NCIS Season 22: The Sneaky Easter Egg You Probably Missed In Episode 13

Contains spoilers for “NCIS” Season 22, Episode 13 — “Bad Blood”

The use of stealth is indeed a common tactic for NCIS agents in their work, yet it was exceptionally utilized in an instance that might have gone unnoticed by many viewers during “Bad Blood”. This was notably done by the show’s set dressing team.

The main side plot of this episode centers around coffee, more specifically, the coffee that Tim McGee’s twins are trying to sell. McGee is determined to outdo their apartment’s superdad by selling as many cups of coffee as possible, which leads him to involve his colleagues in his venture. Kasie Hines gets caught up in the competition, partly due to her high levels of caffeine from the coffee, and starts distributing it to other offices. The most intriguing detail appears when we see a whiteboard in her lab listing the names of various offices and agents, along with the quantity of coffee ordered for each office. Notable characters like Dwayne Pride from “NCIS: New Orleans,” Kensi Blye and G. Callen from “NCIS: LA,” and Jane Tennant from “NCIS: Hawai’i,” along with the amount of coffee ordered for their respective offices, are displayed on the board.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but admit that Kassie and Alden Parker (Gary Cole) are so engrossed in their case that they barely give the list a second glance. And it dawns on me too, much like McGee, that my preoccupation with the adrenaline rush of the selling competition has blinded me from seeing what’s truly important.

McGee accepts that he doesn’t have to be a superdad to get his kid’s respect

In the series “Bad Blood,” McGee encounters an old adversary named Fletcher Voss (T.J. Thyne), a billionaire tech mogul who was last seen in Season 21’s episode “A Thousand Yards” – the show’s milestone 1,000th episode. Due to his past actions, no one is eager to reconcile with Voss. He had been responsible for shooting Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll) the previous year due to concerns over the government halting use of one of his apps, causing further financial distress. However, he has since sold Bandium, made a fortune, and started a new DNA company, which is linked to the gruesome death of a pregnant woman working for him.

Voss is the child’s father, but this time he’s not guilty; instead, he’s the one being victimized by the true culprit. During the transfusion process and as they mourn over the lost competition, the two men reach a shared understanding: It isn’t about constantly striving for perfection to be a good father, but rather simply being present – whether you have cups of coffee in hand or not. Given that McGee’s own dad is a divisive character within his life and among “NCIS” fans, this realization strikes as an incredibly sensible one for him.
