NCIS: Secrets

Secrets, indeed. This episode was aptly titled. And it was interesting. We finally got to meet Tony's ex-fiance, Wendy, who no longer teaches preschoolers, but instead, had become a whistlebowing journalist.
The case was also interesting. In a flower shop, the owner and a marine are murdered. NCIS is called out to investigate. It turns out that both murder victims were part of a vigilanty-type group of superheroes, out to protect the neighborhood against crimes and evils. Wendy (Tony's ex-fiance) is a reporter writing a story on such topics. Though it is later found out, that she lied in the investigation, she is fortunately not the killer. (I would have disowned the show if that turned out to be the case.) She was simply refusing to name one of her previous sources, in not naming the navy captain, Jack Wallace. The murderer turned out to the be the bodyguard of another one of the superheroes, who was killing people so the crime rates would go up, and thus property values would go down, so more money could be made by his employer. Yeah, the plot was sort of crazy, but the local superhero cult was an interesting touch, though I wonder if it actually exists.
The real story was between Tony and Wendy, now a divorced, though wealthy, single mother of young Fred. She and Tony still have a spark, and after her car is bombed, Tony is assigned to protect her. And, out of nowhere, shocking me to the core, they have a great make-out scene, and who knows where it would have ended, but then Fred and his nanny walked in, forcing it to end. But the sudden ending fooled no one, and Fred firmly warned Tony that it cannot happen again, which it doesn't.
In the end, Tony and Wendy still are not together, thank goodness. As it turned out, Wendy was the one who abandoned Tony not long before their wedding, because she wasn't ready to be with the love of her life, but now, apparently, she is. However, she leaves Tony because she knows that there is someone else in his life that he cares for deeply, and he should tell her. Perhaps neither of them will ever be happy. Who knows, either way, it was still a decent episode, and many questions finally had an answer, though some new ones were created. Grade: B+
