Our unflappable ME does a bit of flapping when his college roommate takes over the morgue.
Amanda had a teenage criminal record and landed at a school for troubled teens before joining the Navy.
(I… have some questions.)

Bauer immediately assumes control of the case while Palmer clings to his calm with both hands.
He’s also incredibly creepy and seems like someone who might murder a woman he knows from the internet.
Bauer rushes to explain that Amanda was likely killed with a rock wielded by somebody left-handed.
Back at NCIS HQ, Palmer confesses to Kasie what we already know: he lowkey hates Miles Bauer.
I wish he’d let her take a swing, though, based on what happens next.
She was taking ADHD medication, which can raise your body temperature during physical exertion.
That means she was likely killed hours earlier, while Vernon was at a doctor’s appointment.
Bauer scoffs at this hypothesis, which is weird because the body temp thing iseasily verifiable.
Thankfully, Vance (Rocky Carroll) sides with Palmer and tells his agents to cut Vernon loose.
Bauer warns Palmer that any future murders will be on his head.
UGH, THIS GUY.
But before they can explore that further, they learn about another body in the park.
It’s a Curiocam worker whose head was crushed like Amanda’s.
Sen. Grayson demands Palmer be fired, which results in the good doctor unleashing his frustration on Bauer.
Jimmy Palmer is nobody’s doormat!
Still, Vance sends him home to cool off.
First, Kasie stealthily FaceTimes Palmer to show him the new victim’s body on the autopsy table.
Listen, we all knowcellphones are filthy, but this takes it to a disgusting new level.
She also provides her classmates' photos to prove he was actually there.
When Sen. Grayson learned what he did, she straight-up backhands him.
Bauer apologizes “if things got weird” (um,if??)
and admits that he was always jealous of Jimmy.
But Jimmy made peace with the fact that NCIS is where he’s supposed to be.
It’s where he met Breena, and it’s why he has Victoria and his work family.
