For the second episode in a row, NCIS includes a mention of something from McGee’s (Sean Murray) past. After bringing up his sister (Troian Bellisario), who appeared in Season 4, last week, now, in the Tuesday, April 14, episode, he brings up a harrowing experience he and Gibbs (Mark Harmon) went through to kick off Season 15. (It also means his twins are eight years old!) Warning: Spoilers for NCIS Season 23 Episode 16 ahead!

The episode, directed by series star Rocky Carroll, who remains in the opening credits after his character, Leon Vance, was killed off in the 500th episode, begins with a Navy lieutenant, Rebecca (Yael Grobglas), being found six months after her humanitarian aid flight went missing; she’s the only survivor. Knight (Katrina Law) and Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) hike to find the cave in which Rebecca had holed up, where they stay, keeping each other warm, overnight — but it does actually feel platonic and not a cliché despite hints at the potential of something romantic between them. Meanwhile, McGee is the one to talk to her the most back in her hotel room as she adjusts to being back.
