What do you do?What do you do?
If youre Timothy McGee, you hem and haw and eventually do (mostly) the right thing.
So yeah, McGee comes home to find two men ransacking his apartment.

He shoots and kills one, and the other escapes.
Hes dismayed to find his lovely new place, a.k.a.
Whos a licensed furrier anymore, anyway?
Was that still a thing 15 years ago?
Quinn asks, speaking for us all.
Turns out, he was using furrier-ing as a cover for his smuggling business.
Abbys able to match fingerprints from the scene to Walter Shibberd, whos got a burglary rap sheet.
Walter only grabbed the hard drive because it looked valuable.
So thats one dead end, but they now need to link Louis to McGees electric carving knife murderer.
Quinn suggests leaving that part out if/when he tells Delilah.
She then says that every family has secrets.Cue intense, mysterious look.
At this point, Paul arrives and cheerfully introduces himself.
McGee says Louis broke into Pauls old apartment, and the current occupant shot and killed him.
Paul immediately pegs McGee as that occupant and refuses to tell them what Louis was looking for.
Then he starts messing with McGee: Hey, are my bookshelves still there?
I put those in myself.
Its almost like were roommates, isnt it?
(Again, understandable.)
Then to Quinn: A beauty like you, you deserve chinchilla.
Paul maintains that he never told Louis where he lived and calls it a coincidence.
Rule 39, Quinn murmurs to McGee.
When McGee and Quinn arrive, the only place left to look is under the bed.
The team teases McGee about what he might be hiding under there (dirty!
Okay, two things.
First, the under-bed area isimmaculate.I dont see a single dust bunny, let alone a stray sock.
Who are these people?
Second, HIS DADS ASHES?
They pry up the boards to discover a body.
Suddenly your dads ashes dont seem so bad, Quinn offers.
McGees too shocked to speak, and this time when Delilah calls, he lets it go to voicemail.
(So, so understandable.)
This is really happening, right?
Theres a dead body in my bedroom?
McGee then asks his friends.
They reluctantly concur, and Torres says he definitely needs to keep this from Delilah.
Hell, nobody should know.
Yes,theLogan Pruitt, who disappeared 15 years ago and is the most notorious missing criminal since D.B.
This suspicion is strengthened when Abby finds a key in Pruitts stomach.
Shes on board for him to run for Congress, but hes tentative.
Still, he eats up the attention of another congressman at a see-and-be-seen power lunch spot.
Then he takes in Gibbs and declares that silver fox is too obvious.
Id put you in mid-length coyote.
Guys, this game of his is theworst ice breaker ever.
Gibbs says no way, and back at HQ, Vance backs him up on it.
This displeases Jenna, who wants them to play politics to solve the diamond heist.
So in go Quinn and Torres to crack the vault.
Between that bling and Quinns shocked face, that videos going viral.
McGee makes one more visit to Paul, asking if his apartment holds any more secrets.
Pauls squirrelly about it before finally telling him Youre good.
Ugh, I hate him.
And at the same time, what agreatbad guy.
This fight happened really quickly over very little and feels a bit manufactured.
DidNCISnot want to pay Mary Stuart Mastersons guest star salary anymore?
He swears his coworkers to secrecy, and they agree to it.
