With Gary Cole's Parker character now evaluating whether to take the gig as the Gibbs replacement (and Tim McGee explaining to Torres how he would never want the Gibbs workload given the devastating effect on "family life"), it is clear to see how Director Leon Vance (and the NCIS CBS writing team) want this to play out.
Some back-to-the-old-days silliness about an exploding body (and some hilarity later in the episode regarding an explosive pacemaker) merely reinforce the sense that the old mojo is back, with the ensemble cast.
Everyone works hard, there are a couple of red herrings but the episode hangs together solidly.
I liked it (a lot) and look forward to the rest of Season 19 (which British TV is binge-viewing, three or four episodes every weekday night in JAN2024 to FEB2024). "Hello, Domino's...?"
