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?

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.
Unfortunately, her code phrase of Aristotle banana split is met with blank looks.
And theres a good reason for that.
No law enforcement officials were alerted about the drill, and they dont know about the drill code.
Everybodys starting to relax… until one of the bombs actually explodes.
Earls right-hand man).
She defeated the bad guy!
With a lap dance!
she exclaims right back.
I like it, Greta says.
The most logical suspects, of course, are the think tank team.
J.J.s last several movies have tanked, so he couldve had a financial motive for terrorism.
(Also, this interrogation delay caused him to miss a meeting with Johnny Depp.
Or lucky, if you look at Johnnys recent track record.)
And Gretas work with deadly diseases has made her incredibly pessimistic about the survival of the human race.
Oh, and yes, she had access to sarin gas, but so did Earl and Abby.
Quinn hilariously tries to back out of the room until Abby gets it together.
Furthermore, Homeland guy Knox performed a system wipe just after the op.
This is a fireable/indictable offense, so when he realized someone had hacked in remotely, he wiped everything.
Essentially, they now have blueprints on how to attack Americaandhow Homeland would respond.
Someone has our entire terror playbook, Vance murmurs.
Logical Gibbs wants to go back to the beginning to determine why Homeland choose this op and this arena.
So who fabricated the chatter?
As in, the place where Phils parents were murdered?
He stole the sarin, added C4 to the bomb and sarin to the balloons, and killed Earl.
In avenging your parents, you lost another one, Gibbs intones.
A delivery guy comes in with a parcel thats been opened and searched.
The 16-year-old son accepts it and discovers a glass bowl of fruit.
Hes as underwhelmed that it isnt pizza as any of us would be.
Sure enough, theres one tiny bead of sarin gas in the middle one.
Good news for Abby, but unfortunately, the terror drill playbooks still out there.
He and McGee scramble to leave for New Orleans immediately.
NEXT: To the Big Easy!
On the street, Torres weaves among the revelers, tracking his former contact Pisco.
But when he finally reaches the man, Piscos dead from a stab wound to the gut.
Torres attempt to chase the masked killer ends with him being apprehended by local police.
I am telling you, my second impression is so much better than my first, Torres promises.
McGee credits the training he had from his merciless, sometimes downright mean mentors.
(Still miss you, DiNozzo!)
We last saw Eva being taken into custody by Gibbs and shipped off to D.C. on espionage charges.
Its never clear how she escaped, but she did and then hatched this playbook plan.
Real talk: They have better chemistry than Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson do in theFifty Shadessequel.
Eva reveals that the playbook is on a laptop thats password protected by the sound of her voice.
Like, Russian tundra cold.
(Hey, speaking of, when doesThe Americanscome back?)
Guh, I love the reminders that these people are good at their jobs.
Eva kisses her, a lingering kiss, and purrs, Never say never.
From Russia with love, amirite?
