This episode is full of it. Tiresome, supposedly homage references to earlier horror films inanely mouthed by Agent DiNozzo; the now routine insulting, degrading and bullying treatment of potential witnesses and suspects by Gibbs; and yet another "twist the laws to make them fit" ending.
Gibbs and his team are frustrated and thwarted by an ingenious, maniacal serial killer. After several bad calls and mistaken assumptions on their part, Gibbs et al finally corner, subdue and capture the killer.
But this is not(!) enough. Instead, the killer is re-designated as a terrorist and thus his name cannot be released to the media. But in the supposed reality of this show, it is done to deny the killer's goal/desire to be famous for embarrassing NCIS in general and Gibbs in particular.
Less discerning viewers -- the apparent target audience for this series -- could easily be misled into believing/assuming that the killer was also denied any legal representation and trial by jury, that his relatives (if any) were not told of his location/situation and that any and that all others involved, e.g., the female singer of the band rescued by NCIS, were somehow coerced into silence. One also has to believe that neither the mainstream nor alternative investigative media will not find out and release his name and other information/crime details to the public.
Another episode demonstrating how NCIS is just so much bull.
