I'll preface this by saying that this is the only NCIS series I've seen, and have been binge watching it after seeing the cross-over episode with Hawaii Five-O. Therefore, DiNozzo was an unknown to me. So many of the episodes have been getting repetitive with the ultra-serious war on terror. It was great to have a little (lot) of levity. Comedy in a drama series can sometimes be hard to pull off, but this was done beautifully, upping Deeks's goofiness and Sam/G's banter. Kensi rarely has the opportunity to match Deeks's roving eye for the opposite sex, so her flirting with DiNozzo is a little payback at worst, and at best, keeping her "ship" with Deeks under wraps, since Deeks himself protested the "ship" to DiNozzo. Fun to have an episode where the bad guy wasn't really so bad, even if his over-the-top character was *way* over the top (which is why it was so funny). Favorite episode of the series, quite honestly. Enough that it prompted me to come here and write this!
