not have Tony in mind when writing that." Well they didn't have a lot of people in mind when writing. Tony is on the website and is 'Nexted'. (Something similar in CSI:NY season 7.2 episode was also done.) Ziva comments Tony keeps getting 'nexted'. Tony says it only takes 10 seconds. One girl online says he's old, 'like 40'. Which he is, (but over 40 in real life, ha. Yeah it's like we're not all going to get to 40.) Tony puts on a Graucho Marx mask, well many people won't even know who that is, Tony, talk about showing your age! Ha.
Tony: "Hi boss, not what it looks like. Just out of curiosity, what does it look like?" Gibbs (Mark Harmon) has no answer for that. Gibbs: "Grab your gear and a little self-respect DiNozzo!" Marine Corporal Ray Collins was found in the scrapyard. Ducky (David McCallum) "Discarded like trash in an old junkyard." Feet are missing too. He was court martialled. Tony comments on the Ducati motorbike and McGee says he can't afford them. Abby (Pauley Perrette) says Vance (Rocky Carroll) wants to see her and if her "Gibbsometer" is working, then Gibbs should walk in right now. Abby is flustered. The DB had tissue under his fingernails but there's no DNA match. Gibbs thinks the killer isn't in the military, "rules out Director Vance."
Abby is worried about seeing Vance means a bad omen, "it does not bode well for my future." Gibbs says he has her back, "always have, always will." So I ask, who's got Gibbs' back here, Abby? Abby was also right about her omen. Abby: "What the biohazardous material is this?" When Gibbs gives her the mini Caf Pow. We didn't see Gibbs coming in it the Caf Pow, where did he hide that? Though it was small enough. Ducky mentions a Persian proverb about having no shoes, then met someone who had no feet. Palmer (Brian Dietzen) does a Fred Flintstone impression. Ducky: "Yabba Dabba Do." COD: he bled to death, he wasn't conscious when his feet were cut. They were sawn off and Ducky notices a welt on the side of his neck with '666.' (Going back to Abby's omen.)
Vance is sending Abby to Mexico with McGee to accompany her cos he never goes anywhere, aside from LA and Mexico isn't really a good place for him. Alejandro (Marco Sanchez) wants her to speak at a Law Enforcement Symposium. Abby: "As long as it's not McGee, he's been acting all squirrely, when Alejandro tried to undress me with his eyes." Tony and Ziva go to the address found from the GPS on the Vic's watch, a truck and find it full of feet. Tony's 'charming' was funny.
Benito Juarez, Mexico: This house features a lot, ranging from JAG to Charlie's Angel's. McGee comments that Monte Zuma got his revenge on him last time he was in Mexico. Abby says he should stick to bottled water. McGee gets a text from Tony telling him they're on the hunt for a serial killer, when McGee isn't there, not what he wants to hear. Alejandro has cold cases for Abby to look through and conveniently, used loosely, one comes up in relation to Gibbs. Alejandro calls McGee Agent Magoo, hey that's Tony's name for him., well one of his names. The cold case is all about drugs and the escalating drug wars.
Tony: "I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say serial killer." "Can I give you a hand," these are terrible jokes. Ducky finds they were all unconscious when dismembered. Ziva says sulphuric acid is strong enough to destroy bone. They have the killer's trophies so probably will kill again. Tony calls Palmer the 'autopsy Gremlin' again. The killer is targetting bikers judging from the tattoos. McGee now eats the local yogurt which Abby tells him is unpasteurized. McGee asking if that's bad, er, he's a geek, he should know. Geek used in the nicest way possible.
Abby always wanted to be a teacher. One woman, Natalia ( Stephaane Escajeda) asks her, after they stare at Abby's sense of dress, "who told you the Day of the Dead was in May?" Natalia, Abby replies, is ovulating. Tony and Ziva hit the biker bar. This one's mainly full of women and Tony doesn't get any response. The barkeep, Velver Road (Claudia Black) (suspiciously my suspect) tells them to leave. Cos she was trying to be helpful in the CSI:Miami way, i.e. when they're too helpful, they're guilty and have plenty to hide. Besides she was actually the only suspect. She says the Corporal was sleeping with everyone.
