Harm and Meg are in Washington D. C. in the fourth episode of JAG's "lost" season one, investigating the murder of a USN officer at Arlington National Cemetery after a function at the Thai embassy. They earn the ire of Metro PD Detective Axelrad who is also tasked with solving the murder and the people in charge at the Thai embassy as well, with a very good twist at the end. In many regards, the episode is quite reminiscent of an NCIS episode.
The saxophone-loving Commander Lindsey is temporarily in charge of JAG replacing Admiral Brovo, who has apparently departed to an unknown posting. The new JAG commander seems to be a bit of a naive fool, especially when it comes to matters of state and plausibility deniability. Not sure what the producers were going for there, but it doesn't work. The officer in charge of the Judge Advocate General is no slouch when it comes to politics and playing the game in DC. Certainly, Lindsey has none of the gravitas and hard edges of future JAG commander Admiral AJ Chegwidden.
Importantly, "Deja Vu" fleshes out some more of Harm's backstory, seeing him recall his bid to find his missing POW father in Vietnam, because he sees a woman at the Thai embassy who reminds him of a woman he knew whilst there. Harm's search for his father would, of course, become a major subplot throughout many seasons of JAG.
