On his way to visit with the US president, professor Dubotu- peoples poet beloved by Sudanese, was mugged. A car pulled up and chased the mugger away at gunpoint then slugged Dubotu and kidnapped him. Harm and Mac have returned from Russia and H packed up his fathers memorabilia that he kept in his office. He removed his fathers MIA bracelet that he had always worn. Webb and Chegwidden brief them on a "mission" that the SECNAV had authorized. Since the Sudanese president had been assassinated two factions were fighting for power. In the north was Ambassador Ki Moshak, new school, politically savvy and says he'll let there be US presence; in the south was, hard-liner, old school, US hating general Hyad Zulake. Dubotu hadn't taken sides but whoever he endorses would win. H had given a "joyride" to Moshak in a tomcat previously and so was invited to a ball at the embassy. W wanted he and M to tap into Moshak's computer during a 6 second power loss planned for that night. Both C and H "smelled a rat" and questioned W about what he wasn't telling them. They both got into the stairwell during the blackout. M feigned passing out drunk and being sick to draw the two guards from the security room while H entered the ambassadors office and de-focused the camera. M was going to be forcibly removed but she barged back into the embassy room forcing a more rapid initiation of "act one" the take over of the embassy where Moshak was shot in the shoulder. H still up in the office called C and told him of the take over. Then when the camera problem was discovered and repaired he disabled the guard and went to find M. H overheard Moshak talk to the leader of the "rebels," Col Shahala, and tell him not to loose nerve and be ready for "act two." H and M watched as a message from Shahala was broadcast to an external uplink and claimed that they were Gen Zulake's forces, offered to release Moshak for medical attention to which he magnanimously refused.
W who was in Cs office watching the network channels was summoned to the DOD meeting but C refused to let him leave as long as his people were messed up in Ws problem. The SECNAV came ranting with rhetoric until C stood up to him with it was he who had authorized it! Shahala and Moshak went on the air again with "act 2" where Shahala pulled his gun to shoot Moshak but they fought and was shot instead- actually killed with a look of surprise. M went to the roof and H the basement. M was captured and taken to Moshak. H found Dubotu being held in the basement and rescued him only to be lectured about shooting the guard! "Violence begets violence", he said, and "in your country you GO to war, in mine war comes to us." He refused to take a gun from H. Moshak radioed to his guard to "find Rabb" and H flippantly used the radio to say "I'll be right there." Moshak then used M as a hostage to draw H. Dubotu still refused to help. H routed the security camera of the ambassadors office into the external up-link just as the power went off in police "standard procedure." H was captured and taken to Moshak. He declined a drink but asked for a cigar. He stood by the window and flicked his lighter in Morse code "P W R." B, watching the television, recognized Hs shoulder boards and knew the code. He deduced that H was saying "turn back on the power." After obstructing for a minute C pressured him into ordering the power back on. They then saw the video from the office and W recognized a container of Ebola Virus on the desk. C then recognized that W had used his people- again. W said that Moshak had rumoredly expressed interest in chemical weapons shortly before some were stolen from a US lab. C got in his face about "better get them out of there" and W asked "or what, you'll break my nose, again?" He eventually gave the order for his people to "get in there." M told H that she was ok because Moshak "hits like a girl." When Moshak realized what H had done they hurriedly convinced him that his only recourse was to "run quickly to the Iranian embassy for refuge." He did, but took M and the Ebola with him. Dubotu convinced the guards to put their weapons down non-violently and H ran after M. Moshak laid a vial on a cart and rolled it toward H. M called "incoming" and H was able to shoot Moshak in time to catch the vial before it hit the ground. M took Moshak down and told him to "never hit a lady."
they convinced Dubotu to broadcast to his people from the podium. B absentmindedly took a pregnancy test from Harriet then realized while he was talking to C that Ht was pregnant. W told M that she had ruined the government's dress and she said "so bill me." H and M left the embassy arm in arm with H saying "We should go out together more often." M said "yea, I had a wonderful time."