Abby takes the class out on a field trip and is met by a woman from the drug cartel. She, Paloma Reynosa (Jacqueline Obradors) talks about Pedro Hernandez, who was shot and killed 20 years ago. The fracture pattern on his skull shows the bullet was travelling at high velocity so the police report was wrong. McGee says a long range weapon was used. of course we all know who uses those, or used to use those. As said, all roads lead to Gibbs here. She gives Abby the bullet which she wore as a necklace. McGee offers to be held in their place. This is Reynosa Cartel family business. Abby tells her he wasn't shot point blank. Paloma says he was killed by a sniper on the ridge and the sniper left behind a message in the form of the bullet. She likes Abby's shoes.
Ducky and Palmer talk about toe cheese, oh please. Ducky regrets not having a window. Er, but they've been in the truck for several days though. The feet have been salted which retards bacterial growth but not insect activity. The first one was cut about 2 months ago. All the Vics were already dead and were poisoned. Gibbs knows serial killers do not change their MO. Abby has a bad feeling about the cold case. McGee has a bad feeling about the bed. They remind us they shared a coffin together. Abby mentions Ziva taking the couch in Paris (episode 7.11 Jet Lag). McGee tells her Tony said he took the couch in Paris and they look at each other. They've told them different stories, to get our goat and to begin yet more rumours about Tony and Ziva. McGee brushes his teeth and uses the tap water. Abby's developing her own gut, like Gibbs. McGee's put on a few pounds. He was joking.
Tony tries on a gas mask in front of the computer webcam, he can't get past 10 seconds before being 'nexted.' Telling Ziva he's earned his pay. Ziva threatens to tell Gibbs. Gibbs: "Gibbs is gonna find out anyway." Tony says Ray is the serial killer. Ziva has a photo of an illegal right turn from the truck and he started killing when he returned here. Abby finds a clipping with the news of Gibbs' family being killed. Pedro's DB has been exhumed and sent to Ducky. Lapua is a fave bullet of snipers, as we know going back all the way to season 1 and the season 2 finale when Kate (Sasha Alexander) was killed by Ari.
Vance approved Abby going to Mexico but the request came from Alejandro. Probably cos Allison (Mallision) was behind it. Well her or Paloma. At least Allison is meant to be our chief instigator cos she was here for Bell, then she was insistent that Alejandro should meet with Abby. Tony: "Ola McTaco" and asks if he brought anything back for him. How about some unpasteurized yogurt. Tony tells McGee about the killer's antics on purpose cos he knows McGee isn't well.
Ducky mentions Pedro Hernandez and Gibbs drowns out Palmer's voice. Flash to Gibbs shooting Pedro. Ducky concludes Ray committed the murders but he doesn't know what his motivation was. Gibbs signs for the bullet for Abby and acts remarkably suspicious in the process. Also the looks that pass between Abby and Gibbs. The poison used on the men was snake venom neurotoxin, from the sand viper found in Afghanistan. The killer was targetting drug dealers. Drug cartels cut off the feet of drug dealers. Tony is glad McGee is back cos it's nice to talk to someone for more than 10 seconds, but Ziva was still around. McGee was getting his revenge on Tony for making him fall in love with a non-existent woman when Tony faked his profile on the Net. So he set his browser to stay for 10 seconds before he's 'next ed'. Yes but I think Tony would have been next ed irrespective of this.
Velvet killed Ray. The '666' impression on his neck was from her ring. So his DNA must still be on her ring. They have her DNA from his fingernails. She's immune from the poison and he tried to kill her, she claims it was an accident. She made him look like a Vic and was hired by the Reynosa drug cartel. Abby's in Gibbs' basement this time and there's no boat, he's not building anymore. He knows why she's here. She matched the bullet from Pedro's head to Gibbs' sniper rifle and he killed him in cold blood. "Gibbs doesn't do things like that - now I don't know." Abby didn't find this out by accident and he quotes Rule 40: "if someone's out to get you, they are." Abby wants vilification from him. Gibbs can't reply that she's wrong. Abby wants him to tell her how she's a daughter to him and he loves her. She needs to know he'll love her no matter what.
Well there had to be a closure to this story sometime since it was on going from season 3 finale, with the flashbacks. Seems it took Allison to bring it to the furore and for Gibbs and Abby's friendship to be tested and maybe altered. Will the others find out. It's obvious Alejandro is also involved, insisting on Abby coming to Mexico and handing her that particular cold case.
Tony finally gets a Gibbs slap, haven't seen that in a while. Also Tony's line to Ziva: "You wouldn't understand - being irritating is second nature to you." That can be said of Tony too, ha.
