I like Gibbs' line to her about putting her brother down; what she says is very younger sister like and it's right that he calls her on it.
I like the revelation of McGee's book. I like that he puts his sister first and is willing to resign for her sake. McGee is delightfully awkward trying to resist Gibbs' determination that he shall not investigate (it's nice to see they carry that rule over to Tony as well, in Sins of the Fathers).
I like the scene between Jeanne and Tony when they're talking about why they haven't had sex yet. "If you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you always got, and while what I always got had its perks, I'm looking for something different now."
I don't really like the episode. It's hard to put my finger on why. In terms of the murder, McGee's sister is a red herring (literally, since she turns up on his doorstep covered in blood). Once you remove all the distractions, the mystery wasn't very hard to solve. Maybe it's because the subplot with Tony takes up too much attention. Maybe it's the attitude of the head cheerleader, that a woman deserves to be raped for saying mean things. Anyway, this is another I don't watch often, and rarely all the way through.
