ZACH: Uh, Dad? Balloons are for babies. TANNER: Right. What about that cotton candy? Is that still... ZACH: Oh, no. That's fine. We could share it after my ride. TANNER: I'll try to save you some. It looks awfully good to me. ZACH: Dad! After the ride! I'll be watching you. (MUSIC OVER ACTION/ZACH RIDES THE CAROUSEL) (F/X: MEN APPROACH TANNER) ZACH: Dad! (PASSAGE OF TIME) ZACH: Dad!

MCGEE: Yeah, while Ziva and I were out, she asked me to show her the best routes to work. You know, her driving's gotten a lot better. Barely broke any laws this time. TONY: Let me get this straight. Ziva asked you, who can barely navigate the Navy Yard, to show her the best way to work? MCGEE: That's right. TONY: Well, what about me? I know every shortcut in the metro area. I could shave ten minutes off her commute like that! MCGEE: I don't know what to tell you. TONY: It doesn't make any sense. Unless -- maybe I intimidate her. MCGEE: Yeah, I'm sure that's it. TONY: I've seen it happen before. It's a chemical thing. Hard to explain. ZIVA: I do hope you try.
SUMMARY:
Gibbs befriends a young boy after his father, a Lt. Commander, is kidnapped. The Lt. Commander had been working on a classified project named Honor and is the only person who knows the code keys to the encryption. The release of the code keys can pose a serious threat to national security. Although the evidence gathered by Gibb's team suggests that the Lt. Commander was a part of the scheme, Gibbs believes otherwise due to the strong bond between the Lt. Commander and his son. While they solve the case, each of the team members take turns babysitting the boy.
