Wow, the whole episode long it felt as if I was watching the NCIS fic "Andy" by Xanthe filmed. In places I thought, "Hey! I already know that from the fic!" Xanthe must be a psychic of some sort, let me tell you.
Also, I know that many people intensely dislike the exec Shane Brennan - I don't know why exactly but whatever - but the man sure knows what the show is about: family. The team is family. They know each other's strengths and weaknesses and they protect their own.
I loved the scene where Gibbs told DiNozzo Sr. that four years ago, Tony had almost died. And when Gibbs said that he knew that Tony hid behind the mask of a clown and that he was his best agent, my heart melted.
And the talk about the rules. And then the last scene - OMG, the last scene!
And Joe Lando!!!
Loved it!
