Cassidy, grief-stricken, begins blaming herself for what happened. Gibbs and his team are sent to investigate the deaths with Cassidy joining them during the investigation. While Ducky is sure that the man who Cassidy received the tip from was dead at least one day before the explosion even happened, Cassidy and Abby insist otherwise. The episode marks the final appearance of NCIS Special agent Paula Cassidy, who is killed when she sacrifices herself to stop a suicide bomber. ==Plot== Two NCIS agents are killed when they follow a possible lead inside a building, which explodes. Both agents are part of NCIS Agent Paula Cassidy's team, leaving her the only one surviving the attack. Originally, Gibbs' team was supposed to be on duty for the week-end, but it was later changed by Gibbs. Dr. Mallard proposes that the man who was in the store was a suicide bomber. Two men, Wahid and Malik, come to the store, telling the team that they are part of The Muslim Coalition for Peace that works there. Ziva finds the head of the suicide bomber, and Wahid and Malik tell the team that it's the head of their chapter president, Yazid, who was planning a conference. Later, back at the crime scene, DiNozzo finds an escape route through the wall, which the terrorist used. The team later finds that Ducky was right in saying their tip had died the day before and the terrorist had used a computer to digitally make it sound like the actual person to lead the team into a trap. The conference continues to go forward, with a special memorial for Yazid at the building that blew up held by high-ranking Muslim clerics, who Gibbs figures to be the real targets. Malik comes out from behind the trick wall, primed with explosives on his chest. Cassidy jumps and tackles Malik, throwing him back behind the wall, and the door automatically closes behind them while also preventing Gibbs and DiNozzo from interfering. In her final moments, Cassidy sees her team-mates standing before her. Seconds later, the bomb then explodes, killing her and Malik while the sheer force of the explosion causes the building to shake. The team are left devastated by Cassidy's death and following on from the attack, Tony arrives at Jeanne's apartment, having finally gained the courage to tell Jeanne he loves her. He does so and then embraces her while crying for Cassidy as R.E.M.'s Everybody Hurts plays in the background. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grace Period (NCIS)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
