Summary
An innocent man spent two years in prison. That’s not a joke, and only Tim and Ziva seem to be laughing. Responsibility and blame are not the same things.

Summary
"For those who understand, no explanation is necessary; for those who don't understand, no explanation is possible." – USMC
A murdered radio shock-jock and Navy lieutenant. White bread upper middles buying bombs. Weird case, weirder attitudes in the bullpen. Tony has suspicions, but up until yesterday, until Tony slid into the backseat of the agency sedan with his teammates, until they dropped their little bombshell and sent shrapnel gouging deep trenches in Tony's worldview, he'd called McGee and Ziva partners. Gibbs was another story entirely.
