I hear you all.
LEMERE WASN’T DEAD.
On the other hand, I really should’ve trusted Gibbs.

Because as Gibbs calmly tells a furious Parker, he didn’t take a kill shot.
The surgeon confirms it: Just a millimeter off and LeMere would’ve been leaving in a body bag.
Vance agrees to this as long as Parker provides an escort.
But hey, at least the evidence supports this trip.
Is this… legal?
Lawyers, weigh in!
Then he became a cop and lost himself in the bottle due to his grief.
This is a trick, of course.
When Parker steps aside to call HQ, Gibbs hops into the SUV and peels off.
Yeah, Parker really should’ve seen that coming.
After all, didn’t Gibbs kill the man who murdered Shannon and Kelly?
Also, how many of his kills during 25 years as an agent really deserved to die?
Instead, he puts LeMere back in the car to resume their trip.
But the destination isn’t what Gibbs was expecting.
He also stashed weapons all over the place and keeps comparing himself to Gibbs.
Bold delusions of grandeur there, my dude.
Then he recommends Gibbs visit the fishing village of Naktok Bay.
Message delivered, LeMere steps back onto a buried explosive that kills him instantly.
Rule 38, Sonia!
But LeMere’s dying words help crack the case.
Unlucky victims chosen to make the other four deaths look random.
Stray shots
