Oh, my kingdom for Torres hypnosis outtakes.
Gibbss morning gets off to a rough start this week when a baseball comes crashing through his front window.
Gibbss morning is definitely better than Marine Cpl.
Michael Yarish/CBS
Laney Alimontes, though.
She suffers from terrible insomnia and is thrilled to have finally slept through the night thanks to hypnosis.
She calls her therapist to thank him, butdun dun dunfinds a mysterious bloody gun in her fridge.
NCIS arrives and identifies the 9mm as belonging to Joe Cortez, who lives two miles away.
When Bishop and Torres get to Joes place, they find him dead of a gunshot to the heart.
Also of note: Joes license plate says Crowtez, which is adorable.
RIP, Low Joe.
Also, Joes missing signet ring was found in Laneys car.
Enter Dr. Grace Confalone, whos always a welcome guest star.
(In this scenario, bear = Joe.)
Torres hunkers down to watch and, naturally, ends up as the hypnotized party.
Let the games begin.
GEE I WONDER HOW THIS WILL END.
Um, thats not a sign pointing to innocence.
In Sloanes office, a still-hasnt-slept Laney dreamily talks about needing to water her neighbors orchid that night.
Then things start to break Laneys way.
So who framed Laney?
She doesnt know Joes dead, so Torres and Bishop use their millennial chat-speak to set up a meeting.
Its the fussy guy from the waiting room!
Gibbs spills coffee on him shoves pictures of Joes messy house in his face and the OCD husband cracks.
I hereby petition that every episode ends with Gibbs playing catch and smiling in the sunshine.
