Psych Out (NCIS)

[1] In the episode, a Navy Reservist from Pentagon's Psy Ops division is shot during his own suicide, making Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) work with a psychiatrist to solve the case.

Upon investigation into Banks' life, the team discover that someone was using PsyOps techniques to destroy him, such as replacing his medicine with poisonous substances.

Afterwards, Ryan calls Gibbs in the middle of the night, telling him that he has a special gift for making people feel safe, and asks him out for breakfast, to which he replies that he knows a diner that is open 24 hours.

[3][4] In the aftermath of "Life Before His Eyes", "Gibbs has perhaps shed some of the guilt he carried over his wife's death, which may open him up to new relationships", according to Executive producer Gary Glasberg.

[5] Jamie Lee Curtis portrays psychiatrist Samantha Ryan in the episode, and her character "knows how to get inside people's heads and she knows how to spar with Gibbs", Glasberg told TV Guide.

Despite portraying a character we were meant to intensely distrust and dislike from the get-go, Curtis turned in a strong, nuanced performance and commanded the screen alongside Mark Harmon throughout".
