From Quiz "NCIS:" Gibbs' Rules

Answer: Never take anything for granted

Answer: Charles "Chip" Sterling

In the episode "Frame-Up", during season 3, Abby's assistant Chip tried to frame Tony for murder because Tony got Chip in trouble.

27. Rule #2: Right after telling Agent Todd Rule #1, Gibbs follows it up with Rule #2. What good advice about crime scene contamination does Gibbs tell Kate?

From Quiz "NCIS": Gibbs' Rules

Answer: "Always wear gloves at a crime scene."

At first, Kate protests at having to wear the gloves, saying, "But my prints are all over this jet." She later gives in and puts them on. According to many forensic scientists, the two biggest problems for crime scene contamination are the responding emergency crews and the crime scene investigators. For this reason (and other personal hygiene reasons), Gibbs ensures he and his crew always wear gloves when investigating a crime scene.

28. What rule did Tony say he'd have to break in the episode "Flesh and Blood"?

From Quiz The Rules

Answer: "Never say you're sorry, it's a sign of weakness"

Tony apologized for letting things get out of hand during his protection duty (for which Gibbs head slapped him repeatedly with a cowboy hat!) and Gibbs said, "It was covered by rule #18."

29. What is Palmer's nickname?

From Quiz McNicknames & Other Names

Answer: Autopsy Gremlin

If you were thinking, "Hey it's Black Lung!" that was his code name...not his nickname. When Tony calls him Autospy Gremlin I always laugh...that could be because I just like saying it, Autopsy Gremlin...Autopsy Gremlin...Autopsy....Ok I'll shut up now Boss.

30. Where in the world did Jenny and Jethro work while partners?

From Quiz Jenny and Jethro

Answer: Europe
