I think the writers are being rather obvious the way they're setting up the German guy as a suspect. He calls Gibbs stupid, he was the one who found the body, he's trying really hard to convince everyone that she committed suicide—in real life, this would probably mean he either did it or was involved. In TV life, it means he's a red herring. Another bit of TV life: people being tied to the bed for hours and hours without it ending up soiled.
The scenes with Tony and Jeanne are good. Tony is jealous. I can't believe that he doesn't also know how dangerous this is, not because of her father and what La Grenouille would do if he knew, but because Tony is undercover and falling in love. It is a true dilemma for him.
I'm not that great a fan of the Tony singing on the street corner scene. I think it's well done, I just don't think it's very realistic. Anyone walking by could easily figure out who he's watching (even if they might not figure out why). Plus, he does get made by Trent.
I like the scene between McGee and Abby where she's talking about a movie and McGee says "Still not Tony" because she's trying to get him to remember a movie he doesn't know.
Palmer's affair is getting more blatant all the time. I just can't believe that Ducky doesn't know something is going on. I wouldn't put it past him to be teasing Palmer by pretending to be fooled.
As an episode showing us cool things that are really under development, this episode can't be beaten. The automatic car was cool. The method of death was clever. I do like this.
