Jimmy Palmer's wife is close to her due date. The Baby Shower was cute and Breena going mad at Jimmy who's trying to make everything so safe for her and the future little Palmer. But her Beltway Burger visit sent her into labor maybe. It took the Gibb's slap to Palmer to get him on his way to the hospital. They have a daughter. She is named after Ducky's mom, Victoria Elizabeth Palmer. Very nice. Not wanting Tony's gift made me think that wasn't very nice. I did like the pink balloon selection by Jimmy, and the broken finger labor talk. My wife did almost the same thing! She squeezed my hand, and I kept telling her she should use the handles on the bed.
I liked how Lt.Col. Hollis Mann finally got Jethro to talk about Diane. She had to go to his man cave in his basement. He is working on a new boat. Gibbs blames himself for Diane's murder. He is also worried about Hollis. She says she is a big girl.
It did seem that Commander Xavier Meade was a bit harsh on gays. Must be old school. Even though Gibbs isn't against it. He gave sub-par ratings to the gay soldiers. He tried to say he was going to get Gibbs in trouble, and then Gibbs said he would testify against him at his Court Martial. Very nice Gibbs!
Eric Kutzler was a true hero. He deserved the Metal Of Honor! I am so glad he wasn't killed over being openly gay. He jumped on a live hand grenade to save others. Vince saw it. He helped Vince Armstrong, and Vince will carry on for Eric. Eric took Davis Riley's stash, and went to confront Mat. Mat Jebson did seem odd to me, but I didn't suspect him until the end. Selling drugs at a AA meeting. Eric was again doing right and got killed. Tony's quip to Mat,"Spoiler Alert! Herstenburgh(sp), It doesn't end well for you!" That was cute. It was nice that Vince apologized to Gibbs team.
Tony and Bishop made a nice team. Bishop is fitting in much better now.
I liked Gibbs asking Abby about the surveillance tapes and she replied, "It's not the 1990's!" The way the team talks to Gibbs sometimes about the differences in his thinking compared to today sometimes seems quite rude.
My wife was not happy about the "husband" name, but she still liked the episode.
Not sure if Gibbs had his Dr. appointment. Maybe with the death of Diane, he cancelled or rescheduled it.
With the Shannon and Kelly story, I think the reason Gibbs feels responsible is because he wasn't there to protect them. The man of the house should protect it's family, and he wasn't here to do that. So Gibbs feels responsible.
