The NCIS team finds fingerprints at the crime seen that leads back to Quinn. As the team investigates more, they find out that Quinn, a vietnam vet, has been dead since 1991 and he died in a fire. Gibbs requests that his death record be pulled so they can find out more information, but here is where they find the problem that it doesn’t exist. Quinn was supposedly buring in Arlington and faked his own death to lay low on the radar. The team finally finds him after 17 years and starts to speak with him. They find out that he faked his death and try to put him at the crime scene. Gibbs begins to think that they have the wrong man and this man Quinn would never be linked to the crime. Gibbs tries to prove that he is innocent and everyone he tries to persuade doesn’t believe him.
As Quinn is interogated more and more, they find out he is a very good artist. Quinn tells us he wanted to be a doctor before he went into Vietnam but after the war, he didn’t want to be a doctor any longer. The team finds out that Quinn learned how to draw like a professional when he was in rehab. In the end of the episode, we finally learn that Quinn is not guilty. Gibbs is driving Quinn to his daughters house and on the ride he tells Quinn that if he had one wish, he would hug his daughter, and now he does not have that chance. This is a great episode to show right before Christmas.
As I watched this episode, one of the scenes where Abby pulls on Santa’s beard made me laugh pretty hard. It seems Abby is full of surprises and she just adds the humor into the show amongst the drama. I liked how this episode had Quinn as the number one suspect but near the end all the evidence falls apart. Check out our season 6 to watch this episode now. Have a safe and wonderful holiday.
