Okay, he's probably gay. He looked totally creeped out by us. JENNIFER: What are you talking about? He's into you. NIKKI: No way! JENNIFER: Yeah, here. Write your number down.

TONY: I was just admiring them, Jenny. Flowers are a passion of mine. SHEPARD: Really? So then you'd know how rare and expensive they are. TONY: Oh yeah. SHEPARD: And their name. TONY: Of course. Um, well, judging by the color and of course the green things they're attached to... SHEPARD: Stems. TONY: Stems. Uh, these... are right on the tip of my tongue. SHEPARD: Phaleonopsis orchids. TONY: Orchids. Of course, they're orchids. This flipped out when I was sniffing them. SHEPARD: Tony. How would you rate your recent performance as team leader? TONY: I'd say it was a solid "B." Minus. I'm being fired, aren't I? SHEPARD: In a manner of speaking, yes. TONY: If this has to do with Gibbs coming back, I have no problem working for him. SH
SUMMARY:
Gibbs returns to NCIS and leads his team to investigate the kidnapping of a Navy Lieutenant, who is a computer specialist. They discover that the Lieutenant had used her military knowledge to profile potential husbands and was attending speed dating events. When they suspect that the kidnapper may continue attending the event in order to avoid suspicion, Ziva goes undercover at a speed-dating event to identify him. In addition, Tony is offered a promotion - and his own team - as a reward for his performance as team leader while Gibbs was retired but declines and remains in Gibbs' team.
