(138-word review) I was somewhat surprised by this episode; part of me must've subconsciously been expecting another weak one. Probably with each episode (or most episodes) until the finale or whichever episode(s) involves the plotline that results in something significant: I'll say nothing more than that for the sake of anyone watching this for the first time who may read this; if you know, you know.
But luckily, so far, this has been the best episode of the season: well-written, good character moments (involving Tony; showing a different side to him when questioning the female bartender that added needed depth to his character, but also the comedic aspect of the karma thing, as well as between Ducky and Gibbs), a compelling atmosphere, which invested in engagement; the first three episodes don't compare. More episodes like this one will be great.
