Episode Notes
Rule Thirteen = "Never ever involve a lawyer"

Rule Forty Four = "First things first, hide the women and children"

Rule Fifty One = "Sometimes You're Wrong"

In this episode Ziva becomes an American Citizen.

We learn that the #40's for Gibbs' rules are 'bad' and that something has gone wrong when the 40's come into play

Despite the loss of his right index finger (which was shot off), Franks is alive and when he sees Tony in Mexico, he tells Tony he can still fire with his thumb.

Gibbs and Tony doesn't make it to Ziva US Citizen ceremony:
Gibbs is held up by Hart;
Tony is send on mission to Mexico by Director Vance.

Rule #3: Never be unreachable

Rule #27: There are two ways to follow someone
- First way, they never notice you
- Second way, they only notice you



Episode Quotes
"Tennessee Williams said 'We are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins for life.' Surrounded by men with guns, I think of this often, beautiful, sad but frank,"
