Anybody have liquid bovine tranquilizer on yourNCISbingo card this season?

If so, tonight was your night!

(I feel like somebody should’ve checked their pulses way before NCIS arrived.)

“Butterfly Effect” – The NCIS team jumps into motion to investigate who is responsible for a potential bio terror attack at a strip mall parking garage. Also, Knight’s father deals with a health scare while in Japan, on the CBS Original series NCIS, Monday, March 13 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+

At the hospital, we meet the victims, including the steely Navy Capt.

It’s all so studiously casual that she immediately becomes my prime suspect.

Not terrorism, then!

Instead, the bad guy accidentally gassed everyone in the vicinity.

This knock-out approach matches the M.O.

of Philip Legrand, who’s wanted for robbing high-end homes across the country.

Notable: the victims report sleeping straight through the incidents.

they find the live-in maid sedated on the floor.

The thief is still there, and it is, of course, Dorothy.

Meanwhile, Miller invites the agents into her home to investigate.

At first, she seems as suspicious as Dorothy.

For one thing, everyone knows you’ve got the option to’t trust a TV senator.

Knight, meanwhile, gets bad news from Japan.

Her father, who works for the NCIS Far East Office, had a bike accident.

Knight ultimately decides to cancel the trip to Japan so she can help apprehend the kidnapper.

Yeah, I don’t know about that.

There are three other NCIS agents there to do that work.

Go be with your family, Jess.

She picks up a note on the table and frantically asks the team to join her inside.

Instead of making her read the note out loud first, they all come charging in.

First, they notice that the kidnapper stuck a surveillance camera in the ceiling.

Then they notice the canisters of gas, and one by one they drop.

The kidnapper reveals himself to be the wife guy from the parking garage.

It’s like you might’t even trust a criminal to keep his word anymore.

They take wife-guy, whose name is Nate Billings, into custody.

Then along come the Russians.

(Meanwhile, she leaves behind her card in case Parker wants to get pastries with her sometime.

Er, ma’am.)

Looks like we’ve got an ongoing mystery to solve.

Toxic dirt spores got into his wound during the accident and caused an infection.

It’s rare, but he’s going to be fine.

I still think Knight oughta get on a plane to Japan, though.
