We open on a man dragging a heavy suitcase from a hotel room. He takes it down the hall and dumps it down the trash chute. When it lands in the bin, it opens to reveal its contents: a dead body. He then goes to check out and uses Tony's name.

Tony's at his desk pouring soda water into a glass when Tim and Ziva arrive. When Ziva greets him, Tony pulls an earplug out of his ear and answers their questions in a voice that sounds like he's about to puke his guts out. We learn that there were visiting NCIS agents from Tokyo and Tony showed them around. He ended up doing sake bombs. He says he barely made it out of there alive and Ziva says 'And now you're hoping to finish the job'. Tony just responds with 'McGee, say words'. Tim begins to explain: 'What you see before you, Ziva, is the DiNozzo Defibrillator. It's been passed down through six generations." Ziva says her family also has a hangover remedy: jasmine tea with lime. Tony proclaims it to be disgusting and asks them to remind him to never have a hangover in Israel. Gibbs comes around the corner and says 'DiNozzo' in an uncharacteristically soft voice. Tony says 'Not that I have a hangover now, Boss. You know I'd never drink on a school night.' Gibbs then asks where Tony was the night before and Tony tells the truth: drinking. Gibbs asks if he was alone and Tony assures him he was not. Tony then says 'Not that there's anything wrong with drinking bourbon alone in your basement…with a boat'. Gibbs just looks at him and Tony asks 'What were we talking about?' and Gibbs replies 'Your alibi'. Tony's shocked that he needs an alibi.

Over at the crime scene, Tim's taking pictures of the dead guy and he asks who would want to impersonate Tony and Ziva suggests Jack Nicholson, in a form of impersonation revenge. Tim thinks maybe it's a frame-up and Ziva instantly thinks of Jeanne but she's overseas. Tim then suggests Trent Kort. Tim then mentions how the seams are split and he gets depressed. Ziva thinks he's upset over the man being dumped like a piece of trash but he's not. He's upset because he just bought the same duffel bag. He says that the reviews claimed the seams were a problem and Ziva tries to bring him back on topic by reminding him the dead man's folded in half. It works.

Gibbs and Tony are in the lobby and one clerk shows them where Tony's name was signed into the register. Tony says 'Well, that's my name. It's not my signature, but it's my name. *chuckles* And to think, I almost made it an entire year without being accused of murder.' The other clerk says the guy did look a lot like Tony, but then again Tony has common coloring and features. He tells her she's not helping and she snarks back with 'Was a little more fit, though.' Gibbs begins to ask for security tapes and the room key only to find the male clerk has them already and is all but shoving them at Gibbs. When Gibbs asks if he's in a bit of a rush he's told that yes, they are because they want 'this off the floor because the Rosewood has a reputation to uphold' he then says if they need anything else to let him know and he hands Tony his card but Gibbs snatches it first. Tony is glaring at the pretty female clerk and Gibbs grabs him by the shoulder to get him moving. Tony says something about how when he woke up 'those last four shots seemed like a bad idea'. I fully expect him to say something else after that but he doesn't. Gibbs tells him he doesn't need an alibi as far as Gibbs is concerned but he's glad Tony has one, unlike the other times he's been accused where he didn't.

Ducky and Jimmy have arrived and are examining the body. Ducky's telling a story about his mother and Cirque de Soleil and Jimmy tries to one-up Ducky by talking about one of the tumblers. When Gibbs and Tony walk up Gibbs tells Jimmy to 'quit while you're behind'. Tim then reads the ID on the body and the man's name, Grady, rings a bell with Tony. Tony asks what the man did for a living and is told he was a mailman. Gibbs asks Ducky if he has a cause of death yet and is told he was strangled and then stabbed. Tim says there's nothing in the alley where the body is and Tony says the room's clear as well to which Tim replies 'Well, it is your room' and Tony calls him 'McBackstabber'. Ziva approaches and says that the two witnesses, a maid and a businessman, gave descriptions that match Tony. Tony decides he's had enough and leaves. Ziva says that they should maybe go easy on him but Tim reminds her that Tony wouldn't go easy on them. Of course none of them have been accused of murder, what? three times now? so maybe they should go easy on him. At the car, Tony's approached by the man who impersonated him. And judging by the shock on his face when he turns around, Tony knows exactly who this man is.

