This week’s episode of NCIS centered around the murder of three military officers in a hotel room. The scene was bizarre in that each individual was drugged so that they were semi-conscious meaning they were alive and aware when the were being killed. Sounds like something that a person with a grudge might do.

On man drowned by having his head flushed into a toilet, another died from suffocation and the last one was force to drink so much liquor that it killed him and all of them had their head’s shaved.

As the show went on it was discovered that all three men had bullied a police officer that the NCIS team knew, and they had bullied him every since grade school.  They discovered a video showing how the men had died in the exact same way the police officer had been bullied in school, which of course made him the prime suspect in the case.

As it turned out, it was this petite woman who was the only one crying for one of the guys that had gotten killed – the person you’d least expect.

She had set up the entire scene to point all the evidence to the  police officer who had double crossed her on a sale of a stolen $2 million military plane.

Gibbs is reluctant to bring Ziva back on the force, not because she disobeyed his order, but because she actually had the temperament to kill her own brother, which was his order. After all the dust cleared we learn that despite her love for her brother she shot him, not to follow Gibbs’  orders, but because it was the only way to save lives from a person who had simply turned evil.

This was a good episode of NCIS which had all the mystery and twists and turns viewers have come to expect. There was good emotional drama and yet they kept the episode humors at times to balance the script.
