• Abby : I think I showed him everything. Anthony DiNozzo Sr : Well, not everything.
• Gibbs' glare: when DiNozzo, Sr. says the above-mentioned-line to Abby!
• Tony after being asked to spell his last name (again) on the phone: "Big D as in dimwit, little i as in idiot, big N as in nimrod, little o as in obtuse, double z as in ZZ Top..."
  
• DiNozzo Sr talking to Ziva and comments on wearing her hair down. She tries to reply then sees Tony.
  
• DiNozzo Sr complimenting whoever hired the NCIS ladies. Definitely a ladies' man! You can tell where Tony gets his ways.
  
• Tony in a yoga stance with a cowboy hat on and notices Gibbs and Ziva arrived.
• Gibbs smacks Tony - repeatedly - with the hat and is mad at him
• Ziva and Gibbs conversation as they're first entering the hotel.
• McGee's expression and his not telling Tony who was waiting to see him.
• Abby not skipping a beat asking about DiNozzo Sr whilst explaining her find to Gibbs.
• Abby wants to know if the DiNozzo's share the same humor!
• Abby in observation when Sr. was in interrogation because she wants to see what he looked like.
• Ziva's hair is down the next time she sees Sr. and he compliments it.
• Like father, like son! The only difference aside from age is that Sr. doesn't get yelled at nor headslapped!
• Ziva calling Prince Sayif chauvinist and that Gibbs would have to hire someone to protect him against her.
• Abby and Tim showing each other their finds in her lab.
• Sr. asks Jr. what happened to Sayif, Jr. says " I can't Talk about it." one look from Sr. and Tony says "car bomb".

• Father and son talk for the first time in years.
• Tony apparently didn't even tell his father when he nearly died from the mnemonic plague.
  
• Tony was 8 when his mother died.
  
• Junior and Senior try to look eye to eye but there's just too much in the last years between them. They both want to resolve it so I'm sure they will!
• Senior tells Junior "I love you Anthony... I love you."
• The end scene shows just how much Tony is Gibb's son.
• So many talks of homes and families. It struck a chord in the characters' hearts, not just Tony's.
• Tony's dad isn't who Tony expected.
• Gibbs taking Sr to the conference room (the real one, not the elevator) to talk about Tony. Big moment there.
• Gibbs and Ziva's conversation about the amendments when they enter the hotel. Gibbs is becoming more human and his team is able to talk to him about things outside of the job.
• McGee has definitely grown! He is more confident, showing that he is on the same level as the rest of the team, he is able to play his own games and not always be the butt of pranks.
• Tony is growing up! He is unable to call his dad out on the lies so he shoulders the bill and ticket and explains to Gibbs that he's getting too old for Spring Break.
• Tony trusts McGee enough to ask his help to check his father bank's accounts. Their relationship has really grown up .
  
• We learn that Tony's father has been married a lot, so maybe that is why Tony can't get too serious with anyone.
• Gibbs thinks very highly of Tony and knows that he hides behind the face of a clown.
• Gibbs said that Tony is the best young agent he's ever worked with.
• Vance for the first time, steps into autopsy and surprises Ducky.
  

• The 150th Episode
• Continuity Error - We find out that Tony's mother died when he was 8, but in 3.09 Frame-Up he says that his mother dressed him up as a sailor until he was 10. Though in the conversation in 3.09 Frame-Up, Tony is somewhat insane when he says that so was probably more general.
• At the end of the episode we see Tony and Gibbs drinking Dominion beer. Check out their website.
  

• DISCUSSION THREAD
  
  

• 7.13 Jetlag - When the government's star witness in an embezzlement case is targeted by an assassin, it's up to the team to help her make it home alive.
