NCIS season 2

This season Sean Murray who plays McGee is in the opening credits since episode one.

ep 1 - See no evil - Captain Watson's wife and daughter are held hostage, and he's being controlled, but he manages to get his assistant to contact NCIS "and only them". Kyle Grayson took them, but unknowingly he was hired by captain Watson himself.
Gibbs tells Abby she's one of the smartest people he knows :-) McGee's name is Timothy, and the little actress playing the blind daughter is amazing :-)
ep 2 - The good wives club - A bride died in her dress, chained to the bed. They find out that chaplain Evans had done that to four girls, but the last one, Carolyn Figgis, eighteen, is found still alive after he shot himself in the head.
Funny : Gibbs talking of the murderer "he's cautious", and Abby replies "So am I, when I chain guys up" :lol:
ep 3 - Vanished - A helicopter is found left in a field, at the centre of a crop circle, and Abby goes crazy! But alas it was nothing supernatural, just a stupid old feud, and they killed the Marine's brother because he had fallen in love with the daughter of 'the enemy'.
ep 4 - Lt. Jane Doe - A girl is found dead with no documents, and Ducky takes it personal because it resembles a case from ten years before where the victim was the only one he was never able to identify, so her family never had closure. It turns out the murderer from ten years ago has died, and this time, the responsible is the Petty Officer that McGee knew years ago.
It was very cute when Gibbs asked Abby to work with Ducky, just to give him something to do.. :-) We learn that Ducky hunted with a falcon in Scotland, in his youth.
This is the first episode with the black and white shots. It ends with Ducky putting his old case to rest, but actually he still hasn't identified the body; okay they know the murderer is dead, the case is closed, but if what bothered him so much was that he could never identified her, seems a bit semplicist that he would now simply let it go.
ep 5 - The bone yard - At a practice bomb site, is discovered a bone yard. The latest victim wasn't a mafioso, but an undercover Fbi agent. The Bureau thinks Fornell is a mole and they arrest him. That's why he asked for Gibbs help.
In the gym, Kate knocks down McGee, and Gibbs boxes with Tony: no need to say who won. :-)
We learn that Kate has three older brothers; we are reminded that she was handpicked to defend the President, but it is understandable how she might want to remind people of that, it's quite an honor, right?
Tony: "My name's Tony DiNozzo. Italiano. Doesn't make me Mafia now, does it?" Well, he sounds as Italian as I sound American, but it doesn't matter, the sentiment is very much appreciated, absolutely, very much!
"Ari's a valuable intelligence asset, Gibbs" says Fornell to Gibbs who is still very much pissed off; he also says "Realising how sad this sounds, you're the closest thing I have to a friend Gibbs." After staging his death, Gibbs says about him "he was my friend!" :-D
ep 6 - Terminal leave - A bomb in a Lt 's car, but she's safe, only her dog died. Ncis protects her and her family. It always annoys me how people under protection act, as if being killed is worth the risk, compared to stay confined for a couple of days, or something like that. It's really stupid, but in every movie, where someone is under protection, they act like that, as if the enemy were the agents protecting them. What should they say: "of course you can go to the cinema, walk in the park with your boyfriend, play football with your friends, why not? Sure, there's someone out there who wants to blow your head off, but if you're ok with that, why should I stop you? ", or should they say: "No, you can't go" ?
The scene with Tony in the same bathroom while Kate was having a shower actually was out of line, I mean that Tony was out of line; usually they are just bickering, but this time he really was a jerk.
I don't like that FBI woman at all, her mouth when she talks.. I don't like it. Not at all, not a bit, I was tempted to fast-forward her...
