WRITTEN BY: Donald P. Bellisario and Don McGill
QUOTES:
Sanderson: "Jung postulated that we genetically inherited our primordial fears which can be triggered by smells or sounds. Oh! I'll never forget my first trip to Africa. There was a moment where..."
Kate: "Are you by any chance related to a Doctor Mallard?"
Ducky: "My god, Digger. When did your department last update its field kits? Your probe is so old it could've been used on Typhoid Mary. Were you as amazed by her story as I was Digger? A healthy woman making all those people sick and not having a clue. Can you imagine not having a clue, Digger?"
Gibbs: "Test? On a Navy ship?"
Tony: "If I heard there were going to be tests on a Navy ship, do you think we'd still be standing here, Boss?"
Gibbs: "Oh, sorry. Forgot your minds work concurrently."
Tony: "We ought to do something, Boss."
Gibbs: "Have you ever made a mistake, Tony?"
Tony: "According to you or me?"
Gibbs: "You."
Tony: "Yeah."
Gibbs: "Could anyone make you feel better?"
Tony: "No."
GIBBS'S RULES: None
DUCKY'S STORIES:
Wouldn't it be fascinating if our Jane Doe was unknowingly interred atop a prehistoric burial? It's happened to me once before you know. In sixty eight.... Or was it sixty seven? No matter.

THOUGHTS:
I'm going to be honest - I skimmed this episode when doing my rewatch and I completely skipped it when rewatching with my mom. The woman just irritated me. We did get a little of feisty Ducky.
I did watch it in full before doing this, though. One thing about season 1 - I didn't like the noise made when they zoomed in on a scene. I'm glad they switched to the black and white preview shot later.
RATING: I thought a 1 might be too hard on this episode, but the woman just really, really irritated me. So a 1 it is.
