Plot summary
To recover DHS 's "terror playbook" – dozens of simulated, successful attacks and responses – Torres follows Venezuelan operative Ferdinand Pisco, who is killed. Pisco's phone reveals four more buyers. LeSalle and Percy find Monica Grange, also stabbed. McGee saves Sebastian struggling with another buyer. Undercover as Grange, Gregorio meets the seller, Eva Azarova, while Maren Morris performs. LeSalle and Percy capture a North Korean operative. The last buyer remains unknown. Sebastian misidentifies the assassin; Gregorio fights Azarova, who denies murdering buyers. While kidnapping Torres, Russian agent Victor's gunmen steal the playbook, which Eva voice-locked.
Questioned, Eva tells Pride she stole the playbook as bait for revenge against "my mentor" Victor, who trained her during childhood "to do terrible things...I would have justice." McGee enlists the NSA "to consolidate footage" and track Victor's SUV, discovering where Torres is held; a thirty-story building. Pride meets Victor to trade Torres for Eva, who kills Victor. Eva calls Victor's gunmen to forestall them killing Torres, while Sebastian and McGee pinpoint Torres on the seventeenth floor. Torres escapes his binding, killing one gunman, before LaSalle and Percy saves him from the second. Eva faces federal prison, while Pride updates Gibbs. Note: This episode concludes a crossover event that begins on NCIS season 14 episode 15.
