Warning… Spoilers below!
On the Mid-Season Finale of NCIS Season 20 Episode 9 “Higher Education”, two women witness a man strip off his clothing and run into the street, only to be hit by a vehicle and die.
Delilah
McGee has written a novel under the pen name Thom E. Gemcity with the lead character named Agent Tibbs. The team gets called to investigate the man hit by the vehicle, Midshipman William Watson. William should have been at NROTC, but was suffering from heat stroke in the middle of winter. McGee has a fanboy moment when he spots William’s Louis Vuitton Trainers in his favorite color.
While watching a surveillance video of an alleyway where William was spotted earlier in the day, McGee watches his wife, Delilah, have a clandestine meeting with William. McGee is shocked and concerned and begins calling Delilah, who doesn’t answer. Delilah is busy teaching a class at the same school that William went to.
Parker and McGee head to the university to ask Delilah some questions about William. When McGee tells Delilah that William passed away after being poisoned with MDMA, Delilah is determined to help answer any questions involving William’s death.
Undercover
Torres and Knight head to the fraternity that Will was pledging into. Torres searches Will’s room and finds a hidden laptop inside his mattress. Hines investigates the contents of Will’s laptop and finds that he developed a powerful Cipher. Will has developed a digital skeleton key that can bypass any government-encrypted security program.
Everyone around the office is very nervous that Delilah was involved. Delilah and McGee start bickering because of all the tension and suspicion. Hines explains that William made a copy of the key and downloaded it on a flash drive. Will’s keys that have the flash drive on them were wiped down clean with bleach and the copy is missing.
Knight and Torres question one of the frat brothers whose shirt is covered in bleach, He claims to be innocent and tells them that they need to look at Jared. The team stakes out the frat house looking for Jared. When Jared spots the NCIS Agents, he takes off running down the street. A van marked Molly’s Mobile Grooming pulls up next to Jared and lets him in before they escape down the street. Parker recognizes the van and knows it is used for FBI undercover operations. Jared is an undercover FBI Agent!
The FBI tells Director Vance that Will was recruited by Belarus and is part of a spy ring. The team figures out that Delilah’s TA, Evelyn, was William’s handler but didn’t kill him. Evelyn has an airtight alibi because she was in the library at the time when William was poisoned. Delilah remembers that Logan, one of Will’s frat brothers, took her class but dropped right out. Logan admits he stole the flash drive to change his grades.
