Throwback Thursday takes us back to a mystery involving the Three Investigators whose mantra of “We Investigate Everything” leads them into one of the weakest mysteries of their careers, the solution of which relies both on the ideas of both a ghost and and the idea of astral projection being real.

NCIS butts heads with a local DEA task force after Commander Chase (Seana Kofoed) is kidnapped by one of the DEA’s confidential informants who the DEA believe is responsible for killing one of their agents. The episode never quite sells us on the idea of Santino (Ian Verdun) as a killer leading to an unsurprising twist when the captive medical examiner starts believing in his innocence. The trigger-happy agents of the DEA also make it all too easy to figure out what’s really going on.
