10.02 Recovery

The episode opens with Abby hiding in the elevator outside autopsy. We’ve been here before a couple of times, but I’m sure there will be a new and interesting twist to this regressive behaviour.

She calls out for Ducky and Jimmy, but the morgue is empty. She steps out of the elevator and gives herself a little pep talk about there being nothing to fear. I’m yelling the same thing at her from my living room, but she’s being a lot nicer to herself and more supportive than I will ever be. She forces herself to go in, and she suddenly gets sucked through the doors as lights flash and the sound goes all echoey. So it’s a dream. Cool.

10.01 Extreme Prejudice

Yeah, I know I’m five months late. Don’t act like you’re surprised.

Previously on NCIS: Toby Zeigler was evil, Jamie Lee Curtis was annoying, Ducky had a heart attack, lots of bombs went off, and Gary Glasberg managed to steer this ship away from the iceberg it was headed for under Captain Brennan. Well done, sir. Well done indeed.

We start where we left off on May 15, 2012. Ducky’s in the hospital in Florida (HE’S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!) and his doctor tells him that he had a heart attack. There’s a bunch of hospital talk that I don’t understand but fortunately the actors are wearing worried expressions so I know the news isn’t great. Also tipping me off to the extent of the badness is how Ducky looks.
