The fourth episode of NCIS Sydney brought us an interesting case, and the writing is better this time around, not depending on snakes and sharks to twist the investigations. With a classical approach, the episode begins like an 18th-century murder mystery, but soon, the modern NCIS team arrives, and we are thrown amid the case. The episode becomes a story about love and loss, fathers and sons, duty and desertion, and so much more. The series does gain some pathos through NCIS Sydney Episode 4, as Mackey’s more human side comes out, reminiscing about her days in the military. The rest of the team works on the case in the usual manner, chipping in with their knowledge to untangle the mystery.

One of those secrets -- that a decorated U.S. sailor who went Awol and melted into Sydney 50 years ago -- even became the primary suspect in the gruesome murder of a petty officer.
It could have been so easy. They captured a suspect with a motive who was willing, even eager, to confess to the crime.
Mackey truly wanted Frank Doherty to be the murderer as she had a disgust for deserters, one that she eventually explained to Doherty himself.
J.D., who is all cop, rightfully saw too many holes to take Doherty's confession at face value. Things weren't adding up for him.
Fairly early on, Mackey and especially J.D. felt that Doherty was covering for someone. Since he was hellbent on self-sacrifice,...
