NCIS - Two-Faced

Ah, some brilliant television!  I know I do love NCIS, but this really is incredibly well written and acted.  This looks like the start of a major storyline as we careen toward the explosive season eight finale.  The story has the body of a seaman found wrapped in plastic, dressed in the uniform of a Captain with his throat cut.  It is revealed he is not the first to be found this way.  In fact, Agent E J Barrett has been tracking the killer from Spain around the world, now known as the Port to Port killer.  He also always leaves a clue in an ice cube and a flower petal is found in a cube in the victim's fridge.  Vance gives Barret the lead in the investigation and she ends up clashing with Gibbs who discovers that she is sleeping with Tony.  Gibbs puts a stop to the relationship. Meanwhile, we finally meet Ziva's boyfriend, Ray, played by Without a Trace's Enrique Murciano.  It is revealed he is a secret CIA liaison which brings their relationship into question.  The team think they have caught the killer twice.  Firstly a disgruntled guy who the seaman had tried to steal his girl from, but the Ray reveals it can't be him.  Secondly is a retired war hero who was in all the places the crimes were committed.  When they arrive at his home, they find him wrapped and frozen in his freezer.  The episode ends with Ziva and Tony drinking in a bar when the bar tender gives them a drink, which he says was from a guy sitting in booth.  They find the person has left.  Then they realise the ice cube in the drink has an eye in it!  Can't wait to see the next episode!  Love a good cliffhanger!
