The house special is Navy Lt. Davis Mooney, whod been cooking in that cauldron for about two weeks.

And then, to Sloanes great delight, all the neighbors start spilling the tea.

Cul-de-sacs are a psychological gold mine, she says.

The team also finds Mooneys ex-wife, whos been in Puerto Rico.

She calls on her way back home to tell them Mooney was working on a book.

The Dentists MO varied, but each victim had a tooth taken as a trophy.

I already love the sound of this.

The soundtrack switches to ominous when Torres takes off his apron and asks, What if wearea couple?

Palmer then stands, drains his wine, and removes his glasses.

When Gibbs arrives, Palmers pumped and shadowboxing, and Torres is frustrated.

Its like that, but with legal consequences.

He also leaves a bag of crime-buddy donuts and a cute note on Torres desk.

Good thing, because Sloane demands a donut in payment when Gibbs orders Torres to talk with her.

Sloane chalks it up to social media and politics-driven fear and anxiety.

In fact, she suggests he be nicer tohimself.

In fact, Dacey says Mooney claimed to have moved into a neighborhood with the real Dentist.

Cmon, McGee, you know better than that.

It contains a wooden box with nine teeth inside, arrayed in a gruesome semicircle.

This causes the team to ask what makes a serial killer stop cold turkey.

One suggestion is a lifestyle change such as marriage or kids.

Gibbs pulls a knife and dramatically slams it into the table, but Dave keeps his poker face.

(True, but their murders are often of the quieter variety.)

He explains that Reeves gave him the sunglasses after Torres complimented him on them.

They agree that they miss their buddy.

He was kind, Bishop says, and Torres says, The kindest.

Then she helps Torres inside for coffee.
