NCIS recap: Gibbs probes the wounds of Pearl Harbor
The day lives in infamy, and almost 80 years later its legacy drives the emotionally resonant finale ofAdmiral Michael Caplinger, head of the Fleet Forces Command, returns home from 45 days at sea and finds the leaded glass on his front door smashed, blood on the floor, and his daughter’s Purple Heart medal missing.
Joe pops the cap off his root beer and quizzes Torres and Bishop about the attack on Pearl Harbor. What day did it happen? How many people died on the U.S.S. Arizona? He wrote three letters to Caplinger, who attended every internment when he was the commander of the Pacific Fleet, but Joe never heard back. Now he’ll only return the Purple Heart once he has it in writing that Caplinger will see him laid to rest in the Arizona. The only proof he can offer is an ancient burn scar on his arm that he says is from the Japanese bomb.
Gibbs shoots back that if it was so bad, why does Joe want to be buried there? At that point, Joe shuts down. With a shout, Joe opens up about the whole day. It began with him tossing a football on the quarterdeck with Ozzie O’Connor, waiting to catch the liberty launch to play on the beach. Then he heard a plane approaching and saw the red ball on its wing.
Nevertheless, Gibbs and Joe go to the motel to secure the Purple Heart, which Joe left in a safe place: the air vent in the ceiling. As Gibbs unscrews the vent, Joe calls him “son,” which I love, and encourages Gibbs to talk about what he saw in his own war. “It may make you lighter, too.