Gypsy Eyes - 64
[The long awaited follow-up from last season's cliffhanger which left Harm and Mac in Russia flying their stolen MIG into a cloud and followed immediately by a missile which exploded. Probably the most pivotal episode in the entire series and includes many of the Russian characters we have met over the past years, unknowingly a prelude to this episode. It has a somewhat complicated plot with difficulties in understanding all the motives; but, provides "closure" to at least one of the sub-plots - or does it?] Before the missiles hit Harm and Mac in their stolen MIG, they went into a cloud and punched out! Gypsy brother and sister, Vasya and Ruszka, found H hanging, conconscious without his helmit, in a tree and tried to steal his silk parachute. H was rescued from a knife fight by M who hadn't gotten hung up in a tree, had a gun and money for a bribe. Major Mark Sokol (aka Falcon, KGB) was actively trying to find them. He was connected to Parlovski (also KGB and who had sent H the photo of his father in Russia); but, both were trying to keep their affiliations a secret from H and M. The SECNAV was more than willing to accept that H and M were both dead (from hitting a flock of migrating geese during a 'demonstration ride') as the Russians were claiming. Chegwidden, however, wasn't and had to tell the SECNAV "you don't want to try and stop me" from going to Russia to investigate.
Alexei, the cab driver who took H and M around and arranged their MIG ride, picked Chegwidden up at the airport. Chuck DePalma, ZNN reporter, told C that: "it's September and geese don't migrate in Russia until November"; the Russian pilot had been taken to prison by the KGB; and, Alexi was really working for Sokol. Actually, through the show, Alexi was shown working for: Sokol, Parlovski, the Russian Mafia AND Webb. Webb appeared in Russia and disclosed that ONE of the KGB agents (either Sokol or Parlovski) was procuring six nuclear tipped missiles for the Mafia, which they intended to sell to the highest bidder. Alexei was tracking them all and couldn't blow his cover. Webb said that he didn't know which agent was rogue so C realized that H was being used as the bait. So "whoever kills H and M is your man," he mocked at W!
Meanwhile H and M were traveling with the gypsies who, partly due to the money they were given, befriended the two. Ruszka had a dream where she was bathing in a small pool when four Russian soldiers began attacking her. H came to her rescue but had to fight off her brother who was trying to stop him. H then shot and killed three of the soldiers but was killed by the fourth. The gypsy, who claimed to have been having these type of predictive dreams since she was 12, thought that it meant H would be killed in Russia. H convinced Vasya to take them to the train station. Sokol was there waiting for them. He called out for H and M to show themselves and promised that he was trying to protect them and that he would take H to Beloyka to find his father. M convinced H to follow her intuition and believe her that Sokol was NOT the one trying to kill them..
C, W, Alexi and the Russian CIA office agent were in Alexi's taxi at the airport, watching what would happen. They had intercepted a call to Parlovski that Sokol had found H and M and was bringing them in. W revealed that whoever was the rogue agent was the same KGB agent who had arranged for Harm's father's train transfer to Russia. Angry, C took Ws gun and said that if W had gotten H and M killed he would "put him in the ground" as well. Sokol landed with H and M alive, so they realized that the rogue agent had to be Parlovski. W continued to want to wait and see who Parlovski led them to, even when Parlovski's driver was going for his gun! C slammed his foot on the gas and commandeered the cab through the fence and came out shooting. He killed Parlovski's driver. Parlovski shot Sokol and H shot Parlovski several times; but, then before Parlovski died, H begged him to tell where they had taken his father. He whispered... Suischevo. H was surprised to see C and Webb there. He asked W what he "was doing here" and C replied "getting decked" before he slugged W on the chin, knocking him to the ground.
H & M found a woman in Suischevo, Pitchta, who, many years previously, had found Rabb Sr. in her barn after he had escaped from the work gulag train. R had then worked with her family for two years, never told them who he was or where he came from; but, she said, always looked toward the horizon. She showed H where she, her Brother and Tete (the name she called R) had gone to picnic one day. Then, she described the details of the same incident that had been in the gypsy's "vision." It had been Pitchta who the soldiers were attacking and her brother who had tried to stop "Tete" from intervening. Then she added that her brother, seeing Tete's bravery, had killed the fourth soldier with his bare hands. He had buried all their bodies in the Taiga forest near their home, never revealing the location to anyone lest they were seen visiting the graves. But, he had also died fifteen years previously. The woman became upset reminiscing over her "Tete" and H let her hold him. H turned to the forest and said "goodbye dad, I love you."

