S21·E8 Heartless

Episode recap

Task: Write an episode recap for NCIS S21E8 (Heartless).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, etc.
If details are missing, omit them.
Style: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose, plain text only.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count: 280-380 words.
SYNOPSIS: "The NCIS team looks for a motive behind the kidnapping and death of a famous heart surgeon."
SOURCES:
[1] General info about NCIS (Crime, Drama, Action & Adventure).
[2] History of the show (originated from JAG pilots, Pauley Perrette as Abby).
[3] Cast info (Sean Murray, Brian Dietzen, Rocky Carroll).
[4] IMDb link (no specific content provided in text).
[5] Season 1 cast (Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly, Sasha Alexander).

As an archivist, I cannot invent details to meet a word count. I must follow the instruction: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess." and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
The synopsis states: The NCIS team looks for a motive behind the kidnapping and death of a famous heart surgeon.
I cannot name the surgeon.
I cannot name the team members involved in this specific episode.
I cannot describe the setting or the investigation process beyond "looking for a motive."
