What a great episode.

Spoilers

Liked Tony telling McGee that he is sensitive too and isn't a complete klutz. Loved the prank he pulled, and how he denies that it is his fault when everything starts going wrong, like he expects people to automatically blame him.

Gibbs automatically going to his normal side of the interrigation room and almost smiling when he realised his mistake.
Fornell not giving Gibbs any indication that it was Tony who they had the evidence on.
Leon knows Gibbs and Jenny. Pays Gibbs back some money he owed even though it was a trivial amount. To avoid being accused of conflict of interest or owing Gibbs?

McGee worring about having hacked into the CIA. Fornell not caring. Still hasn't completely gotten over his nervousness.
"Gibbs doesn't get curious he gets suspcious" - loved it.
McGee saying that his and Tony's relationship is very professional even after the flashbacks show that Tony treats him very unprofessionally. Still trys to protect Tony. Shows that they are friends.

Ziva getting the blue moon quote wrong.
Hints of what Ziva is capable of.

Ducky complimenting the other ME. The smile on his face as he says it.
Knows that Fornell is holding something back (Tony).

Leon knows about Gibbs and Jenny's "relationship"

Tony frustrated that he still has to wait to be questioned.

"We investigate the FBI" Knew Gibbs would find a way around not being allowed to investigate the case.

Gibbs' old laptop. And his pride of having it.

Liked how Ducky said he will share his story later. Also again smiled when talking about the other ME, he must like her ;)

Loved the Tony/Abby interraction - more brother and sister. Also liked how Tony reassured Abby that she would be ok.
Tony's look when he turned over the tarot card. Also how he immediately jumped up when Fornell came. Might be starting to get worried about why he is being left til last. Also Fornell shoots him an interesting look as he is leaving.

Abby's interrigation was so funny. The theory she has of Gibbs being magic and the smile she gave when saying she checked if Gibbs had bugged her lab was so lovely.

Gibbs reminding Ziva that its the tyres that he wants slit and not the agents throats.
Gibbs look of pride at his printer contrasted with McGee's look of horror.

Abby realising that someone was trying to frame Jenny.

Flashbacks started to get a little annoying after awhile. Guess they are put there for causal views who might have missed things.

Fornell was quite amused at a lot of the comments made by the team during interrigation. He was smiling a lot.

And Jeanne is back! Although it didn't really look like her from the back. I wonder if they got a double to do that little part although I don't know why they would.

Tony calling Fornell, Toby and reminding him about the last time he was questioned by them. Says he has learned a few things since then. Fornell admits that Tony has done some growing. Tony appears to be very causal to start with. Joking around like normal.
"I did what I was told" - for some reason this caught my interest. Don't really know what made it stand out.
Very honest about how his feels developed. Small smile when he wouldn't say that Jenny ordered him to sleep with Jeanne.
Deflects Fornell's question about what it felt like to break Jeanne' heart. Says the interrigation feels more like a therepy session. Can tell it is still a painful issue for him.

Jeanne going to Africa, trying to escape but it didn't work.

Fornell's comment that Tony is a good liar. 
Tony starts to get frustrated.
"We were in love"
Tony was upset when she left - went for a drive to clear his head. Can't remember where he went - gives an indication of just how upset he actually was.
Jeanne framing Tony.
Tony's shock of being accused - "I did what" - obviously wasn't suspecting it or even thought that it was a possibility that he could be a suspect.

Didn't like how McGee and Ziva actually considered the possibility that it was Tony. Thought they would have more faith in him than that.

The scene with Jenny and Jeanne was so powerful and beautifully done. Jenny was obviously speaking from personal experience.

CIA claims responsibility for the murder. Kort has taken over as the arms dealer. Fornell questions if it is the truth.

Tony punches Kort. Yay! Because Rene was a father to someone. Doing it for Jeanne. Shows he still loves her. Or is it because how he feels about not being close to his father and now someone else has to go through that. Wonder how far it would have gone if Ziva hadn't stepped in.
Ziva tells Tony to be a man and tell Jeanne what she needs to hear.
Tony angry that Jeanne framed him.
I'm glad he said sorry to her. It should help to give him some closure.
"Was any of it real?" "No" "I wish I'd never met you" - I felt so sad for Tony. It was the right thing to do because now she wont wonder if it could have worked out, and she will be able to move on. But it would have been so hard for him because it was real and he did love her. You can see he is having trouble keeping it together at the end.

My interpretation of the end is that Jenny did do it and got away with it. And Gibbs knows but can't/wont to anything about it.

This was a great episode. All the actors especially Michael Weatherly were great. Its definately up there in the all time great NCIS episodes.

Can't wait for the rest of the season. Hopefully they will be just as good.