To Russia With Love - 61
[The season finale and 'cliff-hanger - A very key episode especially considering that creator Donald Bellisario appeared in a cameo (but pivotal) role, 'Hugh Blackadder,' Harm's stepfather's Russian friend] Harm's Russian nemesis, Parlovski, sent H a photo of his father in Russia with a note that said "this one's for real." Webb told H the names of the person's in the photo and revealed that Viktor Lushov, standing next to Rabb sr., was a Russian pilot who interrogated downed pilots in Vietnam, and was now working in San Diego. H flew there to inform his mother, Trish, and stepfather Frank Burnett about everything. Trish gave H an "if I don't come back" tape of his father's, that he'd never heard; and, Frank told him that "although you never thought of me as a father, you are the only son I've ever had" and offered help through Hugh Blackadder in Russia. Lushov then told H everything, including his dad's KGB number (S-394-652). He said that Rabb had given him misinformation under his interrogation "which was worse than telling me nothing." Both being pilots, Lushov and Rabb became unlikely friend's and Lushov got Rabb medical treatment, then told the KGB that he had been helpful and would probably continue to be in the future, so they took him to Russia instead of killing him. R was sent to the Gulag mines; then, after he injured his leg in an accident, was sent north to Siberia - a photo being taken at the train station.
Although C was initially upset that H had lied to him in order to get leave to take the flight to San Diageo, he let H take leave and go to Russia; but, sent M along with him to "watch his six - in Russian." They had to share a hotel room because there were no other vacancies. They met Alexi, a taxi driver, spy who worked for the highest bidder. They were picked up by Mark (Falcon) Sokol who told them that photos were really phony and that someone was trying to destabilize US Russian relations. Then Parlovski told them that it was Sokol who was trying to destabilize US Russian relations, and neither claimed to be KGB. Webb told H and M that they were really being "set up" because both were, in fact, KGB and may be working separately or together. Sokol revealed that he had grown up in Houston Texas with spy parents and tried to "spark" Mac. He said he wanted her to trust him so M said "then help H find his father." He agreed to help, IF H would give him the name of the informant and agree to never reveal the results to anyone. Sokol then brought the KGB file which M read finding that R had been taken "to Beloyka where he escaped from the train." Sokol was shown telling Parlovski that "they believe it and were going to Beloyka in the morning." Alexi found that all Beloyka flights were cancelled; so, H got money from Hugh Blackadder and bought a "ride" in a MIG. He and M stole the jet, however. Alexi, having second thoughts, tried to get them not to fly and had to finally reveal that "they are waiting for you, it's a trap so they can shoot you down as spies"; but, he wouldn't tell them who it was. Mac was getting sick and hated flying with H. They flew undetected until H got the radar working so he could climb. The "to be continued" showed Harm calling "incoming" as two missiles were heading toward them into the clouds.

Wedding Bell Blues - 60
A male stripper got Harm's dress white uniform from an incompetent East Indian cleaner and used it in his act gaining front page publicity of his backside, Lt Cdr stripes, aviators wings and JAG millryan- who else could it be? H was having it cleaned for participation in Bud and Harriet's wedding so needed to retrieve it. He needed to date the owners single daughter in order to get the apartment address of the Joe Garvey, who had received it, which was now occupied by a woman who tried to seduce him before revealing Joe worked at "rocket men" strip club. H finally retrieved it as it was removed one item at a time during the act. He was surprised to see Ht and her mother there putting money in men's pants for the bachelorette party. Ht eventually decided that she "needed to see Bud" and had M take her mother home.
B prosecuted his first case against seaman Robert Cruthers who was found to be 10-years UA when arrested on another charge. B selected "desertion" over his mentor Mac's objection, then turned it into a "you don't think I can do it" issue. He called many witnesses and asked only one or two questions which upset them. He eventually won the case and his brother "Mikey" said "mom would be proud." His dad "Big Bud" said "what for? Ruining some guys life who wasn't hurting anyone?" The next day in sentencing phase B realized what M had tried to tell him and asked for a "dishonorable discharge" but not other penalty. BB was loud, inappropriate, rude, controlling and abusive. B confided to H of BBs abuse when he saw Mk had a black eye. He said "I spent a lifetime trying to get away from all that - I'm worried about Mikey." H recommended he get it out in the open. BB threw a "crossing the line" bachelor party at a strip club but his credit card wasn't honored so Chegwidden had to talk to the owner, putting up collateral. B helped an ill woman law student to the restroom- she thought she might be pregnant. When H returned from retrieving his uniform, BB insulted a woman who missed a swing at him, hitting B instead. B flew into another man creating a domino effect and a bar fight. While H, B & C were getting jumped on, BB took Mk and ran. Ht arrived in time to see the police arrest everyone including B with the pregnant law student. The officer asked C if he remembered prosecuting "USN vs. Seaman Moska" then "are the handcuff's too tight… SIR?" M came to bail them all out.
