Sounds like an interesting episode. I can already feel that it's going to be a spooky-Halloween episode... As usual

[shinebrighterxx]

Early Halloween ep. Pity there's no new ep next week as then they could've had Halloween a few days before Halloween. Still nice that they'll have a Halloween ep though

Thanks for the thread

[nuwanda]

thanks for the thread.

case sounds interesting

[fall into your smile]

The case was interesting.

[maplezbear]

This wasn't really a Halloween episode... at least I don't remember anything Halloween-y about it. Ok, well maybe the Crows.

Interesting case That's horrible that guy took advantage of Laney like that though and used her to 'help' murder the crow guy.

Funny when Torres was the one hypnotized I'd like to know what was in the letter

And very nice that Gibbs helped the boy across the street with his baseball practice.

[florerr]

Agreed! It didn't feel like a Halloween episode at all...

Loved the episode! The case was interesting, I was surprised by the spin of events...

Torres was hilarious! He was the one "pranked" for once Would love to see the letter too...

Loved Gibbs helping out the new neighbours!

Also Kasie did well by going over & beyond with the gun... If not for her Palmer wouldn't have gone back to check the woman's medical files...

Edited: Bishop also asked about Emily's case. Gibbs said that Fornell "gave" the case to ATF... I wonder if we'll meet the Canadian drug cartel later on or not...

What a lovely episode. Glad that Laney was able to get general discharge at the end so she can get proper medical help.

Loved the callback to when McGee was hypnotised that one time all those years ago for a case. Torres was hilarious, I love how he was the one who got hypnotised.

Gibbs helping out his new neighbours was nice, I liked how the boy was so sweet and gave him his own lunch money to pay for accidentally breaking Gibbs' window. And then Gibbs buying him proper baseball gloves, such a sweet ending.

I dunno, but it would be interesting if we did.

[florerr]

The ep had so many great moments in overall!

Even if we don't "meet" the Canadian cartel, it was nice from the writers to include something about Emily's case... I mean the season premiere was completely focused on Ziva being back without giving any info about the "Fornell-case"

Gibbs of course reacts with his gun to the smash sound. Poor kid was probably worried he'll get in trouble for it. Love how he says he'll buy Gibbs a new window

The poor woman thinking she'd slept through the night & then being faced with evidence making her doubt that

Hypnotised to kill sounds scary

Funny how Torres got hypnotised instead of Ellie

Ellie clearly had no problem stealing Torres lollypop

Why couldn't we get to see Torres doing things under hypnosis?

'Facegram' & 'interchat' That's close Gibbs...

That's really good that Kasie & Palmer looked back over things & saw that she'd been framed

The guy who did it - how awful of him to frame another patient like that

Not surprised Gibbs helped out his neighbour but still wonderful to see

[florerr]

Loved how Ellie stole the lollipop from him...

Gibbs is getting tech-savy... And he also became a sort of influencer by the end of the ep...
