Synopsis
In the aftermath of Ziva killing Ilan Bodnar who was responsible for the deaths of Eli David and Jackie Vance, NCIS finds itself under investigation from a Department of Homeland Security agent and the consequences that emerge could prove damaging or even life changing for everyone involved, especially Gibbs and his team while the NCIS team investigate when a Petty Officer claims that he's being followed with the team wondering if the Officer's claims are a result of paranoia, tied to national security or something else altogether.
Prologue
The episode opens with a recap of what happened in the previous episodes and ends with NCIS Special Agent Ziva David telling NCIS Director Leon Vance that it's over, Ziva referring to the fact that she tracked down and killed her former friend, rogue Mossad operative, Ilan Bodnar in the previous episode.
At a training barracks, as various Marines undergo training, Female Marine 1 remarks that she hates it when they cry before wondering what her friend said to him.
"It wasn't him", Female Marine 2 replies. "It was me".
"That's original", Female Marine 1 remarks sarcastically.
Female Marine 2 states that it was true, saying that she didn't like him before wondering what was she supposed to say?
Female Marine 1 prefers something more subtle like "I hate the way you chew".
Female Marine 2 remarks that she did hate the way her date chewed.
Female Marine 1 remarks that if they don't take the hint, then...
"Get the Hell away from me!", a man loudly yells, interrupting the conversation.
"Sounds about right", Female Marine 1 remarks.
It then shows a man being chased by Petty Officer Third Class Evan Lowry who yells that he saw him while the man tells Lowry to get away from him.
Lowry then tackles, sending both men to the ground.
"Hey!", Female Marine 1 yells.
As this happens, she and Female Marine 2 rush off, restraining Lowry and pulling him off the civilian while various other Marines have stopped training and are looking on.
In a small room, a camera shows that the whole event is being recorded.
A cameraman asks a woman what does she want him to do?
As Female Marine 2 tells Lowry that he needs to back up, it then cuts to the mysterious woman who states, "Nothing".