The man who is impersonating Tony, Renny Grant, is in interrogation and Tony and Gibbs are in the observation room discussing him with Gibbs looking through Renny's file. Renny was a civilian who worked at the pentagon. He was Tony's first collar as 'boss' when Gibbs took his leave of absence after the explosion three years ago. He calls it a sabbatical and Gibbs turns to give him a look. He tries intermission and Gibbs' look melts into a half-smile so he says 'It was a hiatus really'. Gibbs enlightens us to why NCIS has a file on him; he was arrested for embezzlement of a Navy credit union. The case seemed open and shut but they never found the million bucks he was convicted of stealing. When Gibbs says it wasn't so 'open and shut' because of that, Tony remarks that it happens sometimes, to mere mortals. Renny was sentenced to five years. He got supervised release three months ago and the co-worker who testified against Renny was …Grady, the dead man from earlier.

Tony and Gibbs enter the room where Renny's being held and Tony asks if Renny missed him. (I'd been reading reviews that stated that Tony's suits seem to be too small and hadn't really noticed…until now. His suit is awfully tight, mostly the pants. Gibbs is falling down on the job of providing for his Mate apparently.) Renny replies that he missed a lot of things: his family, his girl, a nice prime rib Madeira, but not Tony. Renny says that nothing much has changed, except for the grey hair and Tony jumps to his Mate and Alpha's defense and tells Renny to show some respect and informs him that 'his name's Special Agent Gibbs' and Renny says he was talking about Tony. Tony, of course, immediately turns to the mirror and begins looking for those grey hairs. Renny goes on to talk about how three years is a long time and in an 8X10 cell it feels like 30.Gibbs asks if that's why he killed the guy who put him there and Renny claims that he didn't kill him. Gibbs says 'Hm. So Lieutenant Grady stuffed himself into a duffle bag.' Renny then demands to talk to Tony alone. Tony says it doesn't work that way and Renny claims that he came to them and he didn't have to. Gibbs gets up and walks out saying only 'Coffee'. Renny asks if the coffee machine is in the other room and Tony just says 'He's gone. Talk'. Renny is maintaining his innocence of the embezzlement charges. Tony says he's already tried that route and Renny claims he can prove it, to which Tony replies 'I'm more interested in why the star witness from your case showed up in your duffle bag' and Renny quips 'He wouldn't fit in my Samsonite'. Renny claims he just wanted to talk to Grady, find out why someone he considered a friend would accuse him of embezzlement. He knew Grady wouldn't talk to him so he pretended to be Tony when he set up the meeting. After checking in, he went out to eat and when he got back Grady was dead on the floor of his room. Tony tells him that the last time he told a tale that thin he got sentenced to five years. Renny says he remembers and wishes he had the evidence he has now, back then. He pulls a necklace from around his neck and drops it on the table. It's a USB flash drive with the paper trail that proves his innocence. He tells Tony that he owes it to Renny to look at the evidence. Tony puts the necklace on and tells Renny that he's not sure if he'll be able to get to it because 'I don't know if you've heard, but I'm in the middle of a murder investigation'. And he leaves the room. In the hall, Gibbs is waiting and Tony tells him to not believe a word Renny says because they have motive and opportunity. Gibbs just says 'Uh-huh'. Tony says 'I know. Why'd he come back?' as he hands the file off and Gibbs says 'That's a good question…Boss' and Tony stops in his tracks and says 'Boss?' Gibbs tells him it was his case. Tony just wants to make sure Gibbs isn't going back to Mexico. Gibbs tells him 'Your case, you're lead'. Tony doesn't believe him and Gibbs says he thinks it's even a rule. If it's not, it should be.

In the bullpen, Tim and Ziva are watching a tape of Renny exiting the hotel. They want to know where he was going since he didn't check out until three hours later. Tony says 'Dinner. Or so he says.' Then asks them to fill him and Gibbs in on what they have. They have Renny all over the security tapes but have yet to find Grady. Tony tells them to keep looking then says 'McGee' in his forceful voice. Tim just says 'What?' like 'I'm standing right here, duh!' and Tony tells him to check into Grady's background, credit cards and bank statements. He then says 'Gibbs. Take a look at Renny's appeal. Use it to catch yourself up on the original embezzlement case. Then work with McGee' Tim and Ziva are looking at him like he's lost his mind, or like they can't wait to see Gibbs rip him a new one for stepping over the line. Gibbs surprises them by just saying 'On it, Boss' and taking the USB necklace from Tony. Ziva wants to know if Gibbs is going back to Mexico and he assures her he's not. Tim says 'Rule number 38' as if he's not really sure and Gibbs says 'Mm-hm'. Abby calls Gibbs' phone with her findings and he passes it to Tony. Tony tells her he's on his way and tosses Gibbs his phone back before heading to her lab. Gibbs clears his throat and Tony turns on his heel saying 'Caf-POW! Right.'

