Gibbs was already sad at the prospect of losing another friend although he tried not to show it , which made the news that Emily had overdosed both unexpected and heartbreaking.
And if you ask me, Season 18 went too far in delivering this tragedy at this point. It's impossible to watch NCIS without accounting for some tragedies to happen, as this show can't be nothing but fish shenanigans and playing with electric staplers, but Emily's death comes after Jack departed, and that came after Palmer lost his wife to COVID. Before that, Gibbs shot McGee multiple times and could have killed him , while Bishop was lucky to avoid being blown up in an exploding plane. Even what could have been a bright spot in the darkness in the form of romance between Bishop and Torres isn't exactly generating a lot of light without squinting.
Even though Jack did get to leave without being killed off and with the door open for Maria Bello to potentially return someday , the death of Emily Fornell felt like just another blow after a series of losses, and I for one could have used an episode that actually wasn't much more than fish shenanigans and food truck feuds centered on corn on the cob.
As much as Emily wasn't exactly a major character on NCIS , her struggles with addiction have been covered over the years of the show, and it seemed like she had finally beaten it. Plus, her dad was happy, their relationship seemed to be going well, and there was every reason to be optimistic about their future. Later in the season Abby was all set to call things off with her new hunk when the rest of the team convinced her to give him another shot and leave her dating rules out of it.
There was a big literally guest star. And even he was intimidated by Leroy Jethro Gibbs. We met a young Ducky. NCIS has always delivered with the backstory of our favorite characters, and this season we got to jump back in time to meet the young version of Donald "Ducky" Mallard. What may have surprised a few fans was the fact that he turned out to be a crazy-handsome fox. Bishop revealed her wild side for Halloween. After receiving numerous jabs from DiNozzo and McGee while preparing her Halloween costume, Bishop surprised everyone by knocking it out of the park as Sandy from "Grease".
Tony's old partner, Zoe Keates, came into the picture. The two crossed paths this season and had a lot to catch up on. We met the most evil little girl ever.
For almost a whole episode, Gibbs and the NCIS team were looking for the killer of this adorable little girl's mom. And then it turned out to be the adorable little girl that did it. It was disturbing to say the least. Very disturbing. Bishop confronted Gibbs about taking it easy on her. When Bishop received a high score on her combat evaluation, she told the rest of the team and found out how low their scores were when they went through the test. She then confronted Gibbs and, after having a heart-to-heart about everything that happened with the previous members of his NCIS teams, he agreed to go back to the old way of challenging the probationary agents.
Tony had a cat for most of an episode at least. Tony took in a stray cat and liked him so much that he gave him the name Rick Blaine, after the famous movie character who wore a tuxedo.
The cat eventually ran away. When Gibbs ponders further, Deluca reveals that EOD kicked him off the crime scene and that the entire area is off-limits until it's been cleared. Deluca even states given that there's decades of unexploded devices on the ground, it could take for up to three weeks for the whole area to be cleared.
As Gibbs is granted access to the elevator, he urges Deluca to come in which Deluca accepts albeit a bit hastily.
Up in the lab, Abby's getting ready for round two with the mysterious hacker and as the battle begins, she and McGee are left stunned when they backtrack the source of the hack. If they do the math, then Kate believes that it might be about thirty or more concealed victims on the range. Gibbs then orders Deluca to co-ordinate with the provost marshal and that there is to be a cordon around that range 24 hours a day.
As he leaves, Deluca asks Tony and Kate if there's a secret to getting on Gibbs's good side but they both tell him that Gibbs doesn't have one. The team all gather down at the morgue when Fornell reveals that Gera was an undercover FBI agent but when Gibbs offers Fornell a joint investigation, Fornell refuses.
However, he wants to talk to Gibbs in private and once they've gone, Kate and Tony get into a pissing match with Charles and the other Agent. In the lift, Fornell asks if Gibbs knows who Jimmy Napolitano is. Gibbs does and Fornell reveals that he has spent half his career trying to put Napolitano behind bars but every time he's managed to walk free due to a technicality. Fornell states that Ari is a valuable intelligence asset while Napolitano's nothing but a cheap hood.
Gibbs on the other hand begs to differ considering that Ari shot one of his people , kidnapped one of his agents and even put through Gibbs's own left shoulder. However, Fornell stops it, asking if everyone has told Gibbs he's an insufferable bastard. Gibbs states that they have. Fornell then states that he came to Gibbs for help. Gibbs then makes a reference to the joint investigation but Fornell tells him that he couldn't say anything in front of his FBI colleagues.
He believes that for some reason, Napolitano has always been one step ahead of him and that every agent and every informant that gets close to the mob boss ends up like Gera downstairs and all the evidence points to a mole. When Gibbs suggests asking Internal Affairs, Fornell tells him that they can't help him and even admits that he considers Gibbs a friend.
Gibbs admits that he's thinking about it but Fornell tells him that it's settled and restarts the lift. Then, a few minutes later, the big man Jimmy Napolitano arrives on scene with Charles explaining that Napolitano is politically connected and has the finest lawyers money can buy.
Charles even shows them Abe Vigoda , a mole for the FBI who's spying on the club, named after the actor. Charles and Tony playfully voice a scene from The Godfather before getting a look from Gibbs.
Gibbs visits Fornell in prison where Fornell informs him that they found coke cocaine and money in his freezer. He's being framed due to his vulnerability which is Ari and given that he was the one responsible for arranging the meeting between the two, Fornell's in big trouble. When Fornell states that he's not going to get out of this, Gibbs tells he will but just not the way he likes.
In the morgue, Ducky has identified the second victim as being Frank Pilato aka "Frankie P", a mobster who was supposed to testify against Napolitano five years but disappeared while walking his dog one Sunday afternoon.
