A brief recap of NCIS season 23 episode 5

In NCIS season 23 episode 6, Now and Then, the NCIS team reopens an old case after an inmate who is about to be set free in three weeks' time, Thomas Mulligan, escapes from prison. Retired Agent Vera Strickland also inserts herself into the case, much to Parker's chagrin, because she's bored with retirement and she's part of the team that investigated Mulligan's case 30 years ago.

As the manhunt for Mulligan ensues, the team uncovers new evidence that proves his innocence. They also find out that he broke out of prison to save his son, Jason, who plans to kill Congressman Wallace. It turns out that Wallace started a chain of events that led to Mulligan taking the blame for Burke's murder.

Wallace killed his grandfather, and in distraught, Lainey, who was having an affair with Jason, killed Burke, believing that he killed Old Wallace. The town went mum about Lainey because Burke was a bully, but Mulligan implicated himself to save Lainey and their son. Vera Strickland and Alden Parker stop Jason from assassinating Wallace, but the latter is facing jail time for his crimes.

Major events to expect in NCIS season 23 episode 6

There is no shortage of crimes to solve for the NCIS team, but the next one will hit right close to home. Here are some potential plot developments and highlights in next week's NCIS season 23 episode 6:

  • Tim McGee will be the next episode's spotlight, which will feature both success and tragedy for the NCIS team member.
  • The episode synopsis teases a tragic turn of events for the NCIS team when McGee is kidnapped by a self-proclaimed No. 1 fan while promoting the latest installment of his Deep Six crime book series.
  • As with most of the team's cases, things are not always as they seem because McGee's kidnapping is not a simple kidnapping case. The one who abducted him is potentially related to a murder case and the theft of classified documents, putting him in even more danger in the hands of a so-called super fan.
