NCIS: Origins - Touchstones
A break-in of the evidence room and the theft of $41,000 dollars allows the show to explore the backstory of one of the show's recurring characters in property master Kowalski (Michael Harney) as events bring old memories and feelings to the surface that cause him to resign (although he's back with NIS by the end of the episode). The Kowalski situation is also notable for exploring his relationship with Granville (Daniel Bellomy) while the search for the missing money implicates a member of NIS and also allows for another appearance by Special Agent Gary Callahan and ends up being tied to events in "All's Not Lost" as well.
It's the second episode in a row where Gibbs (Austin Stowell) feels a bit pushed aside for other characters to be highlighted. He is on hand for the investigation (and putting his carpentry to work, and "Touchtones" does finally give us the talk between Gibbs and Dominguez (Mariel Molino) putting any further romance between the pair on hold (at least for now).