Pouting, and without asking any explanations, Ht said she was "calling off" the wedding. Her mother was still raggin' on her until leaving M, the maid of honor, to "talk her down." Ht finally told her mother that "this is MY day," and she could "either enjoy it or sashay your southern belle butt back home!"
M used cosmetics to cover Mk's black eye. Then BB showed up and began provoking a fight with B. When BB threw a punch, B caught it in his fist then told him to "never hit Mk or me again." Against Bs pleas Mikey followed BB out of the apartment. B warned that he never wanted to see BB again. Mikey did come back for the ceremony, which was full military. H, as best man, led the honor guard with a saber arch to present Lt & Mrs. Bud J Roberts Jr. As Ht went by him, H swatted her bottom with the flat of his sword proclaiming "Go Navy!" M made a bee-line to H to find out who his Indian guest was, and H told her "don't ask!"

Clipped Wings - 59
Lt Mark Gordon, an F14D pilot from the Coral Sea, struck a civilian helicopter in Milan Italy undergoing NATO radar evasion exercises through mountainous valley. Six were killed and Gallo, an opposition political leader, demanded the US turn over the "cowboy" pilot for prosecution. Chegwidden sent Harm and Mac to defend & prosecute respectively. Warned that Capt Jack Murphy would protect his people and was "one tough nut." C nonchalantly mentioned that his daughter Francesca was in Milan and weaseled a promise to look in on her. Congresswoman Bobbi Latham gave H a ride to the airport and said she was representing the president who was considering "letting the Italians have him." Gordon was cleared for flight plan then to stay above 2,000 ft AGL. Italians claimed they posted a NOTAM about helicopter activity in area. Gordon struck the helicopter at 300 ft claiming that as he climbed to 2,000 he nearly hit a light aircraft, flipped into a dive then rose again just as the helicopter came above the trees. He couldn't recognize the aircraft except that it was green or yellow. His jet was outside of transponder range and H found damage to the jet and some green paint. The RIO "didn't see any aircraft or radar blips." The arrogant Italian Col Achilla Marcella tried to "set his ground rules" with H and had to be told what a defense attorney was for. Marcella confiscated all the tapes from the Italian air controllers and wouldn’t let H talk to them- that's my idea of cooperation he told them.
When H went to visit Francesca he was confused for an "older model." They had dinner and Francesca picked a fight with them and was rude. B found that the paint didn't match any known civilian aircraft paint and had been hand painted. Gordon gave Latham a letter to read to the families of the victims. A farmer named Antinori testified that the American jet had come up the valley at "two barns height." He thought he was smart when he deflected Hs attempt to trick him that he saw the jet then heard the sound. But H had him ID some silhouette drawings and he ID an Italian jet. Italians were claiming that Gordon was lying to get out of trouble so Latham suggested to H that they go "try it." She demanded to go with H on the flight, despite Ms discouragement. They replicated the flight and found that they ended up at 300 ft just where Gordon said he did. Latham, thoroughly thrilled asked "where she could sign up." H caught Capt Balducci in his lie about posting the NOTAMs on time by showing credit card receipts for a several hour lunch during the time. The data recorder of Hs flight gave info enough for B to locate a dirt landing strip. Francesca came to apologize to H, after telling C what she had done and getting reprimanded. H asked her to go help interpret for him when talking to the owner of the strip. They found Arianna Restivo, a young girl who took her fathers plane for a joy ride without permission. Francesca persuaded her to tell truth and testify. M said she would drop charges and Arianna hugged Gordon on the court steps to Latham's satisfaction for her PR. Francesca told H that it was "too bad they were parting as friends." H said he was just glad they were still talking and she said that she "had hoped for something more" and kissed him.