In Abby's lab, Tony enters and hands her the Caf-POW, acting like Gibbs. She's totally confused. She keeps calling him 'Gibbs'. He keeps trying to tell her to stop but she won't listen. He finally tells her that he's not Gibbs and she says 'Yes, you are. Because if you're not, there's a problem, and after Sister Rosita spraining her ankle in the sixth frame and Mr. Giggles escaping…' Tony interrupts with 'Mr. Giggles?' and she orders him to keep on topic then tells him to just tell her, that she can take it. He assures her that Gibbs isn't gone, he's just taking second on this case. After being reassured her Pack is still together, she begins telling Tony about her findings. So far everything supports Tony's theory: Grady entered the room, there was a brief struggle and then he was strangled and stabbed to death. She tells him she found Grady's blood on the comforter and that she doesn't want to tell him what else she found. Tony replies 'Yeah, you do' to which she replies 'Oh, you know me so well, but that's gonna have to wait for later, because I am cooking up some awesomeness'. Tony tells her to 'awesome me' and she tells him she found soap in the sink which indicates the sink was used after Grady was killed. She says there's even a fingerprint. It's too degraded by the soap to get an exact match but she should be able to use it to incriminate a suspect. He tells her to let him know when she's gotten that far seeing as how they have a suspect in custody then asks who Mr. Giggles is. She just turns him around and orders him back to work. When he leaves the lab she says 'I hope I don't have to train him all over again'.

In the bullpen, Tim's asking Ziva how she feels about Tony being the boss again. She says he's a competent, capable investigator and a good leader. She asks Tim if he agrees and he says 'No, I agree. It's just… He's kind of irritating when he's not the boss. When he is, he walks around with that peacock strut, that smirk. It's like…' He can see the fear on Ziva's face and gives a nervous chuckle before saying 'He's behind me, isn't he?' and Tony whispers 'Smirking'. Tim tells him he has good timing then asks how long he was waiting for him to put his foot in it. Tony admits to 'two minutes'. Ziva tells him they finally located Grady entering through the service entrance almost two hours before he was killed. The maid said she remembers him and admits she let him into Renny's room. Tony turns to Tim and says 'McGee, stroke my plumage' while making a motion like he's stroking a peacock tail. Tim says he didn't find anything unusual in Grady's bank statements but he did find a sealed document in his record. Tony says that part of Grady's testimony did involve classified information. Tim says he's petitioning the judge to have it unsealed, just in case. He tells them that he's proud of them both, claims they're sitting pretty, pretty as a… and waits for Tim to finish with 'peacock?' At this point, Gibbs comes back and Tony greets him with 'Oh, hey, Boss'. Gibbs just nods his head and Tony corrects himself with 'Uh, Jethro' then asks if he's caught up on the case. Gibbs says he is and he even went through the appeal. Tony is so sure he got the right man three years ago he says 'Let me guess: wasted three years of his life?' and Gibbs replies 'Nope. You did' and tosses him the USB drive. Ouch. Tony doesn't like to hear he put the wrong man in jail but when the evidence points at an innocence person, what're you supposed to do?

