• Gibbs drinking H2O!
  
  
• Tony is a smart mouth even with "truth serum" in him. His description of Gibbs being a "functional mute." And generally just blabbering. "I got my BS in the streets."
  
  
• The scene in Abby's lab, when they are all explaining things but no one is listening.
  
  
• Tony and Tim are following Abby around the evidence table in her lab for a couple of circuits.
  
  
• When McGee tells Abby and Tony they will have to do one of 2 things, both illegal: either hack into Mossad or hack into Vance. The newbie, Becky, overhears them and quits on the spot. And they picked the Mossad instead of Vance to hack!
  
  
• McGee saying he wants to buy a pair of red leather pants, something that really cradle his butt. :)
  
  
• When Tony thinks Ziva is dead and everyone is talking to him: McGee: "Blah, blah, blah, computer stuff, blah blah." Ducky: "Autopsy report" Abby: "Words and things and emotions." He did hear "Thanks for listening Tony." And the only thing he heard from Gibbs was "Grab your gear!"
  
  
• While still dazed Tony hears Gibbs say "Some idiot snuck a koala on a submarine."

• Tony : "Remember I told you my boss is a sniper?" (last thing Saleem heard)
  
  
• McGee shouting peace in Arabic when they are taken prisoner
  
  
• DEA Agent Claire Connell giving Tony a very FIRM handshake
  
  
• DEA Agent Claire Connell running out of the interview room with Gibbs crying while Tony and McGee discuss how unflappable she is. Gibbs pushes the file to Tony's chest and says "Strike One!"
  
  
• Tony's definition of the word "Pah"

• When Tony is in the Observation room with Officer Heather Kincaid , and Gibbs is in the Interrogation room with DiMarco , and they say the same words simultaneously.

• Ziva is emotionally damaged as well as physically hurt.
  
• McGee seems to be emotionally grown up. No longer the boy in a man's body.
  
• Tiva seems to be ever evolving. When Tony is on the truth serum he says that he cannot live without her. He says this quite sarcastically however truth is evident. And tells her not to ask any questions she doesn't want an answer for.
  
• It seems Tony's back to his old comrade the shoulder holster, albeit it is now a vinyl/fabric one instead of leather.
  
• Tony and Tim seem to develop a nice team dynamic
• Tony is treating Tim as an equal not a "Probie" anymore.
• Tony dared to tell Gibbs "No!"
• Gibbs and Vance seem to have come to a better understanding of each other. Vance just agreed with Gibbs that he didn't like that they didn't know any more and Gibbs understood it as an "OK" to "gathering more Intel." (Plausible deniability)
• Gibbs is back in the camouflage suit for the rescue mission and shot Saleem through the head and signaled the attack.
• Killing Saleem shows that Gibbs is not rusty with his sniper skills.
  

• Saleem Ulman drinks Caf-Pow! a habit he acquired at Yale, enough to have it imported from the US every few months.
  

• Saleem Ulman broke Rule #1 - Never let suspects sit together
  
  
• Gibbs is wearing a MARINES t-shirt on arrival back at HQ.
  

• How did Gibbs get to the camp so fast? He was like 1000m away.
• Why was Ziva wearing a rain coat in the desert, and where did it come from?
• And...how DID the boat get out of the basement?? =) ("Scotty, beam that boat directly to the nearest marina." ?)
• How did Tony's arm heal so quick? No sign of it in the May flashback.
• If they had truth serum, why did the terrorists beat Ziva? and why did they keep her alive for 3 months, if she was disposable?
• Did the truth serum actually work, or was it just part of the plan?
