I thought it was silly that Kasie is baking in her lab.  There is too much scenes involving Kasie.  Now, she's asking questions like she's an agent!  

Kind of a strange look Jess had in the end of the episode.  Does it really bother her that her sister is dating Torres?  Or is it that she might have feelings for him?

I read that they wanted to rekindle Jimmy's and Jess's relationship.  God I hope not!

Last but not least, there is too much Kasie scenes!  Oh, I'm repeating myself.  😁

I didn't really buy that the DC police let NCIS take the case when it had no naval connection whatsoever, but I thought Gary Cole and Melina Kanakaredes had great chemistry so I was okay with it.  Hope they bring her back in the future.

Plus, the drug kingpin referenced the Great British Baking Show!  How could I not love that?

But yeah, too many Kasie scenes.  And I don't care who Torres dates.  I just hope they don't hook him up with Jess because there's been way too much interoffice dating/flirting/harassment on this show.

Yes, Jess' look at the end was rather odd indeed.  I originally thought she may have realized she had feelings for Torres, but I considered that she may have decided that he would be good for her sister.  However, as both Robin and Jess are histrionic and "can't read the room", I would like to see any entanglement involving the three of them end. 

I also didn't get the Jimmy and Jess coupling, and didn't really watch it all the time during that period.  I may have been watching cat videos on YouTube or something.....  ;-)

I am really understanding the animosity that many are feeling towards Kasie.  She held back giving Jimmy peanut M&M's until he spilled his guts?!  And he caved?  WTF?!!  Grow up dude!  Buy your own candy!  If Kasie is that close with Jess, I kind of get her threatening Torres.  

I agree that Parker and Melina (can't recall her character's name off hand) have great chemistry.  Hoping she makes future appearances.

Fun fact. I paused on the Eleni driver license. "Eleni" was born 1972.

Gary Cole the actor born 1956. Parker the character born 1960/1961 (from the episode of teen juvie Parker).

Anyway, Melina looks nearly the same as she did in CSI:NY what... 20 years ago?

I don't recall all this animosity towards Abby when she held Kasie's position and Abby filled up loads of screen time.  At least Kasie isn't cuddling up to her boss like Abby was always doing with Gibbs, behaving like she was his little girl.

I don't think Abby tried to act like an agent.  Maybe there were different writers at that time.  Plus Abby was a lovable character and was the original tech.  Kasie tries to be funny and it just doesn't work in my opinion!

I like Kasie.  Only good thing left about this show.  Otherwise it is just NCIS: Doughnuts.
