This episode guest stars JoBeth Williams (Poltergeist) as an ex-Navy officer who embezzled millions of dollars of retired Navy personnel's retirement funds. All of her property was seized but the missing money was never found.
NCIS, along with numerous other government departments, is going through some reshuffling and downsizing. One of the staff members who who was fired, turns up stabbed to death with his car boot filled with property he had stolen from the woman's seized belongings. Gibbs questions her and she says she will name the killer if she can get out of prison. Against Vance's wishes, Gibbs grants her house arrest, but the killer's name she gives had turned up dead that morning as well. It turns out the real killer is a mobster who tried to launder his money through the ex-Navy officer but she ripped him off as well! Now he wants her account book that details where the money is. He turns up at the house and chases her outside, where the killer and her are arrested. He for the murders and she for breaking the terms of her house arrest. This also allows Gibbs to get the account book to locate all the missing money.
Meanwhile, due to the budget cuts, Vance had to bring the Spanish team back to Washington DC. It is headed by Agent E J Barrett. Tony divulges to her that he had been offered that role but decided to stay with his team. They seem to get romantically entangled in the staff showers. Of course this episode is directed by Michael Weatherly who plays Tony!
