The first part of the episode did suffer from a rather obvious investigatory error following the autopsy. It remains to be seen if Hicks turns into one of the truly memorable villains of NCIS, but I have high hopes. The obvious choice is to attempt to tie Hicks to the other murders since they can't retry him for the death of the unfortunate Lt. I do hope that our heroes don't let this challenge go unmet. Accusing NCIS of framing him was a nice touch. Hamilton gave Hicks just the right amount of charming innocence and righteous indignation that it seemed entirely possible that he really was innocent. Props to Graham Hamilton for the sadistic smirk Hicks had on his face as he teased/tortured Gibbs and Sloane with the knowledge that he just got away with murder. : I’ve been carrying this around so long, I didn’t know the right thing anymore. I’ve been carrying this around so long, I didn’t know the right thing anymore.

And it was this action that later directly resulted in Hicks being freed. (After all, if he suppressed evidence in one.)įornell should not have suppressed the evidence in the first place. Most notably, of course, in taking revenge on the man who killed his wife and daughter.īy telling the truth about his interview with Mary Smith, Gibbs will likely end Fornell's career in the FBI, and also potentially causing numerous other cases to be challenged. While a low blow, Fornell wasn't wrong that Gibbs has acted as judge and jury (and executioner) in the past. The argument with Gibbs at the house featured several key points: Or did I miss something?Īnyway, we were left with the realization that Fornell acted as judge and jury, intentionally burying the evidence to ensure the Hicks conviction. This does beg the question as for how he found her since it took ten years of improvements to Major Mass Spec for Abby to identify the trace evidence that led to the store that led to the nephew that led to her. So the discovery that Fornell located and interviewed Mary Smith during the original investigation definitely hurt. Joe Spano and Mark Harmon play so well off each other, don't they? It many ways, the Gibbs and Fornell are so much alike, and Fornell is one of the few characters Gibbs calls a friend.