The Return of Jimmy Blackhorse - 58
[A good episode featuring Teresa Yarwood (as Coulter) who also provided the background vocals] The sexual tension between Chegwidden and Mac was obvious when they bumped into each other in the coffee room. H entered and said he'd quit smoking cigars last night. In the silence he asked, "any words?" and C replied, "don't get fat." Bud and Harriet broke in and asked C to settle two arguments about their full military wedding: "yes- let Ht wear a wedding gown" and "no- the bunny hop is out." The skeleton of a Navaho code talker Marine PFC Jimmy Blackhorse was found in a ravine in New Zealand and was returned to his tribe for proper burial; but, it was not accepted by Margaret Blackhorse, the medicine woman, who claimed its "aura" wasn't Jimmy's. Blackhorse had disappeared while on R&R in New Zealand one wk before he was to receive the Navy Cross for Valor. A congressman ramrodded a bill to name a ship after him now that his remains were found. Teresa Coulter, a reservist forensic pathologist, was called in to assist in identification and was upset over missing her godson's school play. She was apparently smitten with H but he was oblivious. She smoked cigars and told him that her father was in the "8th year of a life sentence for killing her mother" and that she "had already judged herself" and "wished she wasn't so attracted to H."
Jimmy's twin brother Johnny, ill with Tuberculosis since childhood, was married to the medicine woman. H and Coulter talked to Johnny about giving a DNA sample. The skeleton had a watch, which was given to him by Johnny. H suggested using Johnny's TB sputum for the test but he finally relented, despite Margaret saying "no" and her giving Coulter a "bad luck Owl" to keep her away. Paul Begay, a Navajo silicon valley software attorney, saw publicity out of the story and "grandstanded" claiming to be of "The People" (Navajo name for themselves, the Dine.) A scorpion crawled on Coulter's shoe and she screamed making a baby laugh. Under Navaho tradition the first one to make a baby laugh had to throw a party for it- and "today's cool." At the party Begay wanted to dance with M. B & Ht wanted the day off. Coulter was shown performing the test, and the electrophoresis was shown completed in time lapse photography, but she then dropped and broke the blood vials (lying to H) saying they were contaminated and no good. When they returned for more blood they found that Johnny had died. Margaret gave them some old letters from Jimmy, that she had found in Johnny's "medicine box," which led to a girlfriend, Frances Roland, in New Zealand. H & M found her mute and unresponsive from encephalitis (but could hear) and being cared for by her son, named Jimmy Blackhorse after his father. The son told them that his mother had seen a "happy spirit" in Jimmy despite his stress, near deafness, insomnia and weariness. She wouldn't have relations with Jimmy until they were married but Jimmy didn't feel "worthy." He got drunk and raped her one night then disappeared. She named her baby Jimmy Blackhorse as a way of saying she forgave him. DNA was conclusive that he was Jimmy's son so they took it to tribal court. The medicine woman said she didn't sense the "good" Jimmy's aura because the skeleton was bad (H said Jimmy was lost in crisis). She waved her hand over the son and said she sensed Jimmy; so, he was welcomed into the tribe who took the skeleton to bury. H said they could name the ship after Arsenio Price, Jimmy's code talking partner, who got a bronze star. Coulter gave H a chocolate cigar. B & Ht, fussing about their wedding plans, eloped to Vegas. The eternal flame at the Blue Hawaii wedding chapel exploded requiring bandages all over their faces, and prevented their "elopement." M revealed that she was part Cherokee.
Jimmy's twin brother Johnny, ill with Tuberculosis since childhood, was married to the medicine woman. H and Coulter talked to Johnny about giving a DNA sample. The skeleton had a watch, which was given to him by Johnny. H suggested using Johnny's TB sputum for the test but he finally relented, despite Margaret saying "no" and her giving Coulter a "bad luck Owl" to keep her away. Paul Begay, a Navajo silicon valley software attorney, saw publicity out of the story and "grandstanded" claiming to be of "The People" (Navajo name for themselves, the Dine.) A scorpion crawled on Coulter's shoe and she screamed making a baby laugh. Under Navaho tradition the first one to make a baby laugh had to throw a party for it- and "today's cool." At the party Begay wanted to dance with M. B & Ht wanted the day off. Coulter was shown performing the test, and the electrophoresis was shown completed in time lapse photography, but she then dropped and broke the blood vials (lying to H) saying they were contaminated and no good. When they returned for more blood they found that Johnny had died. Margaret gave them some old letters from Jimmy, that she had found in Johnny's "medicine box," which led to a girlfriend, Frances Roland, in New Zealand. H & M found her mute and unresponsive from encephalitis (but could hear) and being cared for by her son, named Jimmy Blackhorse after his father. The son told them that his mother had seen a "happy spirit" in Jimmy despite his stress, near deafness, insomnia and weariness. She wouldn't have relations with Jimmy until they were married but Jimmy didn't feel "worthy." He got drunk and raped her one night then disappeared. She named her baby Jimmy Blackhorse as a way of saying she forgave him. DNA was conclusive that he was Jimmy's son so they took it to tribal court.

