The first episode. Gibbs and DiNozzo meet Todd for the first time. Alexander is given second billing behind Harmon. Harmon, Alexander, Weatherly and Mc Callum are the only actors given title credits.We first see Todd protecting the president on Air Force One. It is one of the rare times when an actual living person is mentioned or seen in the series. We see stock footage of President Bush, as well as an actor portraying him. We first see Gibbs working on his boat in his basement. We first see DiNozzo in the squad room, Ducky on Air Force One and Abby in her lab. The mysterious red-haired lady picks Gibbs up at the end. No one makes a big deal about it, but Gibbs is shown with his cup of coffee (going through screening in airport) early (and often) in the episode. There is a cup of Caf Pow in the background of Abby's lab, but no one gives any to Abby, and she doesn't drink any. There are no head slaps.
