Alibi is the eighth episode of NCIS Season 11 and the 242nd episode of the entire NCIS series.
Synopsis
When a Petty Officer dies in a hit and run while out jogging near Quantico, it seems like an easy case for the NCIS team but things take a turn when a former FBI agent turned lawyer confides in Gibbs that her client, a Navy Petty Officer has a confidential alibi while McGee grows suspicious of Tony's strange behavior.
Prologue
It's late at the Marine Base at Quantico and as a white SVU heads into the distance, Navy Petty Officer Third Class Jodie Ray is busy running or rather, jogging at a brisk pace while listening to some music which blares loudly from her headphones.
As she continues jogging, a red truck comes up behind her at a fast speed, eventually slamming into Petty Officer Ray, killing her instantly while also sending her body flying into the grass where she lies there, lifeless, her eyes staring at nothing.
The truck abruptly stops and the driver gets out to examine Petty Officer Ray's body before they head back to the trunk.
Seconds later, the truck drives off again.
It then cuts to Petty Officer Ray who lies on the grass, dead.
