The body at Arlington is abnormally heavy because it’s stuffed full of stones.

Alden is not good in front of cameras!

Ducky, of course, knows about these secret plans but goes along with the charade.

They also know about the turn-you-to-stone curse, which delights Knight (Katrina Law).

What a fun little weirdo she is.

And that’s where Dr. Grace comes in.

When she refuses, they shoot Torres in the arm and leave them to stew about it.

She blames herself and keeps that photo in as a reminder to never let another patient down.

But the team’s already there, having rescued Torres and learned the rest of the plan.

Ducky then turns the tables on his surprise party by appearing on his own to surprise everyone there.

As the episode ends, she picks up the phone, presumably to call Mr. Dr. Grace.
