![]() The other note about Tony was that he's finally learning that he doesn't have to watch his back with Bishop. I like how Ducky – probably being the only one in the room immune to Gibbs' heat – was the one to take the bull by the horns: he's saying take a breath, Jethro! He knew Gibbs was spoiling for a fight, which is why he was so careful about it. Speaking of Gibbs being wound up: this is the second time we've seen Tony confront Gibbs about his behavior toward the team. Their intense conversations and actions at that cabin and lake proved that the episode writer was at the top of his game. It shows that if you want someone to be open and vulnerable you sometimes have to make yourself vulnerable as well. And that was the only way he could get Tobias to open up at all. He knew full well Fornell didn't blame him for Diane's death, yet he continued in that vein, thereby displaying his own angst over getting her killed (as he put it). I think this is the first time I've seen Gibbs be this subtle. It was a good strategy, though once the fighting was done, they could get down to the gristle of what was bothering Fornell. With Gibbs being wound up tight over Mishnev, I was surprised that he didn't give as good as he got when Fornell laced him. Those were some intense moments in that cabin. Mind you, Gibbs said it wasn't an intervention but then again, what's the definition of something like that? Isn't it a time when you confront someone about their problem and not let them off the hook? Which is exactly what he did. Who starts off by inventing a drunk to drink himself to death? If that was an intervention that Gibbs pulled, it's unlike anything I've ever seen before. His excuses to Gibbs the next day were pitiful: he had "just cracked" the bourbon, and his condition was a result of a beer at dinner combined with some medication he takes to alleviate the pain he gets from the time when Gibbs shot him in the ass.Īnyone who's ever been around an alcoholic in denial has heard similar stories before. I have to admit: I laughed out loud when he offered that one up. State Trooper Johnson: What do we have there?įornell: It's okay.
