Enredo

A kidnapper shoots to death a Navy captain who intervenes; the bad guys get one teenage girl but not the other; both girls are Navy juniors; Gibbs and company investigate, pursue, solve, capture, and recover. Tony joins Ziva and her date.

Kidnappers abduct one teenage girl (Rosie) but fail to get the second girl (Lydia) due to the intervention of Lydia's father, whom a bad guy shoots to death, and who is a captain in the US Navy; both girls are Navy juniors; Gibbs and company and more, including the FBI, investigate. Lydia stays with Ziva until her mother, a commander in the US Navy, arrives from her aircraft carrier, in the Arabian Sea; Lydia receives an incomplete text message, which leads the gang to a camping trailer in Virginia, where they find a burn phone and a dead body. While Ziva, Abby, and Lydia hang together overnight at Gibbs's pad, they get a visitor; Ziva and Abby deal with him, and Lydia recognizes him. The visitor names the other kidnappers to Gibbs, who also gets information through a long-time friend, then Gibbs, the gang, and others meet a helicopter at dawn and then meet the third kidnapper plus Rosie. Ziva's date arrives and invites Tony to join them, so they become a threesome.—DocRushing

A dad waits to pick up his daughter and her friend from work at a theater after a midnight movie. The other daughter's dad, Scott Martin, calls as the girls come out.

Just then, a black van pulls up and masked men try to grab the girls. Wade comes to their rescue and bravely fights the abductors off as his daughter runs for help. But the attackers get the upper hand and grab Rosie, shooting Wade in the process.

At work, it's the middle of the night but Ziva is in a great mood because her friend Shmeil called from Israel and she's going to get to see him on his layover. Tony pouts when she won't give him details.

Gibbs announces the body of the week, a dead Navy officer and child abduction.

At the scene, the victim is Navy Captain David Wade. Rosie Martin is missing.

David's daughter Lydia is waiting nearby with Rosie's mom, Connie. Lydia's mom is in the Navy, and on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the Arabian Sea.

Scott Martin shows up, he's also in the Navy. He heard the abduction on the phone and they raced over. When Gibbs asks Lydia if she can ID the attackers, Scott gets in her face and pressures her. She yells that her dad tried to stop the men.

Back at the office, they watch the theater surveillance. Gibbs addresses the whole NCIS office, which is on the case, along with the FBI. The men wore stocking masks and obscured the van's plate.

In MTAC, Lydia talks to her mom, Jennifer Wade, at sea. She's been given a transfer but bad weather is keeping her stuck on the ship. Jennifer suggests Lydia stay with the Martins, but Gibbs advises against it. Ziva offers to host her.

In the morgue, Duckie has ID'd black primer from the van. It washed off, meaning the paint job was temporary. Duckie advises Gibbs to take things slowly and not rush anything.

Ziva takes Lydia down to Abby's lab. She turns over the shirt she was wearing during the attack. Abby's analyzing the bullet that killed Lydia's dad and offers to try facial reconstruction if Lydia can remember anything.

McGee and Tony meet with Connie and Scott Martin, who have turned over Rosie's computer. McGee finds a chat log with "Diesel" who asked if she was working the midnight show and said he might see her there.

Gibbs goes to check him out, he's pervily selling pumpkins. He hocks a loogie on Gibbs' shoes, so Gibbs cold cocks him.

Back at NCIS, McGee and Gibbs talk to Diesel, a registered sex offender -- for peeing on a Dumpster next to a middle school. He was posing as a college freshman, but he's 30. He said hi to her at the movies, but then says he went straight to work breaking down his boss' pumpkin stands. He says he doesn't know anything else.

Ziva talks to Lydia, who knows him as "Diesel the Weasel." Lydia feels bad she can't be of more help. Ziva tells her dealing with loss is very personal.

Abby brings Lydia her phone back. She sees that her friends are planning a rally at the bowling alley where her dad and Scott were in a league. She wants to go.

At the alley, Lydia is greeted by her friends and Ginny, who runs the place. Another employee, Fred, also says hi. Connie and Scott Martin show up and Scott immediately starts haranguing Gibbs for not being out searching for Rosie. Then he yells at Lydia about a description of the attackers, saying she saw them and must be able to give one. NCIS whisks her out of there.

Back in Abby's lab, she shows Lydia face samples for face types. Lydia gets a text that says "Help lyds, they hav--" She thinks it's from Rosie. They trace it to a burn phone in a trailer. There's a man's warm dead body in the trailer and signs Rosie was there, including the phone she sent the help text from. They're thinking the man was shot by his accomplices for letting her send the text.

McGee ID's the dead man as Sean Oakby, a petty criminal with no sex crime record. He's sent messages to multiple burn phones in the past few days, including photos of Rosie in a party dress. Gibbs tells McGee to have Agent Fornell find Miranda Pennebaker.

Lydia confirms Oakby was one of the men who tried to grab her. Gibbs comes down to the lab and tells Abby and Ziva the attackers are trying to sell Rosie. He asks Ziva and Abby to stay with Lydia and make her feel safe.

Fornell calls Gibbs and he asks about Pennebaker.

Cut to Gibbs finding Pennebaker (Alex Kingston), who owes Gibbs and can sell anything. She is offended at the idea she'd be involved in human trafficking. Gibbs knows, but thought it was worth a shot. She knows someone who might know someone.

Ziva, Abby and Lydia make themselves at home at Gibbs' house.

Miranda takes Gibbs to see Edgar Hayes, who works at the State Department and has some sordid interests. Gibbs asks him who might in the market for a kidnapped girl. He agrees to make some calls.

Duckie calls Gibbs to report Oakby had rosin used by athletes on his hands. Gibbs thinks of the bowling alley.

Ziva and Abby enjoy a frittata and a few beers. Lydia comes down from her shower. She remembered the other guy from the van was kind of pudgy with a beard.

The power goes out. They think it's an outage, but Ziva sees other house's lights are on. She leads them upstairs and draws her gun.

A man jumps on her in the kitchen and pulls a gun, asking where Lydia is. Abby sneaks up behind him and cracks him on the head with a frying pan. Lydia looks at him: it's Fred from the bowling alley.

In interrogation, Ziva and Gibbs talk to Fred, who says he drove the van but doesn't know where Rosie is. His ex-con buddy Merle and his cousin Sean came to him asking for girls, two for $500,000 to sell to a man who likes virgins.

Abby keeps Lydia company in the lab. Gibbs brings Abby Caf-pow and she reports she found motion sickness medicine in Sean Oakby's lab results, meaning a flight or deep sea trip.

Miranda Pennebaker waits for Gibbs, to report Edgar found their buyer is Claude Damien LeMonde, drug smuggler and perv who lives at sea. They know his helicopter will be landing at a field in Reston, VA in the morning.

Merle brings Rosie to the helicopter to sell her, but finds NCIS waiting for him instead. Rosie is reunited with her parents.

Lydia is reunited with her mom Jennifer at NCIS.

Miranda Pennebaker visits Gibbs in his basement for a bourbon. She tells him she's thinking of retiring.

Tony comes back to the office to find Ziva all dressed up to go out with her friend Shmeil. When he comes out of the restroom, Tony is surprised to see he's an elderly man, whom Ziva introduces as a poet and philosopher. Shmeil remembers meeting Tony's dad at a bar in Geneva. He invites Tony to join them.
