NCIS season 19 episode 6 promo: Does Parker want brownie points?
With that being said, there is one thing that feels crystal clear after watching it: It’s obvious at this point that Alden Parker is the new Special Agent in Charge. All signs pointed to this at the end of episode 5, though we did have some lingering feeling that McGee would step up, say that he wanted the job, and be handed it instead. That apparently doesn’t happen, at least not yet.
New NCIS video! Watch our take on episode 5 below, including our current feeling on Parker being the apparent new “boss.” Once you do just that, be sure to SUBSCRIBE to Matt & Jess on YouTube. There are a lot of updates on the way and we don’t want you missing any of them.
The promo does give us at least a slight sense of how Parker is going to handle this job, and that includes in particular one thing: Pastries! Clearly, he has a different way of doing things than Gibbs; he wants to make the other agents feel cared for at the job, which means offering them baked goods at the start of a work day. McGee responds to his gesture by saying that ultimately, they’re used to just having orders barked at them by Gibbs. Maybe this will get Alden some brownie points, but in general, it’s going to be hard for McGee and Torres in particular to adjust to someone new wandering around the office. It’s of course easier for Jessica Knight, given that she was barely around Gibbs in the first place.
For those wondering, the case at the heart of this episode is about a dead Navy Commander responsible for training some top athletes. Depending on what they were involved in, there could be a motive for a number of people to want this guy gone.
