The Tell

Gibbs and Dr. Samantha Ryan (Jamie Lee Curtis) work to find out who leaked top secret information.

The hacker's real objective was to hack into a secret AUTEC account that was inactive and had accrued over $300 million in interest.

Further investigation reveals that Wickes' half brother was responsible for the plot, as he believed the money could have helped save their company from bankruptcy.

[3] About the episode, "[Executive producer Gary Glasberg] was thinking a joint NCIS/PsyOps mission, the return of Jamie Lee Curtis’ Dr. Samantha Ryan, and the blooming of Gibbs’ relationship with this intriguing woman".

[5] On March 19, 2012, Executive producer Gary Glasberg confirmed that Ryan will recur in future episodes of the season.

The joint NCIS and PsyOps operation was compelling from the start, and even though things dragged toward the end and meandered into less interesting territory, it was enjoyable overall".
