Let’s talk about that opening scene of NCIS Season 12 Episode 4, shall we? That was gruesome and devastating and crazy.
In case you don’t have time to watch NCIS online, here’s the gist:
A naval research scientist sitting on a park bench with a motorized garrote around her neck begging people not to touch or move her lest she die right then and there. So guess what they did? And guess what happened to her?
Yeah. She was decapitated in front of onlookers who then, and only then, went “d’oh!”
AHHHH!
While the case of the week was sort of filler while we were introduced to Leia Pendergast, we did get to see bad guy Mishnev once again.
We don’t know what he wants, but there he was, with motorized garrotes being used for everything from decapitation to keeping doors closed.
The death of the researchers was clearly meant to send a message, but to whom? Benin? Gibbs? Both?
This is a mystery which will continue to unravel, just as the relationship between Tony and Pendergast builds.
