someone loses their head over it all.</p> <p><a href="/ncis-season-12-episode-4-recap-choke-hold/">NCIS Season 12 Episode 4</a> opened with a ghastly scene in which a Navy research scientist was sitting on a park bench helplessly anticipating her imminent death. She tried to prevent that garrote from killing her by warning everyone not to move her, but do you think they would listen?</p> <p>I guess when the motorized garrote started up and her head popped off, the whole scene became one of those "slap of the forehead" moments. "Oh, NOW I see why she didn't want us to move her. My bad. Totally."</p> <p>Did no one watch the movie (referenced by Tony), The Counselor?</p> <p>The case of the week was interesting, even if it felt a bit like filler. You've got to appreciate the friendly bad guy in Russian counselor Pavlenko, what with all of his lying and misdirection and Snidely Whiplash smiles.</p> <p>We already know he's got a love/hate relationship with international assassin Sergei Mishnev, but I don't know if he realized the extent of Mishnev's involvement with the death of the scientists. We certainly don't know everything.</p> <p>For example: we don't know exactly what Mishnev wanted the scientists to do for him. We know that they were involved with laser technology. Not the weaponized kind, though, as Doctor Havana assures us. </p> <p>We were also told that the manner of their deaths was designed to send a message. The obvious message was to Benin: <em>Join us… or else.</em> Was there another message, however, this time to Gibbs and the NCIS?</p> <p>Kind of neat to see the multipurpose use for those motorized garrotes: great for keeping doors closed, killing people and, ultimately when all else fails, keeping its owner out of jail. Although maybe that last one might be a little radical.</p> <p>Once again we got to see Tony acting like a bit of a clown, as he got surprised by what looks to be his new love interest, Agent Leia Pendergast. </p> <p>First, there was her misdirection as he stood post outside of the washroom as she pretended not to know what was going on. <span style="font-size: 12px;">Then there was the ribbing he took from Bishop and McGee over his interest in </span>Pendergast<span style="font-size: 12px;">. </span></p> <p>And speaking of Pendergast… I don't like her. She's brash and full of herself. <span style="font-size: 12px;">Tony feels differently, of course, and it's apparently because her most compelling feature is that "she fights back." Tony has a type – and apparently it's </span>Ziva<span style="font-size: 12px;"> 2.0.</span></p> <p>Whatever floats your boat, Tony.</p> <p><strong>What did you think of this episode?  Do you like Tony's new love interest?
