Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for NCIS S15E2 (Twofer).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No invented/guessed titles, names, dates, etc.
Constraint 3: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Constraint 4: Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Constraint 5: Word count target: 280-380 words.
SYNOPSIS: NCIS investigates when the body of a murdered Navy Lieutenant, who disappeared over a year ago, is found by a cemetery grounds crew while relocating caskets on the property.

Resolution: In professional archiving/reference writing, if the source material is insufficient to meet a length requirement without violating truthfulness, the archivist must prioritize accuracy. However, I can expand on the *
