TRIVIA: McGee's seasickness from season 2 episode "Bikini Wax" seems to have disappeared. edit »
GOOF: At the start of the shot of Tony and La Grenouille getting coffee, the camera man is visible in the reflection of the muffin case. edit »
TRIVIA: When the team show up to Tony's blown up car there are several shots showing the background and in those shots you can see skyscrapers. They are supposed to be in DC yet the skyscraper that is visible is that of the US Bank Tower, or Library Tower, in L.A. edit »
TRIVIA: The weapon carried by the dead body in Tony's Mustang was indeed a SiGARMS P226 that is standard issue to NCIS; from the last season 4 episode, Tony was in fact not carrying his weapon, as displayed when he went to draw it when going into the morgue of the hospital to detain the drug dealer. The driver must have got it from under the seat. edit »

Gibbs: (after Jenny's gun was unloaded by La Grenouille) If the weapon was loaded and I wasn't here, would you have pulled the trigger?!
Jenny: I guess we'll never know. edit »
Kort: La Grenouille flew to DC this morning, he didn't arrive in his safe house, and his satellite phone has stopped transmitting.

When Tony says "Meet the parents, part 2. I hate sequels," he may be referring to Meet the Fockers, the sequel starring Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, as well as the new characters, the Fockers, played by Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand. edit »
Ducky: He never had the plague!

This is an allusion to the episode 2x22, "SWAK," when Tony contracted the plague from the content of a small white envelope. edit »

The Bottom Line: "Series classic"
Great opening to a fantastic season. ...Continue »
This episode provides us with some great character development and more insight on the characters relationships with each other after an NCIS team member is perceived as dead. A long with that, this episode also bears some very emotional sequences that could bring tears to anybodies eyes whilst watching. A very heart-breaking episode for Tony and you can definitely feel his pain through Weatherly's great acting skills. Didn't really like the 'Frog' story arc, and always thought that it dragged out but this episode shined a different light on it and finally got it's gears moving towards something. Great episode for Tony fans as well as Tony/Ziva shippers as we see a little more of Ziva's true feelings for Tony. Amazing episode.

The Bottom Line: "Fine example"
A great way to start a new season! ...Continue »
the season start where the last season finished; Tony is with Jeanne and his daddy: La Grenouille.
In the meantime the team struggle o find out where is DiNozzo, but when they finally have a hold on him... BOOM!
Everyone looks like shell shocked till Ducky proves that Tony is still alive; the rest of the episode deals with Tony's borke up with Jeanne and Ziva's efforts to cheer him up a bit, and La Grenouille attempts to search protection.
at the end of the episode we discover that he was killed and someone will find him... eventually.
Great way to start a new season, a lot of good moments between the characters and a clever plot make this episode really enjoyable.

the secret operation to capture an international weapons dealer goes wrong when dinozzo's cover is blown. dinozzo reveals to jeannie that he went undercover as her boyfriend so NCIS can track down her dad. this is a really exciting episode. it finishes off a story that's been building up from season 4. the writers came up with a good way to end that story. this is a really cool episode, it's the same old classic NCIS. it's really exciting, i love watching the team snap up to action once again. i had a great time watching this, i can't wait for the next one.

The Bottom Line: "Exactly why I watch this series"
In one word- Amazing.
Also spoilers so watch out! ...Continue »
Truly great stuff once again!!
I must say I cried- a lot. Quite a bit of the episode reminded me of 'Kill Ari' only this time it was kill La Grenouille (or however you spell his name)... it was great to finally get some answers although I'm still slightly confuzzled :P
But YAY no more Jeanne..hopefully she's packed up and left forever- which will give room for the Tivaness to start! I must say the final scene of the episode was very satisfying and we get to see the love from Ziva-how much she cares for him etc etc- this is also done very nicely at the start of the episode with her concern showing for Tony's where-a-bouts.
It was a pretty action-packed ep and although bellisario has left (correct?) it still had the same originality of any other NCIS episode.
And OMG the ending- La Grenouilles death/murder... who bets it was Jen?! *raised hand* But you'll never know how next weeks turn of events will surprise you....