I liked a lot the scene when Abby tried to explaining what she was doing to Gibbs, then simply said "Machine making pretty pictures now" :lol:
ep 7 - Call of silence - Corporal Ernie Yost, receiver of a Medal of Honor, comes to Ncis saying that he killed his best friends, and Gibbs tries to understand what happened: he respects, admires the man: being given the medal of honor is not for everyone. It turns out that he killed his friend Wade at Iwo Jima because he had stepped on a mine and was so in pain he couldn't keep quiet, and Yost had to silence him, to protect his team.
ep 8 - Heart break - A commander goes on fire on a hospital bed. They investigate, and it turns out that it was caused deliberatly to avoid anyone finding out that the operation had gone wrong, to protect her career the doctor that Ducky liked made him go up in fire to cover it.
Gibbs is again working at his boat, which appears to have a few more pieces now, and his redhead woman is there, and drives him to work.
Kate suffers a lot because the young ensign who was the prime suspect was suicidal and forced her to kill him, but he was innocent.
ep 9 - Forced entry - A marine's wife shots a guy who attacks her at her home. He was a serial rapist and murderer, working with his lover and a computer expert she then killed.
"My brothers are practically psychotic" is what Kate says of her family.
ep 10 - Chained - Tony is working undercover as a prisoner and his escape handcuffed to another prisoner has been well planned, but that Jeffrey is worse than he looks, he already murdered three people, and in the end Tony has to shoot him, with the same gun Jeffrey had given him to cover his back.
McGee talks with the Secretary of State, Anna ... something, and tells her to 'stick it'. What I'd like to know, though, is what exactly are those pills that people take so easily like peanuts? I often see this in movies: a headache, hangover, stress... two or three pills without thinking twice about it! If it doesn't stop, pills again! What the hell are they? Sometimes they call it aspirin, but it can't be what I call aspirina because I have to melt it in water, and I can't drink it without eating before otherwise it's really bad for my stomach, and I can't take any number I like, without consulting a doctor. One, two is you're ill, no more. There's nothing I can think of that I could take so easily... well, vitamins maybe, maybe it's something like that!
ep 11 - Black water - A lieutenant has been missing for two years, and now his remains are found in a lake.
A famous private detective made the accident look like a murder to collect the million dollar price "for catching his murderer". I'm a bit sorry for McGee that admired him, but I'm more glad that Kate was right and that Thomas did not kill his brother. At the end, Kate and Tom leave for New York on his private plane :-)
This was funny: Gibbs: "you know me Duck. I suspect everything" - Ducky:"yes, an admirable trait in an investigator. And also the reason your three marriages ended in divorce" - G:"Oh yeah? All these years I thought it was because I was a bastard" - D: "Well, of course, that didn't help" - :lol:
We learn that Ducky introduced Gibbs to his last wife, and now she doesn't talk to him anymore :lol:
Kate orders a veggie lunch for everyone, and Tony and McGee throw it in the bin! I don't like this kind of waste, food should never be wasted like that!! It's awful!
ep 12 - Doppelganger - Petty officer Lambert faked and staged his own death, but then he's found killed.
This was funny: Lt. Cheney is exactly like Gibbs: he has more than one ex-wife, bad relations with them, drinks lots of coffee, shouts at his team... Cheney works with Miller, a copy of McGee, Rachel Rand, just like Kate, and Primo Monteleone, a copy of Tony so perfect they even gave him an Italian name. Monteleone flirts with Kate like Tony flirts with Rachel, and Cheney smacks the back of his head! Rachel says 'shotgun' and Monteleone calls Miller 'probie'... Gibbs doesn't seem to pay this any attention, but Kate and Tony are left with their mouths open... Lovely the scene when Gibbs and Cheney are doing an interrogation together: I liked that so much!
A nice scene : Abby:"okay Gibbs, I know you think I'm supergirl... actually my hair's probably Wonder Woman, or Isis or the Powerpuff girl" - Kate:"I've always been partial to Xena" - Abby:"I don't know about her. No self-respecting superhero should wear open-toed shoes" - Kate:"oh, I agree" :lol: this was funny, although I admit I didn't remember about the open-toed shoes. I'd have said she had some sort of boots...
