187 1 "Nature of the Beast" Tony Wharmby Gary Glasberg September 20, 2011 (2011-09-20) 19.96[3]

Set over the course of several months, the episode follows a series of events surrounding the investigation given to Tony by SECNAV in "Pyramid", culminating in the death of an NCIS agent. Secretary Jarvis assigned Tony to the investigation after a dead Navy Captain was found with an incision in his arm. After Ducky discovers security footage of EJ Barrett removing a microchip from the body of Special Agent Gayne Levin, suspicion falls on her. The Major Case Response Team begin to suspect EJ is the target of Tony's investigation, but EJ confides to Tony that Levin asked her to remove the microchip. The team learns that the microchips provide access to a classified Navy fleet, known as the 'Watchers'. Tony is lured to a meeting with EJ and her buyer, revealed to be Barrett's other team member and the target of Tony's investigation, Special Agent Simon Cade. During the meeting, all three are shot. Cade is killed, Tony is knocked unconscious and Barrett is missing. As Tony recalls the meeting, he realises they were set up by the shooter, an FBI agent in league with the Office of Naval Intelligence's Director of Special Operations, who places the microchips up for auction.

The evidence leads them to her uncle, the one pulling the strings in the scam, who killed Hill when he discovered the deception.

Booth was a friend of McGee's grandmother, Penelope Langhorne, who developed a research project for the military known as the ANAX Principle before the outbreak of the Vietnam War. The ANAX Principle was then shut down for four decades before being restarted. It uses specially-bred caterpillars to create a genetically-engineered plague. Booth's killer is revealed as Max Ellswood, one of the original researchers of the ANAX Principle, who killed the lieutenant when Booth planned to reveal the program to the press. At the end of the episode McGee and his grandmother speak of how Gibbs reminds them of McGee's father. McGee ultimately decides to call his dad who he hasn't spoken to in seven years.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Palmer struggles with plans for his upcoming wedding.

190 4 "Enemy on the Hill" Dennis Smith George Schenck & Frank Cardea October 11, 2011 (2011-10-11) 18.98[6]

A hitman known as "The Cooler" is hit by a van when trying to escape a news camera crew. While investigating, Gibbs and his team discover that he was about to carry out a contract on Geoffrey Brett, a Navy lieutenant. Brett initially refuses a protective detail, prompting Gibbs to send Ziva to shadow him. Sifting through Brett's finances, the team discovers that Brett and a woman working for the IRS was laundering money from the Navy for his young daughter; however, the woman he worked with eventually grew greedy: she put a price on Brett's head so that she would have sole access to the accounts Brett was laundering money from and would be able to continue the fraud for her own gain. Brett also murdered his co-worker in revenge for hiring the hit, and later covered her murder up by making it seem as though she hung herself.

Meanwhile, Abby volunteers to donate a kidney. Results from testing show her as having a brother. She later meets him but decides against revealing the DNA match. The end of the episode sees Abby tell Gibbs of the evidence which suggests she may have been adopted as a child.

The NCIS team discover that a Lebanese family seeking asylum has stowed away on the boat. As Ziva begins to bond with the family, evidence emerges that Cooper was shot with ammunition sold to the Lebanese government, and Gibbs begins to suspect a political connection. NCIS discover that Cooper was killed in order to force the vessel to dock at Norfolk, where a bomb on board would be detonated, destroying half the Norfolk naval base. The plot was masterminded by Hakim, one of the asylum seekers, as revenge for the death of his sister during an air strike during the Lebanese Civil War. Meanwhile, Tony and McGee conspire to find the "perfect woman" for Gibbs.

An NCIS case changes from accidental death to murder when evidence reveals that a Navy lieutenant died of forced over-hydration. The team discovered that the victim, Jason, had been drugged with ecstacy, causing severe dehydration; this led him to over-hydrate, causing water toxification. When a second victim, Alcott, is found bound to a tree and also dead by way of water toxification, NCIS realise that both Jason and Alcott had failed marriages, and had been members of outreach programs and targeted by a serial killer.

Meanwhile, Gibbs meets Ducky's new love interest, Mary, a woman he met online. McGee realises that Mary is connected to the same program as Jason and Alcott, and is responsible for their deaths. Ducky is disturbed by his misplaced judgement of Mary, feeling guilty that he did not see her deception sooner.

Based on the level of pathogens in the equipment used to manuacture the virus, Abby is able to determine that the target is actually the VIP box, where some of the most powerful people in the armed forces are present. The kidnappers are led by a Department of Homeland Security agent, who was paid off by someone inside the military-industrial complex.

In order to make a political statement, the cell is planning a terrorist attack in Washington, plotting to blow up school buses carrying three hundred students from a private girls' school while on a field trip. Gibbs and his team track down the sole remaining terrorist (by tricking the terrorist's younger brother into revealing his knowledge of the attack, telling him that his older brother was captured and that his sister committed suicide), and McGee jams the the terrorist's cell phone from making calls, preventing the terrorist from detonating the bombs.