Everyone's gathered around a plasma and Gibbs is telling them what he found. Renny's original case hinged on computer logs that showed Renny embezzling from a base credit union. Tony says the name of the credit union 'First National'. Tim picks up the tale and says that Renny used the latest open source forensics software to prove the logs were faked. Turns out Renny wasn't even in the country when the money was stolen. Hell, he wasn't even in the same hemisphere. He was in Iraq. Tony is kicking himself. Tim starts to say that since the computer he supposedly used was still on base, and not in Iraq with him…when Tony interrupts with 'I get it, McGee. The guy didn't do it. He raises bunnies and grew rainbows, and I put him in prison.' Tony then squats down, puts his head in his hands and orders himself to think. His solution: campfire. Tim and Ziva eagerly grab their chairs and roll them over to where Tony's sitting in front of Gibbs' desk. Tony tells Gibbs he needs to huddle up with them and at first it appears he's going to refuse but he doesn't. Tony owns his mistake with Renny. They all agree that now that they know that Grady lied three years ago they have even more motive for Renny to be the killer. Only problem, why'd Grady lie three years ago? Why risk perjury and jail time? Tim suggests that maybe Grady was the real embezzler. Gibbs' phone rings and he hands it off to Tony. It's Ducky with his report on the autopsy of Grady. When Tony tries to hand the phone back, Gibbs tells him to keep it. This throws him for a second but he recovers quickly and tells Ziva to get the transcripts from Renny's trial. He tells Tim to interview everyone who ever worked with Renny. When he turns to Gibbs he just says 'Gibbs' and Gibbs just sits there, leaning forward with his arms on his knees and Tony finishes with 'Good campfire' Not sure what he was originally gonna say but I think Gibbs does because he gets this smirk on his face like whenever he catches Tony showing off his intelligence.

Down in autopsy, Ducky tells him about what he found. Grady has a nasty rash with blisters on his lower body. When Tony declines to look at the sample Ducky took, Ducky says that Gibbs would have looked at it. So he does and then tries to not vomit. Ducky then walks over to the x-ray board and tells Tony about some spots on his lungs. At first Ducky thought they were cancer but when combined with the rash the diagnosis is 'Valley Fever' which Tony supplies. When asked how he knows Tony side-steps the question. Of course Ducky knows exactly how Tony knows about Valley Fever because he's been Tony doctor for decades, being a direct descendant and in the know about Tony being a vampire. Turns out Valley Fever is native to the southwest US. Tony thanks Ducky for his findings and turns to go. Ducky calls him back by telling him that Valley Fever is aptly named. Grady would have had a slight fever at the time of his demise which would alter the TOD. This means that Grady actually died closer to 8:30 pm, instead of the 10:30 pm Ducky had originally said. Problem with this is Renny has a solid alibi for that time.

Tony goes to apologize to Renny when he's released from holding. Renny asks him to clarify what he's apologizing for and Tony says 'Prison. I think we're even on the murder thing. You did drop a body down a trash chute'. Renny wants to know what his punishment for tampering with a crime scene will be and Tony tells him that'll be up to the judge but if he's lucky he'll get off with time served. Renny then asks about his appeal and Tony tells him he'll write a letter then asks if he can prove that Grady set him up. Renny comes back with 'Already proved I didn't do it and now you expect me to find the guy who did? What exactly are you going to do?' then he turns and walks away. Tony calls out and Renny replies with 'Yeah, yeah. Don't leave town. I know the drill'. A phone starts to ring and Tony grabs his only to have it keep ringing because it's not his phone that's ringing, it's Gibbs'. It's Tim and he guesses that Tony answered the wrong phone. Tim called to tell Tony that Renny's supervisor, Sergeant Wilkins, has arrived and is asking to speak with Tony.

When Tony enters the conference room, the Sergeant says 'Told you so. I've been waiting three years to say that' then goes on to inform Tony he pulled a Shawshank by putting the wrong guy in prison. Tony reminds him that they both did it because he was Renny's supervisor. Wilkins says he only discovered the money was missing, he kept telling Tony that Renny didn't have the computer skills necessary. But he does now. Wilkins then asks about Ziva. Turns out Ziva is on Facebook and Wilkins has been to her place. He says something about a double-team. I'm guessing that means double date. He then asks Tony to tell Ziva he'll 'poke her. Ya know, on Facebook'.

In Abby's lab, she's waiting rather impatiently for Tony, with the soap dispenser in one hand with the other on her hip. Tony asks what she's doing and she tells him she's waiting for him. He asks if she's got something and is told she had something four minutes ago. When he asks why she didn't call she reminds him that that's not how it works; when she gets something Gibbs immediately walks through the door, then asks if he's forgotten all his training. He tries to placate her with a Caf-POW. She smiles than says 'Horseshoes and hand grenades, DiNozzo'. She takes the Caf-POW and walks over to her station, when he follows she slaps a 'TRAINEE' sticker on his lapel and begins to tell him about the fingerprint she lifted from the soap dispenser. She again tells him she can incriminate a suspect and he tells her he has a list of about 2,000 suspects and that she needs to check her inbox. She sets the computer to check the partial against the list of suspects and tells him that this time if she finds something he had better already know. At this point, he hands her an ankle brace for Sister Rosita, telling her that it took him about four minutes to stop by the NCIS gym and pick it up, oh, and she's found something, just as the computer beeps telling them it found a match. She looks at the screen then turns and removes his 'TRAINEE' sticker.