The Imposter - 58
Four US soldiers were killed in Algeria by Soman nerve gas, that was produced and delivered with equipment sold to them by the US through the Defense Security Division, authorized by Col Ronald Vickers, now in article 32 hearing. Clark Palmer, disguised as a deliveryman, tranquilized Harm who, along with Mac, was prosecuting Vickers. Palmer, DSD-Bradenhurst, drugged and bound H to make a disguise mask of Hs face so he could take Hs place in the hearing. M told Chegwidden that Vickers wasn't working alone and, "because he was basically an honest marine," was having a conscience and might be the "weak link" into names of the DSD involvement. Palmer called himself a "forensic artiste" and claimed H had "18 confirmed kills." He began listing them when H stopped him with "you better add your name to the list." B had a ring in a red box but bumbled and dropped it then argued with Harriet over wedding plans. C advised Ht that she should attack it like the "battle plan" of an ensign not a bride. When she asked about what would happen after the wedding, C said that she would have to transfer back to the Inspector Generals staff but that he would request she be permanently assigned to JAG- "admiral's privilege." No one could get hold of H so when a continuance of the hearing was not granted M told B to "go find H."
Palmer made a mask, loaded his fountain pen with another nerve gas, took some antidote pills then stuffed a syringe of "protection" into his sock. He rigged a bomb under Hs seat that would blow up at 8pm, or when a motion detector was triggered, so that he would be found burned to death- "despondent after interrogating Vickers so hard that he had died on the stand of 'a heart attack.'" B nearly set off the bomb banging on Hs door after not being able to find the hidden key behind a loose brick. Despite the storm, he climbed down a drainage pipe and burst in through the window JUST AS POWER WENT OFF, so bomb didn't explode. He ungagged H to find out about the bomb just as the power came back on. Palmer feigned having a reaction to antibiotics and hoarseness then took over from M at the hearing. The power fortuitously went off again so H and B were able to escape, travel to JAG and pull the fire alarm to get past a guard who wouldn't let them in. C saw Palmer spray nerve gas at Vickers so carried him to his office while H went after Palmer. After H knocked out Palmer he found C M & B resuscitating Vickers so retrieved the "antidote" from Palmer's sock. M pinched Hs face to test if he was real. "One Rabb in my life is enough," she said. C said "more than enough!" agreed.

Death Watch - 57
[An important episode which explains Harms back-story on Diane Shonke as well as flushing out Krennick's story using flashbacks. It also gave producers the ability to use much of the footage shot in the final episode of year one and never shown due to cancellation] Harm looked at his letters, cards and memorabilia of Diane Shonke his former girlfriend who was murdered and who was the "spitting image" of Mac. As he was loading his weapon M came to his apartment for a planned working dinner. He tried to put her off but she saw the weapon, the pictures of Diane and demanded an explanation. H told her with the story with flashbacks. He met Diane at the academy. He went for his wings and she to "crypto" school. They "missed more than they connected" but were going to spend the week at her parents cabin to "discuss their future together." Diane stood midwatch on the bridge of the Seahawk with Cdr Holbarth their first night back in port, then left the ship followed by an anxious Lt Lamb. Ensign Bud Roberts was watch officer as well. The next morning, coming back from breakfast at a diner, B found Diane dead in her car. H and Meg investigated with NCIS agent Brian Turque (tur - kay) who continually tried to protect his turf from the "hot shot." When he realized H and Diane knew each other he demanded he be released from case. Chegwidden said "only God and I can release one of my investigators- and he hasn't asked." Krennick suggested that she go take lead and H take orders from her. C told her she "was devious," but said ok. When M ragged H about K being enticing H said that it wasn't about sex. "I was a rival, the hotshot. It was about power and she wanted to control me with sex." She wanted the "admirals chair." M said that B told her "H threw her more red lights than on the beltway at rush hour." H said "I wouldn't get involved with a superior officer any more than you would."
