Palmer shows up at Ducky's house, walks in,
I was surprised at the lack of an alarm in a crime ridden place like DC.
and is greeted (friendly..) by the dogs.
A dog named “Solo“ … nice touch.
He calls out to Ducky but there's no answer.
Finds Ducky in bed... and realizes he's dead.
Cut to... NCIS office, with all of them beginning
to reminisce...
Teenage gal [a] comes in and approaches Palmer, calling
him Dr. Mallard, and a bit pissed he missed a meeting
with her.
She was escorted to Dr. Mallard‘s office by some sort of NCIS usher. It
seems really odd that somebody showing up asking for ducky would just be
taken back to his office and left there on her own.
Plot: she's the daughter of a Marine who died ten
years ago in Afghanistan, was accused of Unauthorized
Absence ("UA"), found dead of an overdose in a brothel,
given a posthumous dishonorable discharge (or whatever
the technical term would be). Duaghter had reached
out to Ducky who now, 10 years later, isn't so sure..
(that background would be a big spoiler).
So... the crew figures that if Ducky thought the Marine
was innocent, they'll damn well prove it.
No surprise... they eventually do.
There's an envelope with some misc notes
that's postmarked Alaska, hence likely from
Gibbs.
It was a photo of Gibbs, Ducky, and Mc Proby.
But he doesn't appear. There's
also a bouquet of black flowers and, umm,
some figure or another, presumably from
Abby. Again, no appearance.
Oh, good call. Of course the black Goth gift was from Abby.
Nothing from Ziva.
I can’t remember if the general public is supposed to remember that she is alive.
[a] she looked to be in her 20's, but said she
was seven when her dad died 10 years ago...
And she was applying to colleges which would make her 17.
The actress tries to keep her age a secret, but Mr. Google says she is 20
and will turn 21 April 13 of this year.
...
At the end,
[grit teeth warning]
[grit teeth warning]
one last [grit teeth warning]
at the end... Tony appears.
“Autopsy gremlin!“
Supposedly just to
show for the funeral, and there's no suggestion
he'll be staying, but... various writeups have
said he's re-joining.
You know, I knew there was going to be a special guest star, and Tony
tweeted a couple weeks ago, that he had just signed the papers to make an appearance, and I still didn’t put it together.
Mc Proby wasn’t surprised to see him and there was some dialogue in the elevator about the movie that they had watched the night before. So
apparently his presence wasn’t a surprise to everybody although it was to Palmer.