Another funny scene was when McGee went with Gibbs to translate computer-language to him.
How comes that Jethro gets a date? Isn't he in a relationship? Who is that redhead woman in the hot car?
Then there was this bit, Gibbs' speech : "Capaci's a town outside Palermo. In '91 there was a Mafia don sitting on a hill side orchard chain-smoking, watching the road below. Two cars in a tight formation came around the corner. The don hit a switch. The road exploded. It killed the chief magistrate prosecuting the sicilian Mafia, his wife, and three bodyguards. The italian Carabinieri, they found the cigarette butts in the orchard, sent them to our Fbi crime lab. They matched the Dna from the saliva on the filters to the don. It's the first time that Dna was ever used successfully to prosecute a killer" The story of this tragedy rang more than one bell of course, who doesn't know about it: Well, it was 1992, not 91, and it was the assassination of judge Giovanni Falcone. I don't know about all the rest though, because frankly this thing about 'prosecuting a mafia boss' is totally new to me. Very good for a tv show episode, of course, but that's so not what things are really like!
Back to Gibbs, it ends with him saying that he hopes it won't match, and again kissing that Karen, but her eyes told us that yes, it will match...
ep 13 - The meat puzzle - Ducky had been working on this for six months, because it took long to find out how many people were in there and reconstruct them. Now Ducky recognizes Michael Grant, District Attorney in Baltimore in one of the three victims. Ten years ago Ducky testified at some of his cases. The second victim is Judge Roland Davis, and the third is Carl Foss. They were prosecutor, judge and foreman of the jury in the same case that sent Vincent Hanlan to prison.
We meet Ducky's mother, a 96 years old woman suffering from dementia, and her four Welsh Corgis dogs. Victim number four is delivered to her house. When Ducky is taken, we see that Gibbs was again right, and Vincent was not dead, he was killing people with his mother, and almost killed Ducky too, but of course they get there in time! Obviously, they couldn't loose Ducky!!!
I loved this : "Gibbs, what did Ducky look like when he was younger?" - "Illia Kuryakin". Adorable! McCallum played Kuryakin when he was younger!
ep 14 - Witness - Erin Kendall witnessed a murder, and McGee goes to investigate. The police didn't believe her, but he does, and decides to get the team rolling. He was right in believing her: they found the dead sailor. Unfortunately, Erin is murdered too, and McGee couldn't save her. McGee goes to the hypnotist Tony suggested to Kate to overcome her fear of dentists, to help him recall every details of Erin's murder and they catch the bastard!
At the end, Kate and Tony are food-fighting like children while McGee is writing something. They think it's his report, because they both had to rewrite their first reports : Tony five times (should have been more, but Gibbs took pity on him), Kate twice, but not McGee, the first one was okay! He's actually writing a sympathy note to Erin's parents! Good-heart, McGee.
ep 15 - Caught on tape - A man is murdered while videotaping the landscape.
I love so much Kate and Abby's friendship! They're great. I also loved that dogs like Gibbs awww
We learn that Gloria is Abby's deaf mother's name, and she calls her by name! What is this fashion to call parents by name!! It all ends with Kate and Abby taking care of the doggie the dead murderer had.
ep 16 - Pop life - A girl is responsible for the death of her sister and another girl, along with a man who helped her, and that killed the boss that owned her. She was about to get everything she wanted, but they catch her.
Abby:"midnight, some guy seems all dark and gnarly, and then you wake up, and his tattoos are fake and he works at a bank" - McGee:"I used to work at a bank" - Abby:"your tat is real, and you don't disappoint me" :-) So what about the present tense, are they still sleeping together, although not planning ahead to avoid Abby to panic? :-) That would explain why McGee went jealous, when while doing a test Jimmy Palmer was so attracted to Abby he ended up making a mess and glueing himself to her, and McGee came in at that moment and yelled at him!!
