Huh. Possibly anti-climactic season ender for NCIS. Gibbs seems to be too off the hook, professionally, for what seems clearly, legally, a crime.
I was disappointed. I thought it was a very boring finale, but I hope Gibb's dad doesn't get hurt.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I hope Gibb's dad doesn't get hurt.
Me too. I had a whole internal dialogue about it.
"She turned the sign to 'closed', so he knows something's up."
"Didn't he keep a shotgun in the store?"
"I think so, but does he have time to get to it, and can he bring himself to fire on a woman?"
Very tense making, though not quite as uncomfortable as the fear that Gibbs and wasserface might kiss...

But the biggest lesson of Law & Order? Justice may not always prevail, but even when it doesn't, the good guys have a scotch, go home, and come back to work the next morning. That's character.

Glurg.
I was very reassured by Gibbs circling "Don't Involve Lawyers" so definitively.
And Frank's "I can pull the trigger with my thumb" is very badass.

I'm hoping it's a trap. They know what she is up to, as does Vance now, and Gibbs did warn his dad to stay somewhere else. I'm still disappointed that no one found a reason to shoot the lawyer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
can he bring himself to fire on a woman?
If he can't, I won't mourn him. Idiot.

I'm sure he can when she poses a very real threat, but I worry about hestitation

I can't respect not being able to assess a situation and take a woman into consideration as a serious threat. Really evaporates my sympathy.
