"One Flew Over" is more memorable for the Gibbs' (Austin Stowell) storylines than the murder of the week involving an elderly woman with dementia found dead in the woods. For Gibbs we get a present involving him taking care of an injured bird while flashbacks tie back, in an not-so-subtle metaphor, to the soldier's early interactions with Franks (Kyle Schmid) after returning home and his frustrations with the murderer still roaming free. Before the end, we'll also see Franks being unable to let a personal case go providing some understanding and commonalities between Franks and his probie.
All of the big moments from the episode come from the flashbacks and taking care of the bird also gives Gibbs and Franks something to bond over. The case isn't all that interesting, introducing a rather obvious suspect early on, a few red herrings in the local homeless, and then returning to someone with a personal motive for the crime. The episode is also notable for the team trying to track down an older case in the department allowing for several cameos confirming the size of NIS is much bigger than just Franks and his team.
