NCIS: Origins - To Have and to Hold
"To Have and to Hold" focuses as much on the underappreciated Mary Jo (Tyla Abercrumbie) as the case of the week which involves the death of a woman recently released from prison for stealing millions of her clients money. The tie-in with NIS is the woman's husband who believed the woman had changed, although facts uncovered over the course of the investigation suggest otherwise. Notably, it's another episode of the series where Gibbs (Austin Stowell) is pushed mainly to the sideline while other characters are highlighted.
As for Mary Jo, the episode showcases the struggles of her being the unofficial mother of NIS, including training a new member of the office (Kayla Maisonet) who makes a pretty big mistake on her first day, while also dealing with divorce papers from her estranged husband (Guy Lockard). A snafu in the paperwork allows for Dominguez (Mariel Molino) to get a little more involved in that part of the episode, but the main focus (like the previous Kowalski and Mike Franks episodes) is to shine the spotlight on another member of the team while also revealing some heartbreak in her past.
