SYNOPSIS
When Ziva accidentally witnesses a political assassination, she must surrender to the FBI and deal with the consequences without Gibbs' help, who is now enjoying his retirement. She learns that the FBI is looking for her and escapes, while the NCIS team, lead by Tony, must prove that Ziva is innocent. However, when things get more complicated, Ziva seeks help from the one person that always trusted her, Gibbs.

DEVELOPMENT/INSIGHTS

  • In this episode, we discover more of the bond between Ziva and Gibbs. The two are indebted to each other and owe each other their lives. Ziva shows her trust in Gibbs by asking him to save her. We also see a difference in the interaction between Abby and Ziva. Whereas the two shared mostly animosity in the previous season, they now appear to be good friends as Abby is the first to volunteer to help Ziva. We also see Tony in a leadership position and a kinder,gentler Gibbs who gives hugs, smiles, and laughs. Tony and Ziva also have an interesting relationship. It is revealed that they have been seeing each other at least once a week since Gibbs left, and they have a tense moment in Gibbs' basement.
  • It should also be noted that this episode reveals that everyone apparently knows that Ari was Ziva's brother, but they don't know she killed him.
  • McGee is the senior field agent and gets call Michelle Lee Probie.

EPISODE TRIVIA

  • The new video phone units used in this episode are actually live feeds. There are camera crews in each of the two sets and the crews shoot the video at the same time. The phone units are OJO video units. You can see more about them at http://www.ojophone.com/homepage.

  • In the scene where Gibbs and Ziva are searching the apartment at the part where Gibbs sees the ventilation shaft and the camera as he walks up to it on the left hand side you can see a camera and a bit of the camera man filming them.

  • 24min15sec: McGee asks "How do we put out a BOLO without the F.B.I. finding out about it?"
    BOLO stands for "
    be on the look out"

Does anyone else think the room in which Ziva's fight takes place in looks a lot like the hotel room from Bloodbath?

Do you notice how, suddenly, everyone and their mother knows that Ari and Ziva were brother and sister in this episode. I mean, Eschel knows and his terrorist homicidal girlfriend knows and Bashan knows and Gibbs knows, and those three should know, but Tony, Abby, and Sacks all know this too. It made for good dialogue in the episode, but I wish there could have been a more dramatic reveal or something.

Maybe they'll do that with the fact that Ziva,not Gibbs, shot Ari.

when ziva was in the fight surely her recording device that was strapped to her waist would have been battered! Maybe not..... maybe a forensic scientist like abby could regain information anyway?.......I dunno ? anyone else got an idea?
