First, lets talk murder.
The case against Petty Officer Third Class Kyle Friedgen is tossed over warrant problems leading to inadmissible evidence.
So Friedgen and his lawyer meet with Gibbbs and ask NCIS to arrest him for murder.
He enlisted in the Navy and changed his life.
She got into drugs and prostitution.
Meanwhile, Abby traces money found on Vanatters body to Friedgen.
You know, the man who swore he hadnt seen his ex in years.
So Gibbs storms into the interrogation room and slaps Friedgen.
Yasss, fired-up Gibbs!
So Gibbs hisses that Friedgens now going to be charged with murder, NCIS-style.
Now, on to Bishop and that ratfink Jake.
HE IS SKETCHY AND I DONT TRUST HIM.
At least have the decency to pick a new seduction spot, Apollo.
Anyway, Bishop recognizes the woman as Taylor Matthews, whos with NSAs version of internal affairs.
Taxi cam footage shows that Matthews was also in Jakes taxi during the Dubai attack.
Then she learns that Jakes leaving that night for an overnight, need-to-know NSA trip.
You asking me for marital advice?
So Bishop takes the morning off and waits for Jake to come home.
No, its the affair.
He was with Matthews the night before.
This is so hard, Jake moans.
I hate myself for what Ive done.
Looks like Bishop does, too, as she storms out.
However, her tissue samples were full of fancy rich-person heroin.
And suddenly Gibbs wants to give Friedgen the benefit of doubt.
At Baltimore PD, Bishop and DiNozzo review evidence from Vanatters arrest two years ago.
In a not-at-all suspicious move, the evidence box was accessed three weeks ago by ASA Wyner.
NO SIR, NOTHING TO SEE HERE.
Guess we know who the fancy-suited S&M lover is!
Gibbs walks Jake to the elevator and cuts off his attempts at excuses.
Anyway, Gibbs tells him to get his head out of his ass, which about sums it up.
In the end, Friedgen thanks Gibbs for vindicating him.
(Gibbs does not apologize for slapping him, it should be noted).
Gibbs the realist doesnt disagree but urges him to stay in his sons life.
Also, Friedgens foxy lawyer asks Gibbs to breakfast soon.
Its unclear whether shell phone him or nudge him.
Finally, Bishop asks to speak with Gibbs because shes made a decision.
Shes not sure when shell be back, and she asks him not to contact her.
Themusic does the heavy liftingin this scene, TBH.