K excluded H from interviewing Lt Lamb, a key witness who had lied and said he was chasing her because he had a date with her that weekend. Lt Sarah Williams said Shonke felt she was being stalked. K confronted Holbarth about not reporting Shonke's harassment complaint and H ran after Lamb who had left the ship. He confronted Lamb in the diner and accused him. When he denied it H slugged him and told a chief to report his indiscretion to the XO. Lamb declined to press charges. M took Hs weapon from him and said "it was lucky that you didn't have a weapon or you might have shot an innocent man." H told her that Krennick was going to send him to a captains mast to "distance myself from you." When he said it could ruin his career, she said "better yours than mine." But K started being stalked! She thought it was Lt Lamb doing it but they found him dead with a suicide note on the computer. M said "but you didn't believe it was suicide did you?" H said the computer keys had been wiped, the gun was different, and the gunshot was on the right side but Lamb was left handed!. H left into the rain and into his car but M followed, still demanding that he "prove his case" to her. She said that she already was an accessory- especially if he pulled the trigger tonight. H said he had just found out two weeks earlier by checking Lambs service record. M exclaimed "why would all THREE of you miss that?!" H said because "we were too busy dealing with each other." Turque had returned Shonke's letters to him, after he had read them, in an effort to "part like men." H led M into the conclusion that Turque was on the Seahawk during the trip and his change of attitude was because the case was closed. She surmised that Turque was the killer and H said he had a letter in the apartment that showed it. When M got out of the car, H drove off.
Dripping wet, M had B come into JAG. He had passwords and codes to use government databases. He admitted that he had been on the Seahawk and knew about the case and that Turque wasn't on board! In fact he wasn't in town at all. M asked B "what was she like?" He said looked identical but "talked different and was a lot more fun." [i.e. you're more squared away.] B discussed the two other suspects were Lt. Williams (for being suspected of being gay) and Holbarth (because when K talked about his not reporting Shonke's harassment charge- he was really sweating). They found that Holbarth was onboard the destroyer Sheppard which docked tonight at Norfolk. H waited for Holbarth to come off the ship and confronted him. He showed him a letter that he had finally read from Shonke's lock box. It was unsigned, inadmissible in court, but was a draft of the original which was sent to Holbarth. It said that "your failure to address my complaint leaves me no recourse but to seek redress through channels. Will file complaint when we dock." He had tried to talk her out of it while standing watch with her, then, failing that, sent Lamb after her to talk her out of it thus setting him up as the fall guy. Then he killed Lamb as a suicide. Holbarth said this assumption would be thrown out of court and H said "I'm not going to court" as he pulled out his weapon. Just then M called "don't do it harm" through the mist dressed in Harriet's dry uniform that she had changed into. Holbarth, thinking she was an apparition, panicked saying "I didn't mean to… I'm sorry…" and backed up off the dock. He was crushed between the pier and the hull. As they stood on the dock H kissed M. She said, "I know you were kissing her." He didn't disagree.

Tiger Tiger - 55
Bud and Harm were on a Tiger Cruise aboard the USS Stockdale with Josh. B said he was 11 when his father, a cook, took him aboard the Arleigh Burke and he was seasick the whole cruise. Annie won't let Josh have anything to do with the navy so they tell her that the "sailing" they were going on for the weekend was aboard a naval vessel. Josh spotted a life boat flashing SOS and the castaways were brought on board. One was "pregnant" and in labor. While H was notifying JAG B was to watch Josh, who didn't always do as he was told, and he slipped away from the group to another hanger to see a Sea Hawk helicopter. The pregnant Rosalita was really a terrorist carrying explosives strapped to her and weapons. Along with Miguel Cortez and others they took over the ship and killed several guards. The XOs daughter, Erin Terry, noticed one terrorist (Cuban "liberators") out of uniform but not in time to prevent their capture. Erin was used by Miguel as leverage to obtain the firing key to missiles from her mother. They planned on blowing up Castro while he was speaking at a stadium full of people. H had gone to retrieve Josh so they were alone in a hanger when the ship was taken over. They worked to set up a remote antenna for the Seahawks radio so they could get help. H climbed along the ledge, outside the ship to retrieve his cell phone from his locker. Josh disobeyed and climbed the pipes to set up the antenna alone and had to be rescued by H. Rosalita had all the rest of the children, B and some others in a hold with Semtex strapped to her armed by a remote detonator. She sang "lullaby's" to them ready to "go to sleep."
Miguel shot the captain and the XO gave him an old key. Miguel old her "that's why females don't belong on combat ships." Chegwidden received Hs message and called both Mac and Annie into his office. Annie was appalled to find out about Hs lie. The SECNAV, C and M watched the ship on television from long range surveillance by a P3 aircraft. The SECNAV said that a SEAL team would do a HALO insertion and under a full moon at 20 knots C called it a suicide mission. There were also Tomcat's ready for interception of any missile fired so C told him that he "was signing those children's death warrants." Annie asked M if H had ever lied to her. She said that he had "misled" her but that "H was the one who she would want with her son in this situation." Annie said, "if it wasn't for him, Josh wouldn't be in this situation" and asked her if it was her son, how would she handle it. M said "I would hold it in, but that's probably why I'm an alcoholic."
