Back at the station, Gibbs is questioning Robert Miller and discovers he had nothing to do with Sarah Niles’ disappearance. Ducky reasons with Ziva that Laurie may be trying to protect Sarah for some reason. During Miller’s interrogation, Gibbs receives a phone call from Abby who has identified the dead skeleton and also found Robert Miller’s address on a burned piece of paper found in the trunk of the stolen car used to transport Sarah. The dead skeleton was found to have worked as a security guard for Kapp and Associates Law Firm who also happened to employ Laurie Niles as CFO. The team makes their way to the law firm and discovers Laurie and her sister under gunpoint by an unknown man. He is forcing her to enter the law firm’s computer system and transfer money out. At the point of funds transfer, Gibbs shoots the kidnapper and sends Ziva and DiNozzo to find Sarah, which they ultimately do and notify Gibbs. Gibbs tells Laurie that NCIS has her daughter and Laurie proceeds to giver her “sister” actually a woman in cahoots with the kidnapper, as ass stomping rivaled only by Ziva extraction of flesh from the Iranian intelligence agent in the episode, "Shalom".
"Witch Hunt" by far is the best-plotted episode of NCIS, currently in its fourth season. It was humorous, compelling, and further developed Gibbs' personality, particularly his relationship with his memories of his lost family. The episode had great humor between Ziva, Tony, and Tim, while Abby stole the show with her over-the-top Marilyn costume. This was the first 10/10 episode this season.

hello.
Could you tell me what Mary Matilyn Mouser's part in this episode was?
She plays Jethros daughter and I would love to know what the flashback was this time.

Dear Heidur:
Mary Matilyn Mouser appeared very briefly at the end of the episode when Sarah Niles was being taken trick or treating in the NCIS office by Abby. Gibbs was not visible and Lauren Niles was asking Tony to thank him.
Gibbs was on the walk way to the Director's office watching Sarah interact with the staff and Mary Matilyn Mouser;s image was juxtaposed over Sarah Niles. The effect was compelling as we can expect more regarding Gibbs' family.
