Was the redheaded scientist (who stole the virus and caused the explosion) played by the same actress as the red head evil lawyer on "The Rookie"?

So "lying boot" is gone. Could he return as the next serial killer,looking for vengeance? And "Texas boot" seems to have improved, but is currently comic relief??

I don't recall the season/ or the ep name, but the knowledge of Gibbs killing Hernandez came out -at first just to Abbie, who was asked by a Mexican official (Actually Hernandez's son,and a drug Cartel member) to examine the original (30 years old??) killing. She discovered that the bullet used was fired by Gibbs rifle. Several years later, Gibbs told the team. Outside of that it remained a secret for more years

Disclaimer: I didn't see all of the ep. busy night here,but her are a few comments/questions based on what I did see: Travis came across as a hedonistic self indulgent pig, but could be a help to his friend Rip. (nice background story re Travis and Rip). Did Travis actually show up for the auction? Were we supposed to know the man that Beth spoke to (he was on the couch, observing the action). Loved the memorial tribute to John and Colby. Riderless horses, a classic. Loved Beth trying to help Teeter. Beth's "at the bar emasculating of the creep", as we have seen her do before, was typically over the top. Teeter's attempt to do the same (at Beth's prompting), but in her own way, was funny yet sad. After the memorial service, when Teeter entered the horse barn alone, then the bunk house, also alone: did anyone else fear that she was going to commit suicide?

Sad about Colby, and sad for Teeter. Of all the deaths in this show, this one seemed needless.

My guess is that the injection contained the drug that they planted (in pill form), probably an antidepressant,traceable, to further support the suicide angle.

In the previous ep., Kayce called one of his special forces buddy, and asked about people doing "dark work", and the buddy mentioned names, but said 'be careful". Has any more come of this?

I had the same thought re fake suicide, but I also agree with the rebuttal.

1) Regarding the office (?) where Sarah finalized the hit on John, did anyone else get a "gov't./CIA like" feel from it. Too big, too technologically organized, too sterile? Not the typical TV lair of a hit man.(Then again, not a typical hit.) 2) Any indication of how much time passed between that meeting and the actual hit? Didn't the hit man/booker say that "they" would create stories of John's mental unraveling?

Didn't the actress who plays Bailey announce that she was pregnant?

I really liked the slow/somber version of the theme. I agree, for the reasons stated earlier, that we saw just enough of Gibbs-the picture he sent, and and of course the flashbacks. I also agree that more might have been a distraction. Given the circumstances when Pauley left, there was probably no way she would appear. I did like the black funeral floral arrangement, of course it was from her! It was nice to see Tony, but at first I thought it was CGI/ photoshop/ ???. Based on the way he first appeared, it looked a little shaky, almost like a hologram. Maybe it was my tv... All in all, a nice tribute. Well done show. Rest in peace Donald (and Ducky).

Did I miss something, or was it obvious/ Implied (especially considering the way the team was dressed in the preview), that the phone call they got at the end was the news that Ducky had died? If that's correct, I like the way the It was handled. It was well known that David McCallum had passed away. That phone call can help show how the team reacted to the sudden news, as the fans reacted to the sudden news in reality

It's what they have to do in order to fill an "hour" show (actually 42 minutes of air time), when you only have 15 minutes of new material.

Was the man in the final scene with Torres the same man who was on the phone with the young convict? Did Torres recognize him as the person who molested/mistreated him and his sister when they were children? (Am I making to many jumps of logic/illogic??)

The actual episode was "eh" up to the wedding scene. The wedding scene was nice,but when I saw how much time (in the hour) remained, I became scared that "something horrible was going to happen"- a bomb killing everyone,etc. Hetty's letter was a nice touch, and I really liked the "Morocco Mission", because it brought back some old "friends" and it gave me(maybe only me???) comfort to see that in the world of the show, the team continues on with life.
