I liked the ep for the most part. It was an okay plot. I was really in it for the characters anyway. And to see if the pornstache was still alive or not. *sigh*

I spent most of the ep wanting to give Tony a big fat hug. Poor Woobie. He worked his ass off as team leader and earned the respect of the others. Ziva was bugging with her comments. I didn't hate her but I felt like she dropped back into the role of questioning Tony way too easy.

McGee? I wanted to kick his ass for the comment he made to Tony about not being able to be a team leader.

Tony didn't force Gibbs to leave and he certainly didn't ask to take over the team. Yet he's the one getting kicked in the teeth after Gibbs returned. I really want Gibbs to look at him and at least say "Yeah. I fucked up." Either that or for Tony to just plain lose it with Gibbs.

Ducky! My love for him in this ep was great. I really like that he's not cutting Gibbs a break on abandoning everyone. Plus I think he's still smarting over the whole Gibbs had a family thing. I'm really hoping they let that story play out for a few eps.

MD. OMG. I actually really liked her in this episode. I'm not sure I've ever said that for an entire ep for her before. I like that Tony is comfortable and confident enough with her now that he calls her Jenny. I can see them becoming confidants in at least a minor way. She gets Tony and knows what it's like to be partnered with Gibbs.

I'm still not thrilled with the idea of Tony slotting back into the subordinate role and I really hope they deal with it over the course of the season. Still? Mad love for the team.

There's still lots of angst!fic potential and angry sex!fic. Mmmm angry sex...
