NCIS Season 7 Episode 23: Patriot Down



The team is shocked when they discover that a charred corpse found on the beach belongs to Special Agent Lara Macy, a fellow NCIS agent and a close friend of Gibbs. They discover that Macy’s current case was the rape of a Navy sailor. While they manage to find the rapist, the case is completely unrelated to the murder. Meanwhile, Abby confronts Gibbs about the murder he committed in Mexico, asking him what to do, and Gibbs simply tells her to do her job and file the full report. Gibbs soon becomes convinced that Colonel Bell is responsible and leaves for Mexico. When he finally arrives, he finds Mike Franks’ house burned to the ground as well as the bodies of several of Bell’s men. Gibbs is then captured by one of Bell’s henchmen, who reveals that the body that Gibbs thought was Franks is in fact Colonel Bell. Gibbs is then knocked unconscious before he can ask the henchman who he’s really working for.
