Unfortunately, after the break, they bring back the hash. Sigh. I really like the kid in this episode, the actor is very good, but the point of the rest of the episode is to trash Tony. First by proving he's not good with kids and then by giving McGee credit for his work. Gibbs usually does a better job than that figuring out who did what. On the other hand, it's Tony's observation skills that id the bad guy.
Tony's father once left him for two days in a hotel room in Maui.
Abby says Tony ran point for Ohio State.
Chip continues to collect evidence for his scheme, although he also does seem to be trying to get them to like him. I suspect it's so that they'll be less likely to figure out he's the one setting Tony up.
The scene in autopsy when Ziva is going over all the ways you could kill someone without the authorities realizing they've been murderer is a good insight into the way her mind works. Show her a murder and her reaction is to critique the technique. She still hasn't started to think like an investigator. They make use of her more esoteric talents to get the information they need to find the commander.
This episode is all about Gibbs and the kid. They're setting things up for Gibbs as father by showing him with Zack in his basement. As a mystery it doesn't really grip me.
