The Case of the Week wasn't all that enthralling on NCIS Season 12 Episode 2.
It centered on a murderer lieutenant was on his way to visit his basketball buddy... the President of the United States.
This connection, as you might expect, forced Gibbs and company to work especially hard (and covert) in order to determine the killer and whether or not POTUS was in danger.
In the end, however, the resolution was fairly anti-climactic: there were some government secrets involved... a company that yearned to keep everything quiet... and a company manager who was willing to commit homicide to ensure all remained hush-hush.
There was some misdirection involving a mugger, but it wasn't difficult to determine that the company CEO was involved as soon as we met him.
So this aspect of the episode was a bit boring and very predictable.
But two personal elements of NCIS Season 12 Episode 2 stood out this week:
FIRST, after learning Vance doesn't have his affairs in order (he's still a mess following the death of his wife), we watched as this leader suffered a pretty major health scare.
Were we going to lose him to cancer, a diseased that has touched so many viewers and which NCIS tackled here with grace and respect?
No. Fortunately, the smile on Ducky's after the biopsy belied positive news: Vance has a relatively harmless virus, one that mimicks the appearance of cancer on x-rays and CAT scans. He's gonna make it.
SECOND, Abby has a new love interest! Both she and the suitor have tattoos and both seem quite smitten with one another. It's early, but let's hope this goes somewhere. Wouldn't it be fun to see Abby with a steady boyfriend?
Also, Tony teased Bishop about having phone sex and said he misses the sexual harassment seminar every year. Gotta love Tony.
What did you think about this NCIS installment? Did the personal storylines make up for the watered down investigation?
