What happened in NCIS season 22, episode 16?
In the last episode, the MCRT team investigated the murder of Petty Officer First Class Jennifer Garcia. She initially appeared to have been a victim of a massive fire, but the forensic report revealed that she had been strangled to death before the fire broke out. Her concerned boyfriend, Dan, had called in the fireman and given his statement to Nick Torres, showing love for his late girlfriend.
However, it was soon found that Dan had been in an argument with Garcia before the fire, making him the prime suspect.
Meanwhile, Kasie and Jess went for a ladies' night out that Robin had planned, but the intricacies of the case kept them distracted. The boys, on the other hand, planned to spend the night playing video games. When they read the latest findings in the case on Kasie's system, they followed the lead as well.
After expressing her anger towards Kasie and Jess for spoiling her plans, Robin got intrigued by the mystery and shared her theories on the case. The mystery led both groups to the crime scene, where they found a chest that had a secret safe. It was revealed that Garcia's murder was committed to hide the heist, which was done by a fireman called Mr. December.
Here's the official synopsis of the episode:
"A girls' night out takes an unexpected turn when NCIS is called to investigate the motive of a possible arsonist; Torres struggles to find work/life balance."
