'NCIS' Tries to Solve a House Crisis In Season 22, Episode 3
"It's my boyfriend Hal's house. I was just trynna to throw him a little surprise party when that lunatic burst in here with crazy," the party planner explains to the team. She had decorated the entire house, and all that was missing was Hal. "Because it's my house. Not Hals! I knew something was wrong when the second my door won't open. It's the first thing these squatters do: they change the key codes," the lieutenant makes his case. Before Parker and the team can proceed further, someone rings the door, and Jessica opens it. They turn out to be trick-or-treaters and leave after being given candy. The team turns to the mess before them.
Another scene finds the team working on a crime scene where there is a dead body. "Sorry to drag you out here on Halloween, Jimmy," McGee tells Jimmy, who arrives at the scene with his Halloween costume. He was chaperoning his daughter's Halloween dance. The team tries to make him understand how uncool his costume is. Jimmy was gunning for M.E., but the costume reads "me." Everyone gets it after Jimmy explains that it's Medical Examiner man costume, which no one really would have guessed.
