So, I think you are totally right about Dearing not being the big bad, but instead a big red herring. Here's why: We saw pics of Gibbs at the bachelor party in the next ep, right? Why on earth would he go and presumably (if the pics are in context) really enjoy himself with a domestic terrorist on the loose? Short answer? He wouldn't. In this ep, he was totally back to obsessive Gibbs. But, we also saw Dearing at the Navy Yard in the promo for next week. I'm thinking that you're right, he wants to be caught; he's making it too easy. So, they catch him next week, go to the bachelor party, think everything's fine...and cut to sexxxay!Ziva and Gibbs firing their weapons on the street! BOOM!
Why would she be in a pretty short dress and..armed? Are they usually armed when they go to parties outside work? What leads me into thinking that maybe, Gibbs will "stage" something to catch someone, no?
Even so, Gibbs is armed too. And if you compare Gibbs clothes on the promo, with what he's wearing on the promotional photos where the guys are on the street at the bachelor party... It's the same clothes, and the same street... I guess Palmer's party will end with a bang... literally!
My hunch about the bachelor party: Mark Harmon said in the ET interview that everybody will be involved in the bachelor party but NOT in the way you expect. My gut is saying that this will not be the official bachelor party but a bait of some kind. They are going to find a "bug" in one of Dornegets teeth, hence him being at the "party" and not for instance Ducky. Ziva in a skimpy dress? (Who looks fantastic btw) She's gonna pose as the stripper (no joke, I seriously think this will be the plan)
I agree on Dearing, he's not the main baddy but a pion in a larger group (most terrorist actions are carried out by a group of extremists)
AHA! I knew there was something fishy about the whole scenario...the men all together in the street, then Ziva appears dressed up on the same street and they're all armed... I think you're totally right (not sure about the stripper - but it would be funny! xD) - I'm on board with that theory! :D
Lovely screen caps and excellent review as always. What I found most interesting was where you said why would a man like Dearing use his own name when hiring these assasins and not an alias. I had the exact same question running through my mind and even asked it on the forum the day after the ep. I wonder if that guy who's running the company for Dearing is trying to set him up.
I too loved the part where Tony said Ziva's probably lost trying to get them the food and it turned out that she was actually lost (I would be too in a ship like that, it was like a maze) and my favorites were 'Dinosey' and where Tony said to Ziva that if she tells McGee he was sea sick, he'll put the photos on the company website. Lol!
I did think Abby looked rather mournful when Gibbs left without thanking her or giving her a kiss as he usually did.
As usual, I think you were spot on with just about everything. And I agree. The whole Tiva part of the episode, to me, seemed like Ziva and Tony flirting. Honestly, it reminded me of things I've read about some animals (though I've never seen it in person, because our animals are all fixed and there aren't really any wild ones, so don't know if it's true) getting ready to mate. The things I've happened to read mention the female flicking her tail at the male to tease him and entice him and some species the female then runs for a game of chase before the mating. That's totally what the Tiva is feeling like to me. Tony is interested, Ziva is interested, and they both know the other is interested, but they aren't sure if the other knows they know they are intereseted. So they tease and flirt, and Ziva plays a bit of hard to get and catches his interest. Then she runs a bit by doing things like flirt with Stan, or even Jason from last episode, because she knows Tony will take notice and start chasing. They may still be playing

I know they are huge. My Grandpa is retired Navy, and I've spent quite a bit of my life touring them when I could and looking at scale models of them, especially aircraft carriers like he was on. He even said they can be a bit confusing. I don't know...It just felt like Ziva wouldn't have seemed as lost as they made her out to be. A little bit, sure, but not tons. Plus, and this could just be me, I'd think a Navy officer would probably be at least slightly familiar with a Navy vessel, so I'd think they would have had Ziva's character be a bit better at navigating them (they could always say she'd been on them a time or two in other cases, even if they were cases we weren't shown) so as to not arouse suspicion, since Stan went and made her an officer. I'm not in the Navy, so I don't really know, but I'd think it would look suspicious to have a Navy officer on board who seems as lost as a gal just out of the Academy. Especially since, for her to be newly joining them in Naples, she'd have had to fly or be on a different ship from