In the bullpen, Ziva, Tim and Gibbs are discussing the case. They now know there are two embezzlers but they can't figure out why the one killed Grady. Can't be because he wants all the money for himself because they stole it three years ago. Gibbs suggests maybe it was because he thought Grady was going to see Tony and might possibly rat him out. Tony enters the bullpen just as Gibbs says that all they need now is the killer and he tells them he just might have found one, Commander Carl Davis, with help from Abby. He tells them to gear up and when Gibbs jumps to obey, Tim and Ziva look at him like he's grown a second head. When he asks what they're staring for they say they've never heard him say that much at once, or in a week and he tells them it wasn't his job before.

At the Commander's home, when Tony gets out of the backseat of the car he's a little green around the gills and he tells Gibbs that he thinks maybe he should drive back, for appearances sake of course, then says forget it when he thinks Gibbs isn't in favor of the idea, only to have to think fast when Gibbs tosses the keys over his shoulder. They all approach the door and Tony takes his usual place off to the side then remembers he's the boss. He knocks and calls out 'Federal agents'. The door is opened by an African-American woman who is crying. Tony asks for Commander Davis and she says he's gone for the week and tries to close the door in their faces. Ziva kicks it in and they all enter. She tries to get them to leave again and Ziva tells her they have a warrant. Tony sends Tim around back and he and Gibbs follow Ziva inside. Ziva is trying to calm the woman while Tony and Gibbs search the house. As they approach a closed bedroom door they can hear muffled screams. When they open the door they find an African-American man tied to the bed in his skivvies with a busted nose. And a gag in his mouth.

The woman is trying to tell them that it was consensual but his injuries don't hold up under their questions. When asked about the broken nose, she says he slipped. When asked about lighter fluid, she says 'Look, after what he did it was either that or my garden shears.' Ziva says 'Guess it was his lucky day, then. Not yours' and leads the woman off. Tony make a reference to the Farrah Fawcett movie The Burning Bed which is about an abused woman who sets her husband on fire while he sleeps. Gibbs knows this movie reference because it was his second wife's favorite movie. Tony thinks maybe Commander Davis' wife is going for the sequel. Tim walks in holding pictures of a couple in a compromising position and says 'Hell hath no fury...' which Gibbs finishes with 'Like a woman scorned'. When this is greeted with silence he informs them that it was the third wife's favorite quote. After Shannon he had horrible taste in woman. Best he sticks to his Mate, Tony. Gibbs is taking pictures and Tim automatically goes to tell Gibbs what he found. Tony has to remind him who's in charge. The pictures are post marked from Hawaii and show the Commander with a white woman. There's a note attached 'Paid a private investigator to follow my wife. Just thought you should know what he found.' Tony says 'The other husband. How kind of him. What do they say?' and Gibbs responds 'Misery loves company'. Tony wants to know if he got that from the fourth wife and Gibbs just raises the camera and snaps a picture of Tony and Tim in much the way Tony does with everyone else, except Gibbs.

Gibbs and Tony go to question Davis and he has no idea what they're talking about. He has a very good alibi: the pictures from Hawaii were taken the previous week.

Tony goes back to Abby and finds out that the soap dispenser she found the fingerprint on is not from the hotel. Someone swapped it to try and frame Commander Davis.

When Tony goes to the bullpen with this new information he finds out that there was a third embezzler but the trail ends in a private account in the Caymans.

Gibbs and Ziva have been interrogating Davis for over an hour and haven't been able to get him to talk. When Tony walks off, Tim tells him he's going the wrong way. He throws his hands in the air and says he knows. He makes it look like he's taking a walk to clear his head but he ends up in the garage. Jimmy enters and hands him a cup of coffee. They begin discussing the case. I'm not sure why but I like to think Tony's just using Jimmy as a sounding board, kinda like Gibbs does with Ducky. Jimmy convinces Tony to go ask Renny for help. When Tony arrives at Renny's house he finds it full of smoke. And Renny missing.

