A classroom full of pupils pass out and so does the teacher. McGee (Sean Murray) is tasked with showing around Interns and assigning them to their designated departments. He introduces Tony (Michael Weatherly) as "our senior agent, very Special Agent, Anthony Dinozzo." Tony and Ziva (Cote de Pablo) both tell them Gibbs (Mark Harmon) doesn't like interns nor does he want any. But Tony fails to answer why that is cos if he does then he'll walk up behind him - which he does and slaps him with a file. The interns are here for a week. Sarah (Elizabeth Wright) is assigned to autopsy; Michael (David Magidoff) to forensics and Conrad (Zack Lively) stays with McGee. Ducky (David McCallum) is already at the school too, though there's no body and Sarah tells him a story. Well he's at home having her around. Whoever Ducky gets in autopsy always ends up telling their own stories.