H told Miguel that his cell phone didn't work out at sea just as it rang on a "patch" from the P3 to C. C picked up on the situation quickly and had M pretend that it was a wrong number while he had the P3 cut their relay. Talking with H, Miguel said that his father was the former presidents banker and when Castro took power he was made to choose between his son and his hands. "He didn't count on the son's hands," he said. So this wasn't just liberation but revenge and he was going to take out thousands just to get one man. They found that it was the wrong key and the XO gave them the right key saying "not for Castro." H realized that Miguel had no control over Rosalita and radioed to Josh to do something then get out of the hanger because that was how the men were going to escape. When the missiles were fired then destroyed by the Tomcats, H negotiated the release of the children, with his word that the terrorists helicopter wouldn't be shot down. Rosalita refused to leave the children saying this was to be her last mission. Before she could flip the switch H shot her between the eyes. The escaping Helicopter went down at sea because of the water that H had told Josh to put in the fuel tank. Annie was inordinately angry with H and told him that she could forgive him lying to her "but not teaching my son to do it too." "You turned Josh against me," she said, "which is unacceptable. My challenge will be to deal with never seeing you again… don't call me." While she was storming away, B flew in bubbling about having proposed to Harriett and her saying yes." He asked H to be his best man just as Josh & Annie were walking out of his life.

The Stalker - 54
Being dumped by M for dishonesty Dalton Lowne began calling and following Mac to "get her back" not realizing he (and she) were being stalked themselves. At JAG Harm backed him down and told him to "let her go, walk away." H & M were defending CPO Anthony Sevalis, an electronics expert, for assaulting a prostitute. M though he was guilty and showed it with disgust. The Victim, Alicia Mars, picked Sevalis out of a lineup but Sevalis denied hitting her. Bud aced his law finals, and was given greater duties. He was to give Harriet some of his old duties. Chegwidden invited everyone to his house on Thursday, informal attire. He intended to introduce his daughter Francesca Pareti but didn't tell anyone. Dalton persistently called M and said "even God forgives more than that." She finally answered and agreed to meet at McMurphy's for "one last talk." He was met by a "mugger" outside the bar, mugged and fatally shot. M came out and he died in her arms forcing her to say she loved him. Detective Coster, who investigated told M that whoever it was may have done her a favor.
Francesca visited at JAG and backed into Hs car then refused to give him her name claiming it was his fault. He apparently was smitten with her as he foolishly let her just leave the scene. Ms apartment was found ransacked and with a graffiti message of "even God forgives," Dalton's last words. Coster advised that a man was stalking her and though he loved her so others might be in danger. She wouldn't tell him anyone else that she even "fantasized about." H found a bug in Ms phone which she stepped on and demolished. He thought Sevalis had set the bug so threatened him. M began getting stalker phone calls and H suggested that they flush him out using M as bait offering to "cover her six." She had Coster pull off surveillance. Francesca called to date H but he said that he had to go to his bosses dinner party and said that he was "sort of involved with someone who was in Orlando." M was alone, went to a bar and drank them came to JAG where she insulted H. He told her that she "wasn't just a drunk, she was a mean drunk."
B showed up at the party without a tie and Ht had to tell him that "informal isn't the same as casual." Of course he obsessed through the night that he didn't have a tie and Mattoni told him that he thought the Admiral was really upset. M didn't show up so H went to her apartment and found her alone and in the dark. He talked her into going to the party and said he would "watch her six." Francesca was introduced and H called her "diabolical" for not telling him who she was. C & M met in the bedroom going for aspirin and nearly kissed but C said "this is a mistake," and M agreed. Coster called M to say he had found the stalkers location. She left to meet him, H following. Coster took her to a warehouse basement and disabled her with a tazer, tied her up and forced alcohol into her mouth. H came, having followed with tracking equipment, and was tazed as well. He fought, dazed, and was able to disable Coster who eventually confessed and was sent to prison. H talked to the prostitutes pimp who said he had beaten the hooker. He returned the tracking device Sevalas had loaned him and apologized.
