Jimmy doesn’t leave the morgue often, but in NCIS Season 22 Episode 14, he proves that his special skills may sometimes prove valuable.
Jimmy often becomes a stupid ball, and he doesn’t keep much extra screen time, but “close to home” proves it.
Adding his teenage daughter Victoria, you can almost imagine them opening their own father-daughter detective companies like Carson and Nancy Drew.
It all started with Jimmy’s daughter Victoria discovering the $35 grand behind the Navy Library bin instead of telling her father that she called Nick.
Of course, why she had to look behind the trash can first, it made no sense. Wandering around the trash can isn’t anyone’s to-do list library.
It took a while, but she finally admitted to attending a party at an abandoned construction site when she claimed that a science fair project was underway.
Meanwhile, Kasie discovered that the money was related to a bank robbery 15 years ago. She was happy to talk about the Saratoga Specter, a bank robber who never abandoned evidence.
But a bag of money provides a lot of information, including fingerprints that connect a guy named Carson Marconne to the robbery.
When Jess and Nick visit Marconne, they find his body, a bag, on his head, suffocating him to death.
Jimmy was very upset, and Victoria completely left Jimmy with the equation, bypassed him, and instead called Uncle Nick.
But when they think they have recently had one of the most elusive bank robbers in history, Jesse poured rain on the NCIS parade: Carson Marcona is not a ghost. This may mean that Victoria hasn’t explained the full truth of the money.
When Marconne’s connection leads to another interesting dead end, it turns out to be the fact: surveillance cameras revealed that Victoria didn’t find money in the library because she was never there – they could prove it.
We have videos of you not there.
– Jimmy
Jimmy’s attempt to play Jess with Victoria’s good cops is very interesting, like when he notices she looks a little high, he tells her that there are some almonds but doesn’t like them.
You can say that their connection is very close, and this is due to teenage anxiety and a dad who would rather trust his daughter, just started to collapse.
Jimmy slammed when Victoria told him why she called Nick instead of him. Essentially, she did this because Nick was a federal agent and Jimmy was just a medical examiner. Ouch. He smiled at her answer like any good father, but still stings.
The Palmer family’s ties with the ghost increased when Kasie suggested that he might live in the same neighborhood. Parker used the case to remind everyone how he put down Philly Phantom, the third outstanding jewelry thief in Philadelphia.
Parker: I caught Philly Phantom from the one hundred dollars he left at the bar.
Nick: Yes. I bet you killed in this story of Crimican.
Parker: I’m indeed, Nick. People love it.
We often no longer see criminals in the media, but if someone intends to get them, the innocent type of robbery seems to be the most likely.
Strangely, entertainment is full of them, and in real life, even DB Cooper doesn’t have such cool things as Saratoga Specter or Philly Phantom.
While visiting Jimmy’s neighborhood, Jess tries to give him an inspiring speech about Victoria’s “Just Me” comment, but he does not really feel frustrated by it. He just wanted to get closer to Victoria again.
If he wants to get close to his daughter, Briarwood security guard Rhonda is back with Jimmy and Jess. The protests from Jess and Jimmy made me wonder what was wrong. I guess they are just relationships on the same page.
Too bad, because Jimmy isn’t annoying when he’s more involved in other roles and cases. When one commenter suggested that there were no Jimmy and Kasie’s show that could do this, I realized that it was because they often don’t get a good story-driven plot.
Kasie plays the Agents during NCIS Season 22 Episode 12, while Jimmy’s round proves how pleasant they can be when they aren’t pushed too far off the field.
As the team continues to investigate, Nick and Parker talk to a detective who is totally obsessed with Parker and calls him the living legend who captures Philly Phantom.
Nick doesn’t necessarily like Parker’s spotlight, but in our favor, Nick “child” (Nick asked him not), son and sports, he exercised Parker.
It’s always fun to see Nick uncomfortable making up for his “Perfect Specimen” performance, like NCIS Season 22 Episode 13.
Jimmy even made himself a concern by inviting his neighbors to the opening ceremony happy hour, gathering evidence with his spicy sangia to collect evidence from the Briarwood suspect without even asking for permission.
Despite wearing some annoying spy glasses, his role in Happy Hour is still himself. Jimmy is a terrible liar, so anything else will be stretched out. Therefore, he maintained his role as “the doctor of the calf”, radiating drinks, and gathering evidence.
When Wendy (Erinn Hayes) bumped into him, I immediately thought she had moved into Briarwood’s home two weeks ago because she would be Saratoga Specter. They got to know each other a little, and some of the looks on her face made her look sketchy.
The night is filled with evidence that Kasie is playable. They need to work quickly until anyone is overtaken by Jimmy and Jimmy and Victoria’s lives.
However, Victoria did have the opportunity to talk to Jesse about Jimmy’s parenting. He has always been a top-notch helicopter parent, popping his head out and asking if she often wants grilled cheese.
Like any sane adult, McGee found this stunning attention and care. However, this may only occur with age, and when someone cares about your every move will fill your heart with emotions.
None of the suspects they expected were proven to be feasible, but someone in this match was a match for Wendy – a family match. Of course, she didn’t know what was going on, but it made sense when she said her father admitted the robbery from hospice.
I got lost after that, like the story took us back to nearby security agent Rhonda. After all, she is not the stupid professional portrayed to the public.
But she was bad enough for being the culprit of being a crime mastermind that she never put together Jimmy could set her up with her seemingly innocent conversation with Victoria. As Parker said, “Do you really think Jimmy will kiss a boy secretly?”
Ultimately, the money is hidden in Wendy’s pipeline, which is why Carson visits frequently. Once he found some of them, he was always looking for more. Rhonda was watching nearby and when Carson found the cash, she faced him, asking to know where he found the money.
But what makes no sense is why Carson traveled to Wendy’s place to get money multiple times, and he decided to hide it in an abandoned construction site, or how she deleted his upcoming record in Briarwood to keep a record of his own things, and Rhonda never followed him.
I think that would make it too easy to resolve the case and prevent us from learning more about Jimmy’s relationship with Victoria.
Sometimes, NCIS resolves cases too quickly to make sense. I would say this is my biggest complaint about the show. After the entire investigation, don’t wrap up without ensuring it makes sense to the audience.
We should be able to follow the logic from each step.
