SQUAD ROOM - DAY "CONSPIRACY THEORY"(TONY DOES SIT-UPS B.G.) TONY: Thirteen, fifteen, seventeen... nineteen... KATE: Did you lose something down there, DiNozzo? TONY: Ninety nine, a hundred. Just doing my morning exercise. KATE: Right. So how old's this one? TONY: Why does it always have to be another woman, Kate? KATE: Uh, because we're talking about you? MCGEE: Got your favorite here. Bacon-sausage-cheese breakfast burrito. TONY: I'll pass. Too much fat. MCGEE: She must be really young. ABBY: Oh, she is. TONY: I don't think they need to know about her, Abs. ABBY: She's five ten, black hair, long legs, and gi-normous headlights. TONY: That last part was really necessary? ABBY: That is what you called them. She broke down by the Navy Yard last night, and Tony helped her out. KATE: Oh, I bet he did. ABBY: She's a junior at Georgetown. KATE: Hmm. So that would make her what, about twenty? MCGEE: Actually, she could be younger. I was eighteen when I was a junior at MIT. TONY: When we need clarification, we'll ask for it, Probie. Thank you. KATE: Oh, I'm asking. How old, Abby? ABBY: Well, she was old enough to turn Tony down
SUMMARY:
Gibbs and his team are called to investigate a possible crime when a petty officer named Jessica Smith reveals that she was attacked by a man wearing battle fatigues and body armor but there's no such evidence to suggest that it took place. Her therapist Lt. Witten reveals that Smith has paranoid delusions which she believes was triggered by the death of her fiancee in Iraq the month before. Things take a shocking turn when Gibbs and Kate later find Smith dead in her room, having hung herself but Ducky later discovers she was already dead and the hanging was staged. With the help of FBI Special Agent Tobias Fornell, Gibbs and the team find out that she and her colleagues and their CO were embroiled in an ongoing investigation and suspect someone might have tried to silence Jessica. Meanwhile, when Kate reveals a secret of Tonys to humiliate him, he plays his ace by showing her a copy of an embarrassing photo of Kate at a sorority spring break party (which he discovered at the end of the last episode) and uses it as leverage to terrorize her.