Tony is feeling really bad about putting Renny in prison three years ago. Ziva mentions that there were security bars on the windows but it appears Renny removed them and begins to make a comment about how she would too if she had just spent time in prison for a crime she didn't comment but stops when she sees Tony's face. The house looks like a meeting of fight club was held there. Gibbs says the window was jimmied and Ziva holds up a knife that has blood on it and says that might have been the tool used. Tony's starting to get worried because it looks like the third embezzler knows about Renny.

Back at HQ, Tony is having Tim check the BOLO again, despite having checked it just four minutes before. He has Ziva checking the traffic cams and has Gibbs checking with highway patrol. Tony's snapping at everyone and Gibbs orders him to take a campfire with him in private. When they get to the quiet corner of the bullpen, they have the following conversation:
Gibbs: Problems?
Tony: *sarcastically* No. Everything's peachy. Nothing I like more than putting an innocent man in prison. Except, of course for getting him killed.
Gibbs: Hm. Renny's dead? I hadn't heard that.
Tony: Save the pep talk. We both know I screwed up.
Gibbs: Yeah. Three years ago. (Tony crosses his arms over his chest and settles in to hear how much of a disappoint he is to his Mate and Alpha) But now you're making it right. And me proud. You've been doing... a hell of a job, Anthony. (be still my heart! Gibbs called him by his first name!) *faints* (Tony's not sure how to react. Usually when praised by his Alpha, he Shifts and shows his belly or drops to his knees and give him a blowjob. But since they're at work...) Until about three minutes ago. Get your head on right.
Tony: What would you like me to do? (drop to my knees and blow you despite us been at work?)
Gibbs: Trust your gut.
Tony: Yeah. I think I'd rather trust yours right now.
Gibbs: *stepping in close and growling* Then give me my damn phone back!

Abby approaches and says 'I hope I'm not interrupting something - and if I am, I hope somebody tells me about it.' Both Gibbs and Tony smirk at that and Tony asks 'What have you got, Abs?' Gibbs steps back, his smirk turns into a grin, and he says 'Checking the roadblocks, Boss'. Abby is convinced she was interrupting something. Tony keeps her on topic by asking her again 'What do you got?' (This particular writer's grammar sucks rocks) The blood on the knife wasn't Renny's, it was Grady's. When Tony says it's the missing murder weapon, Abby says 'Our messy murder weapon. Which is weird 'cause most killers, they would rinse before they repeat.' When Tony wonders aloud why this ine didn't, Abby tells him to ask the killer himself and shows him a photo of Sergeant Wilkins. He left his DNA on the handle.

When Tony enters the room where the Sergeant is waiting, Wilkins asks of NCIS is handling parking tickets now. Tony asks where Renny is and is told Wilkins has no clue. Tim, Gibbs and Ziva are watching and Tim mentions that he can almost hear the band playing in Tony's head. Ziva says that he does love this part. Gibbs says he's earned it. Tony lays out the service pictures of our three embezzlers. Wilkins reminds him that he told Tony that Renny was framed. Tony says it was a neat trick and he'll have to remember that one for the next time he wants someone to think he's a complete moron. He then moves a chair and I expect him to straddle it, but he doesn't. Tim says 'Betcha five bucks Tony does the chair-tossing technique' and Ziva says 'Mm, ten he switches to strong and silent' and Gibbs says 'Nah, twenty bucks he's gonna do the picture tear'. They turn to look at him, then at Tony and sure enough, Tony's tearing the pictures. Wilkins claims he killed Grady in self-defense. When Tony demands, again, to know where Renny is, Wilkins swears he doesn't know. Tony says he dropped the knife at Renny's and Wilkins claims he doesn't know where Renny lives. He says he left the knife at the Rosewood and he can prove it. Wilkins was in court all day the day before. Everyone knows you can't carry a weapon of any kind into a courthouse. This new development throws everyone for a loop.

My Spidey Senses are tingling that Renny's not really missing and that he found a way to steal the money from the embezzlers and has gone to ground. Renny also set the three up by having them either arrested or put under indictment or, in the case of Davis, telling the wife he was having an affair.

Tony finds Renny at the airport and asks if he knows where the money is. Tony thinks Renny has it but when Renny opens his bag, there's nothing but clothes inside. Tony lets him go and finds Gibbs waiting for him in the car park. He tells Gibbs 'Boat, bourbon, basement, I get it' then walks around to the passenger side of the car but Gibbs stops him and tosses him the keys. Tony hands Gibbs his phone back and says 'There ya go, Boss' and gets in to drive them back to HQ.
