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.
The team immediately demands details and Quinn obliges.
Is it the one where he knocks on your desk and asks what kind of wood it is?
Quinn is staggered, and Palmer continues, Oh, come on.
Look at the man!
If you havent had the wood dream about Gibbs, you havent lived.
Confession: This is the hardest I have ever laughed atNCISin my life.
NEXT: Never verbalize the ellipsis
Okay, back to the case.
He also found the gun and locked it in the office so no one else could get hurt.
Abby calls Senior the shoe connoisseur to consult on the bloody shoeprintandto butter him up on the apartment front.
When Senior asks Gibbs for an assist on choosing a tenant, Gibbs refuses to play.
2 is an identity thief with a badly written memoir on his laptop.
Youre not supposed to verbalize it!
I tell ya, Jennifer Esposito is a comic gem.
Anyway, Medinas broken compass?
Abby realizes it was depolarized when he leaned over an electric car with rare earth magnets inside.
The only suspect with one of those is the rich gun collector.
As McGee and Quinn make the arrest, she tells him shes moved past her Gibbs weirdness.
He read an ellipsis out loud.
I love everything about this subplot, you guys.
Speaking of fantastic subplots, Senior presses Palmer into service as his impartial name-drawer to pick a tenant.
Palmers nervous about using Duckys hat to draw from.
He pulls Torres name, leading Senior to ask, Who the heck is Torres?
Home is a privilege, and Im not ready for it yet.
NEXT: Grab your tissues
Now, where did Torres get this idea about home?
Ah, lets circle back to the quietly devastating portion of the episode.
Although hes cleared of the murder, Medinas still wanted by Immigration Custom Enforcement for deportation.
After all, Gibbs told them to take their time.
In Ohio, Medina hugs his mother, whos delighted to see him.
My son, the brave Marine, says his proud mother.
Let me feed you before you go.
Despite his initial reluctance to make the trip, Torres agrees to let them all stay.
Hell, I dont even speak Spanish.
What am I gonna do?
This is exactly why I didnt want to turn the car around, he says.
I got to know him.
I looked at his mothers face.
I have friends like him, family like him.
I couldve been him.
And Medina leaves with his fathers compass, which Abby fixed so it once again points north.
(Cubs!!!)
The threat of deportation is real.
