So, you're writing the script for NCIS Season 15 Episode 23, which followed directly after a big dramatic episode that saw two leads depart the series. Do you go for a somber reflection, or a more light-hearted tale?
"Fallout" tried to do both at the same time, resulting in a curious mash-up of the depressing and the ridiculous as Team Gibbs mourned the death of Reeves and departure of Abby and investigated the attempted murder of a Navy captain.
Gibbs appeared to spend most of the episode wondering why he was friends with Phil Brooks, who came across as a complete cloudcuckoolander. Their interactions provided much of the comedy.
Despite seeing it coming a mile away, I loved Gibbs' jump-scare double-take at discovering reports of his friend's death had been greatly exaggerated. Then there was this hilarious exchange:
Brooks: You wanna chime in?
Gibbs: Nope. Still waitin’.
Brooks: For?
Gibbs: The reason you are down here!
