Tony said that it is big bucks on a lieutenant salary. Gibbs claims that we have nothing until they crack the incrypting.

Tony walks into Jenny's office and decides to pass on the promotion. Jenny told Tony that she is proud adn sometimes wishes she would have taken her career slower.

New Character Development / Insights:
  • Tony enjoys being the team leader and sometimes may even misses it, but still believes he has lot more to learn from Gibbs.
  • Gibbs acts different with that moustache and it suprises the team and possibly catches them off guard.
  • McGee is more bothered now when Tony calls him Probie.
  • Ducky conducting a psychological autopsy because he has a degree in forensic psychology.
    Funny Moments:
    • When Gibbs wakes Abby by whispering in her ear, "Your computer's on fire."
    • When Tony, Ziva and McGee are playing on morph pro and Gibbs walks in when they are putting him and the Director on there!
    • Watching Ziva undercover as a nerd.
    • Tony: "Our big, bad spy doesn't do geek." Ziva: "Did he just say Greek?"
    • Seeing Gibbs' reactions to watching Ziva undercover as a nerd.
    Trivia:
    • The song playing in the opening is "Strict Machine" by Goldfrapp.
    • At the start of the episode, the girl driving the car is wearing the same top as 'Marta' (evil Hamas chick, friends with Ari and now dead) did in 'Reveille'.
    • When McGee uses MorphPro on Tony and Ziva the result is a baby, but just before that he said that MorphPro is used to predict the appearence of your adult offspring. Continuity mistake much?

          This episode (at least for me) marked the end of Tony being team leader. I personally did not like Tony as team leader. I found it awkward having McGee call him Boss and it almost made him an equal to Gibbs. It just felt wierd to watch. So I guess i am asking, did you like Tony as team leader or should that job just stick with Gibbs?
          Do you find this valuable?
