Once a Hero (04x08)
Error. Card keys are anonymous. You can't tell from looking at them what they do and don't open. Even if the master key is a different pattern from the guest keys, there's no way to look at it and know whose key it is. Plus, every hotel I've ever been in still uses metal keys for the master keys.
Ziva has switched from giving Tony a hard time to giving McGee one. She's not as harsh with McGee. I do like the way he tangled himself up when she asked whether she had a bag, and he almost said she wasn't a woman and then said she wasn't a normal woman. This could've been hash, but because he catches himself and admits her position has merit, it isn't. In return, she reports to Gibbs that the victim's bag is missing.
Tony is suffering from sleep deprivation, spending late nights out with Jeanne and long days investigating. The premiere of the second cell phone.
Introduction of Abby's boyfriend, Marty. Unfortunately, this is going to be a short lived romance as the actor died. They did a very good job of introducing him, and it was nice to see that there's a piece of equipment that Abby doesn't have. It's also quite realistic that budget realities mean she isn't likely to get it in the near future, either. Where it departs from reality is that Marty walks away from a very expensive piece of machinery without a thought when he and Abby decide to go bowling.
Also the introduction of Palmer the sex machine. He and Lee go at it like rabbits. Palmer—unsurprisingly—is a very bad liar. I have a very hard time believing he's actually putting anything over on Ducky.
Michelle Lee does a very good job under cover for an agent who appears very nervous around weapons. However, at the end, she makes two rookie mistakes (that the villain does not take advantage of). She's standing too close to him, and she looks away while pointing her weapon. He could've kicked it out of her hand and taken her hostage before the other agents could shoot. Lee was a very good character and the work she does during season four and five makes the revelation that she's a mole strike even harder in season six.
There are pieces of this I really like, and it certainly takes on social issues, if a little superficially. They manage to combine sex trafficking and homeless vets in a single episode. I can't remember if they revisit sex trafficking, but the homeless vets issue is revisited in season eleven.
