(SCENE CUT)
KATE: (INTO PHONE) We followed the trail backwards. ABBY: Amanda murdered Pacci. Chris wanted you to find that. GIBBS: Chris Pacci was murdered. GIBBS: I want a copy of their names and a list of the floors they work on. GIBBS: Kate and I will take the first shift. GIBBS: To rent. GIBBS: We're going to pick up where Chris left off. Give me some direction. Guy steals millions of dollars, makes it look like he's dead, has his girlfriend buy the old family home. Heard about it for days. I got a call in to the real estate agent who sold it to Amanda Reed. It's a cold case. MCGEE: Coming. MCGEE: Special Agent Pacci filled out a requisition for the same equipment and never picked it up. Seems to be a regular. Stake out time. TONY: I'm filling in for him on the case. TONY: What? TONY: You know, the quicker you get this done, the more quality time you have to spend with a certain tattooed forensic technician of the Goth persuasion. Then to a pharmacy to pick up a prescription. Tony's on a date with a guy. Waiting to hear back from her. When Commander Voss died, all he had was savings that were reasonable for a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy, which is why I'm not certain he did it. Work goes on. You find out who she is and where she is.

Summary: Special Agent Chris Pacci is brutally murdered while investigating a cold case, prompting a guilt-ridden Gibbs to step in and take over the case while attempting to find Pacci's killer. Picking up from where Pacci left off with McGee's assistance, the team follows the trail of millions of dollars embezzled by Navy Lt. Cmdr. Hamilton Voss (who died before trial), and is led to a mysterious woman named Amanda Reed ( Jamie Luner ) who seems to appear near wherever Voss has been stationed. The agents take shifts conducting a stake-out on the woman's house, until Tony is caught raiding the mailbox. Forced to improvise, he introduces himself as a resident of the neighborhood and strikes up a conversation based on what he had heard via surveillance. This gives him a chance to get close to the suspect in order to find out more, as he goes on a successful date with her. Meanwhile, Abby makes a shocking discovery which turns the direction of the case and will give Kate something to mock Tony about for time to come.
