As is typical with many NCIS episodes, the show starts with the murder of a member of the Navy. As the team investigates, they learn that the killer. May be perhaps, out of this world. This leads to a sidebar as the members of the team debate if they believe in UFOs (even though they are given a different name) or not.
After watching video of the officer's testimony before a congressional hearing, they seek answers from the congresswoman heading the hearings. This leads the team to a company producing next generation AI.
Soon, they discover the program had been hacked, leading to the navy officer's death. They enlist the man who wrote the program to bring a stop to it.
In an ending that was inspired by the first "hacker" film, Wargames, the team learns that the program is named for the programmers son. The son, much like in the movie Wargames, died as a child, so in grief, the program named the new software in honor of his son. In an emotional scene, the programmer realizes the only way to stop the hackers from selling the program to foreign enemies, is to terminate it. As the programmer presses the button the delete the program, Parker consoles him by reminding him at least this time, he got to say good bye.
This really could end up a classic episode. It had humor, and in the end, tugs at the heartstrings with an emotion impact. This is really a contender for best episode of the Parker era.
