The Good Wives Club
Synopsis:
Gibbs and his team investigate when the mummified body of a woman in a wedding dress is found in a subterranean cell decorated to resemble a 1950s bedroom.

New Character Development / Insights:
  • The introduction of McGee on the team has made Tony very insecure, starting when Gibbs introduces him last. It becomes obvious how much Tony is in need of Gibbs' validation and approval, and despite saying he is worried about McGee taking his place.
  • Tony feels a certain affinity with the killer's nostalgia for a perfect "50's wife, family and home," possibly because his own childhood was less than ideal.
  • There is a feeling that Gibbs wants Tony to grow up, he may be playing a passive aggressive game by giving Tony tasks reserved for probies, or making Tony wait for Ducky rather than being right next to Gibbs. This hints that Gibbs knows Tony has potential, but Tony needs more than a boot in the butt, he needs to want to be better.
  • We learn McGee is a very eclectic person, in addition to being a writer and poet, he regularly reads women's magazines to better understand the opposite sex. [Tony is not amused.]
  • Tony, while usually portrayed as an aloof motor head and skirt chaser, has eclectic interests himself. Such as, a taste for 50's tv shows and memorabilia. This hints towards Tony being deeper than cars, girls, and pizza.
Funny Moments:
  • Tony and McGee in the car, McGee starts bopping his head to the music and Tony changes the station to country music, saying he doesn't like that band. When McGee says "Didn't you have tickets to see them next week?" Tony says he changed his mind and he's selling them on eBay.
  • Tony trying to impress Agent Melankovic although she obviously likes McGee better.
  • Ducky telling the story of a claustrophobic person to Palmer, who is claustrophobic.
  • Kate wanting to make a re-enactment of the room so Gibbs puts her wrist in the shackle.
  • Tony reading the good wives club and Gibbs over the phone knows it.
  • Tony saying the pain is like a beatnik playing bongos.
Trivia:
  • Tony found where the photo album was hidden (at the bottom of an old-fashioned record player) because that was where he used to keep things as a child.
  • In order to profile the scene Kate let Gibbs shackle her as the woman had been so she could mark out the distances and mentally visualize the state of the woman's mind, etc.
  • It turns out Palmer is slightly claustrophobic, and is not helped by Ducky starting one of his infamous 'I remember a time..' tales.
