When the team arrives, Ducky declares her cause of death to be strangulation.
Hes starting to get warmed up when the sheriff arrives on scene.
As you’ve got the option to imagine, this generates great curmudgeonliness from Gibbs.
Is anyone ever not excited to see Senior?
Palmer sighs, I liked it better when he called me Jimmy.
Oh, my sweet, precious puppy!
Gibbs and Bishop visit theTallahassee, where they find the Sherlocks already on board.
Lyle asks if McGees familiar with the internet, and McGee deadpans, Ive heard of it.
Then Senior asks for Gibbs blessing to pursue Judith, Gibbs ex-lover.
That woman turns me into molten lava, Senior smolders.
Just as theyre wondering if he has a sister, they kiss.
So thats a no, then.
They pull the couple in for questioning.
Neonatal nurse Darlene Jones is shocked SHOCKED that her sweet, perfect fiance is actually married.
In a separate room, Mike is horrified that NCIS told Darlene that hes married.
Sure, hes devastated that Mayas dead, but Darlenes hissoulmate.
Quinn suggests that Mayas death actually solves some problems for Mike.
NEXT: Come on.
Its always the husband.
He landed 30 minutes after his wife was killed, based on the time she ordered her pizza.
Conveniently, Taj is with the Sherlocks trying to reassemble the house alarm.
Of course, Taj turns the weapon on Lyle and escapes upstairs.
Aww, good for them!
Taj, meanwhile, leaps from the second-floor balcony but is stopped by Bishop and her gun.
His proof is the insanely gaudy $200 belt he stole at the time.
Quinn declares it the ugliest alibi Ive ever seen.
But hey, he didnt murder anyone!
Also, Darlene was definitely at work in the hospital, which just leaves Mike.
You guys, its always the husband!
Gibbs has to prove it.
He gets in Mikes face and promises to figure out how he was in two places at once.
With Mike running out of time, he chose the murder option.
Mike tells Gibbs to go to hell.
Ill save you a seat, is Gibbs unruffled reply.
Gibbs doesnotplay around with wife killers.
Hed switch labels in the only place with no security cameras: the bathroom.
Thats the breakthrough Gibbs needs.
They switched places, Gibbs realizes.
So Mikes back in interrogation, where Bishop and Gibbs spin the story.
Thats… actually kind of brilliant.
All I wanted was Darlene and our new baby, he whimpers.
Of course, its Lyle in the camo.
Ya burnt, Mike.
And we close with DiNozzo becoming a full-fledged Sherlock.
No one deserves it more, Gibbs tells him.
And isnt it lovely to see Senior in a such a happy place?
