Heart Break

Synopsis:
A Navy Commander dies after a successful surgery. While researching the commander's past, the team finds out that he earned a lot of enemies lately and tracks down a ensign, making him the prime suspect. Soon Abby realizes that they've got the wrong man.

New Character Development / Insights:
  • Ducky says that he talks to the bodyies because what they do (autopsy) is very invasive and impersonal, it helps him to establish a relationship.
  • Abby did her master's degree thesis on spontaneous human combustion.
  • Tony had thought about becoming a doctor. Specifically a dermatologist, good hours, good pay and "no one ever dies from a zit."
  • McGee had a terrible case of acne as a kid
  • Ducky used to resent being called “Ducky” in his youth, but now quite likes it
  • Tony doesn’t smoke. "Don’t try this at home, McGee, it's for grownups." Lights up and starts hacking.
  • On his date Ducky takes her to the Smithsonian, the place that expresses who he is, and shows her the artifacts from Lincoln's autopsy.
Funny Moments:
  • The look Gibbs gives McGee when he suggests spontaneous human combustion.
  • Abby freaking Palmer out by pretending to be the corpse talking.
  • Kate in surprise: Is that Dornan’s surgeon with Ducky? Gibbs: Ducky’s older, Kate, he’s not dead.
  • Kate’s look when the hotel clerk suggests they get a warrant.
  • Tony playing drums on all of Abby’s equipment until he hits a button and there is some beeping, Abby is not pleased.
  • Tony and Abby’s congratulatory high-five after his cigarette demonstration.
  • Kate's ringtone is a familiar tune.
  • Gibbs saying to Dr. Byers: "Doctor Mallard is a man of few words."
  • Ducky's reply when Abby asks him why she can't have a man like him: " When this doesn't work out I am available."
  • Ducky bumping into Gibbs when doing his dance and casually raking his hands through his hair as if nothing happened.
  • Tony and Abby mirroring each other before Gibbs walks in.
Trivia:
  • Stacy Edwards, who plays Commander Janice Byers in this episode, was on "Chicago Hope", a famous drama show starring Mark Harmon.
  • The hotel room where the team finds the teenagers at about halfway through the episode looks really similar to the room used for "Under Covers" (3x08) episode. It is almost certainly the same room with a few items moved around make it less recognizable.