Kate and Tony ask Ducky to counsel them.
ep 17 - An eye for an eye - A Petty officer receives human eyes in the mail, then kills himself. This episode's real bastard is an intelligence asset in Paraguay named Purcell, a real scumbag who is killed by Intel after Gibbs traded him : "it's him, or Ari"
Again another woman hitting on Gibbs...
ep 18 - Bikini wax - A petty officer gets killed right before her bikini contest. A girl killed her because she was pregnant with her fiancèe's child.
Come on now, in real life they would really spend so much time and money to buy 100 different type of wax and have them all tested?? This is why it's called fiction!
Tony went to college to Ohio State, spending Spring breaks at the beaches, of course. Ducky graduated at Edimburgh Medical School, but I think we knew that, Ari went there too! Abby was in the circus...
ep 19 - Conspiracy theory - Petty officer Jessica Smith claims she was attacked at her house, that monsters are after her again, then someone kills her and  fakes her suicide in the hospital room.
Abby calls Gibbs "my silver-haired fox" :-D After Abby cuts herself, Gibbs kisses her wounded finger awww
nice :-) Again, the motive was money. Yeuch.
I loved the scene with Gibbs and Fornell interrogating the suspect together! Also the fact that they are on a first name relationship: Jethro and Tobias.
ep 20 - Red cell - Two college Marine killed by their gunny who abused a female student because they wanted to stop him from doing it again.
Kate and Tony bust into McGee's house, but go out before seeing the pretty girl that was there :-) Abby's nickname was Vamperstein :-) and she apologises for her ranting "sorry, too much caffeine", and McGee is humiliated by a better hacker.
ep 21 - Hometown hero - After Justin Dobbs dies in war, the remains of a girl are found in his truck. Gibbs wants to clear him, because he died a real hero: "petty officer Dobbs died in that uniform saving lives". At the end, they clear him completely. She was killed by her stepfather, so now petty officer Dobbs will be afforded the Silver Star.
Kate and Abby were planning to spend the weekend together at a health spa, but all weekend plans are cancelled to work on a new case. Tony does it again, playing acting-Gibbs while he's not around. Abby was called back when she was at church, and she's so pretty in her Sunday-church outfit and umbrella! A pretty doll in black, and boots. Adorable. Ducky is so funny "Oh Jethro, I can spend forever finding nothing" :-) We see Lt commander Coleman again: I don't like her. Tony's car after being stolen is used in a robbery and then crashed by the thief during the escape chase.
ep 22 - SWAK - A letter arrives sealed with a red-lipstick kiss, and immediately Tony opens it. Some powder comes out, and they initiate biological-hazard procedures, and find that the letter it says it's plague! Tony's infected with this Y Pestis. He's the only one infected, but he'll get well, of course :-)
Tony wears a Ermenegildo Zegna suit, Armani tie, Dolce e Gabbana shirt and Gucci shoes! Abby cartwheeling is so cute! Tamara Taylor plays Cassidy Yates... did we hear about her before? I don't remember...
Swak means Sealed with a kiss. I knew about this, in the book Going Postal a letter has Swalk written on it: sealed with a loving kiss. In this case there was a kiss, but it wasn't loving at all, so just Swak.
ep 23 - Twilight - Tony comes back early from his sick leave, after last episode, in time to avoid his team from blowing up, since there was a bomb in the car with the two bodies of two Lt. pilots. Ari's back, and it would appear he was never trying to help the americans, he was planning something of his own all along: blow up all the families welcoming home five full warships. They stop it all, but then Ari shoots Kate from a distance, right in the head. She dies instantly, and this was quite a shock, I was sorry it ended this way.
Kate apparently broke up with her lawyer boyfriend. Abby was so cute, lying down beside Tony, when he had to lie down :-) We learn Fornell's first bigger mistake: marrying Gibbs' second wife, despite his warning :lol:
