"Gibbs was definitely suspicious of Lee, and she looked totally scared. I'm thinking she's more scared of gibbs than she is the director...i would be too.

It was also interesting how Gibbs equated himself to Tony and Vace to McGee, and I have to say that on some level I agree---Maybe Vance used to be like McGee, until he figured out how to make people respect him more...and use the fact that people underestimate him to his advantage. However, Vance tends to go behind people's back, and I don't really see McGee doing that.

That being said, I still don't know what to think of Vance, I want to distrust him...but for some reason I can't.."

"It could be that he wanted Tony to learn to be on his own and not have Gibbs to fall back on...Something like that I could see...Im with those who think Vance is not a bad guy...I think he has his skeletons (shredded letter) but I dont think it will be anything that will get rid of him this season or anytime after that...I think he will be around for quite a while..."

"i know! the preview for next week looked AWESOME! and arresting Abby?????? I am counting the days til next week!

and...i liked the tie-in to today being veterans' day and the "in the line of duty" wall in the bar at the end of today's. very cool, ncis writers!"

"So...were there any Tiva moments? (I think it's sad that I ask that, but yeah.)"

"I loved it - there was something about Gibbs that reminded me of him prior to Season 5; no doubt Margy will be able to tell me what it was. I don't know why but I liked this one best so far, even more so than Heartland and I thought that would be the best one of the season."

"I'll let you know next week. But I am guessing it was the sense of insecurity like he displayed after Kate was killed by Ari?"

"Honestly don't know Margy, i don't think it was the insecurity thing although it was there. I just felt his humour was more familiar to me than it has been in quite a while. Hmm, humour isn't the right word....you remember the smile (that very nearly wasn't) at Abby in the don't call me Sir/ yes Ma'am scene? Well I got that sort of feeling again at a couple of points. Then there was the bit when he said it's not a robbery; It just felt like Gibbs prior to season 5 was back although I really can't say what the difference is. Can't explain it but some part of Gibbs seemed to change in season 5 (for me at least although I can't identify what changed) and then it felt as though it was working back to what it should be like in this episode. Hard to tie down and I'm doing a terrible job at explaining what I mean so I'm just going to stop now and wait and see what you think. "
