Sub Rosa

Synopsis:
A dead body is found in a barrel of acid on Norfolk Naval Base. A fragment of tattoo, a dolphin tail, points to the dead man being a submariner. When all submariners are accounted for, it becomes apparent there is an impostor on one of the submarines.

New Character Development / Insights:

  • Tony doesn't have total regard for procedure. He has an unorthodox method of gaining entry to a suspect's house. Breaking and entering
  • Ducky played cricket in school.
Funny Moments:

This is not the first time Peter Onorati and Sean Murray were in a show together. They were in the t.v. movie "River of Rage: The Taking of Maggie Keene". Sean was the step-son, Matthew and Peter was the bad guy, Kim. I know I shouldn't believe in coincidences, but this is weird. lol

I just rewatched this episode yesterday after a long time and I must say, it was brilliant. The humour in it was absolutely spot on, especially Gibbs' crack after Kate exclaims "Wow!" I was chuckling for hours afterwards.

Now that is tv that I want to watch forever. Keep it coming NCIS. I love it!
