Something like that, Quinn breezes. Although Palmer doesnt cotton to Quinn breaking the rules about onboard fraternization, hes not surprised. She is a very handsome woman.

Hes Gollum, basically, leading McGee to ask, Eleanor Bishop, can you just be my Frodo? She says yes but doesnt do an impression. Sorry, but if somebody asks you to be Frodo, your job is to immediately respond, Sam!...

An MI6 agent tracking weapon smugglers disappears, also in Philly. The audience is completely unsurprised when these two things are connected. Good to see you again! Credit: Robert Voets/CBS Bishop isnt able to get Quinn to spill about her antipathy toward Philly. Bish guesses its a New-York-sports thing. Their interview with Falcos mother is horribly sad. Or at least you think you could, she says. Thats legitimately heartbreaking, guys. Before they leave, Quinn asks the woman if she knows the Shaw family a few blocks over....

It sure seems like it. Oh man, Abby is the worst kind of knitting gift-giver. You hand over the item, and what happens next is out of your control. Credit: Bill Inoshita/CBS Guilt is a terrible gift, Abbs. And then the teams called to a crime scene. Her fingerprints are found in the basement, but shes not there anymore. A burner phone in the basement leads to a territorial pissing match with Metro P....

Okay, fine, notthatDiNozzo. (You remember Tonys apartment, right? Scene of abloody murder?) Credit: Bill Inoshita/CBS They immediately turn on each other over whos the most deserving. In the locked owners office, they find a gun under a bloody towel. Naturally, theyve all had Gibbs dreams. (Bishop: no gear to grab. McGee: eating a raw steak because Gibbs served it to him.) But no, this is different. Quinn had asexyGibbs dream....

A Navy chaplain’s murder leads the team to unravel a conspiracy at Guantanamo Bay Happy Thanksgiving,NCISfamily! The giant turkey in the sky brought you a Bishop episode tonight! First, can we all agree Bishops overprotective siblings are nightmares? Credit: Monty Brinton/CBS But its just three dummies who decided to surprise her for Thanksgiving. For the record, I did send you a text, one of them says. You sent me three frownie-face emojis....

Said rodent corpse comes with a note: FLEMMING YOURE NEXT. In the big orange room, the team spitballs about who might want Flemming dead. The list isnt short, given her past votes and committee work. Credit: Michael Yarish/CBS One early lead is an anonymous message-board poster who called Flemming a gutless rat. She tells Vance her job is far more difficult than his and requires personal sacrifice. Vance somehow lets this pass without shrieking YOU DONT KNOW MY LIFE....

Will McGee survive to go home and begin a family life with his pregnant wife Delilah? Tim has a lot more responsibility that he has to think about. That plays in to the finale. Credit: Michael Yarish/CBS Does that fear drive him to step off the helicopter?Yeah, I think it does. He reaches a moment where he makes that decision because he is first and foremost an agent. Thats a decision that he makes....

At first she declines, not wanting to see just how dark she can get. (Bishop, meanwhile, swoons at the thought of being asked to join the think tank. Whats more exciting than a terror attack? Credit: Cliff Lipson/CBS she asks, causing Quinn to drily reply, We really should have a talk.) Of course, none of the materials in the drill are active or so Abby thinks. As she puts her last balloons into the air vent, the police apprehend her....

And as a bonus, we learn Quinns big (sad) family secret. Any bets on whos the best shot and whos the most competitive? I say Gibbs and Torres, in that order. Credit: Sonja Flemming/CBS Gibbs tells him to mind his bidness. But we know where she was: racing to her mothers house after receiving a 911 emergency text. At Chases office, McGee tells him to just pay the $500 ransom, which seems incredibly cheap....

We open on Navy Cmdr. (This is why I dont jog.) The image on the screen flips to show a cute little girl on a playground. Credit: Trae Patton/CBS Kill yourself, or we kill your daughter. Thats… unusually awful, even forNCIS. In the big orange room, Torres is giving pickpocket lessons to Quinn and Bishop. He lifts McGees wallet and finds a two-for-one Golden Corral coupon and a business card for a sword swallower....

There’s no horsing around as the team attempts to stamp out a bushmeat smuggling ring. TonightsNCIStook us on quite a gallop, didnt it? We open at Rock Creek Park, where mounted police officer Sgt.

Tanner was killed at night when the park was closed, and only his phone is missing....

Hicks swears he was framed during the joint NCIS/FBI investigation. The best witness, a woman selling fruit near the bank, was never found. (Ducky was out of town during the initial autopsy, which was handled by a city ME.) Credit: Bill Inoshita/CBS You guessed it; he’s a righty. A familiar face worked the case for the FBI 11 years ago: Fornell! When Torres and McGee examine the original murder scene, they discover new evidence....
