Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. At the very beginning of the episode, what was the topic of the conversation that Ziva and Tony were having?

Answer: sperm donation

Apparently Tony sold his sperm for money while in college. 14 years later, he gets a letter in the mail from the donation clinic asking to speak with him as soon as possible. Tony acts anxious about not knowing why they need to speak to him.

2. Why does McGee feel so troubled about the death of the man that was standing by the SUV?

Answer: this was the first person McGee has killed

McGee's felt guilty. This was the first person that he has had to kill in the line of duty. When a dead person is involved, his main concern is not with his marksmanship or the grossness of the autopsy. He only wanted the team to find the bullet to reassure himself that he made the right decision.

It still might bother him to know that he killed a man, but it would not be as bad if he knew the killing was justified. Tony later admitted to McGee that the first time he had to shot someone, he wet his pants.

Answer: He doesn't know how to lie

Gibbs tells Ziva that McGee doesn't know how to lie. It is obvious by Gibbs' past and present behavior that he is not fond of Eli David, and, by this episode, Ari is already dead. Judging by Ziva's reaction, she is irritated by this statement, but seems to acknowledge that it is the truth.

4. Abby identifies the dead man using his fingerprints. The team learns that the man was an undercover cop. Which organization did the man work for?

Answer: Metro Police

The man McGee killed was a detective working undercover for the Metro Police. The team was initially unable to identify the man by his driver's license because it was a fake. After discovering the ID was fake, they turned to using his fingerprints. Because he was a cop, his fingerprints were in the AFIS database.

5. Gibbs sends Tony and Ziva to, again, try to find the bullet that the dead cop supposedly fired at McGee. During the process, Tony seems to get aggravated with Ziva. Why is he upset with her?

Answer: Ziva thinks that there is no bullet to find because McGee simply overreacted

Tony seemed upset because he felt that Ziva should be working harder to help prove McGee's innocence. She felt that looking for the bullet again was a waste of time. She also questioned Tony as to whether or not he always blindly follows Gibbs' orders. Of course he does! Imagine the head slaps he'd get if he didn't.

6. What does Abby do to force McGee to remain in her "therapy session"?

Answer: She handcuffs him to the chair

Abby mentions that she never leaves home without a pair of handcuffs. McGee should have known this, having dated Abby in the past.

7. When Tony comes by McGee's apartment, what does he want to go do to make McGee feel better?

Answer: take him out to a night club

Tony tells McGee, "When the going gets tough, the tough go clubbing!" No doubt that, by "clubbing", Tony meant "strip clubbing".

8. What time did Ziva say she got up to come into work?

Answer: 0400

By the time Gibbs got work the morning after the incident, Ziva was already at her desk working on a list of possible SUV's that match McGee's description.

9. While on the phone with the sperm bank, how does DiNozzo spell his name for the woman on the phone?

Answer: Big D, little I, Big N, little ozzo

For some reason, when he spelled out his name this way, it made me laugh out loud. The playful spelling matches Tony's playful personality. By the way, we later found out that the reason the sperm bank wanted to talk to him was that no one wanted his sperm. Poor Tony, I bet that was a blow to the ego.

10. At the very end of the episode, what was McGee's main concern when he was speaking to Abby?

Answer: determining who fired the shot that killed the cop

McGee was asking Abby if she was able to analyze the ballistics enough to determine which one of the bullets was the kill shot. The team discovered that the cop's partner, the person in the SUV, initially was the one that shot the cop. When McGee saw the powder blast and heard the gunshot, he assumed the person outside the car was shooting at him, so he returned fire. McGee then struck him with two shots. Ducky confirmed via autopsy, that two of the shots were non-lethal, but a third shot was the kill shot.

It would have greatly put McGee's mind at rest to know that it was not his shots that actually killed the cop. Unfortunately, Abby could not determine which shot was the kill shot.
