S23·E4 Gone Girls

Episode recap

The television series NCIS follows the Major Case Response Team of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service as they investigate criminal cases connected to United States Navy and Marine Corps personnel and their families. The long-running crime, drama, and action-adventure program features special agents handling a wide variety of operations, ranging from murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines.

In the fourth episode of the twenty-third season, titled Gone Girls, the team investigates a U.S. marine who is believed to have kidnapped a man's wife.

The series itself originated from two backdoor pilot episodes of an existing show, JAG, which aired in April 2003, before the mothership series premiered later that year. Over its long tenure on television, the production has featured cast members such as Sean Murray, David McCallum, Mark Harmon, Brian Dietzen, Michael Weatherly, Sasha Alexander, and Rocky Carroll, with several cast members having been with the show since its earliest seasons. The ongoing criminal procedural continues to center on the specialized federal law enforcement agency tasked with solving crimes involving naval and marine personnel.
