I missed the trigger-happy inference of DiNozzo’s remark but hadn’t heard the Limbaugh comment from last week which might’ve alerted me.
It was a sloppy episode anyway. For some reason, an experienced NCIS investigator with all sorts of resources doesn’t check up on someone who shouldn’t know where he works and then meets her without backup. And then there was the weird premise of the assassin looking upon Vance as some sort of ally simply because he chased her for years. Badly done all around.
I also had a logistical problem with the shooting lines when Vance’s wife killed the assassin. The probable through-and-through would have hit her husband (and the blood flowing from the woman’s chest after she was shot in the back was clear evidence of a through-shot).
I concur - it was sloppy.
