Who wouldve pegged Daddy McGee (Sean Murray) as an anti-small talk guy? Certainly not me! Then again I never expected to see him schlepping around in a football jersey but here we are. Toss me the feelings football and lets get into it.

The episode opens with a body in a massive bunker full of barrels of government-subsidized cheese. His still-alive cohort managed to escape and the teams confused about their intended goal until they realize that a neighboring bunker houses surplus weapons a much more likely target for thieves.

Knight (Katrina Law) suggests increasing the security there (Cheddar safe than sorry!) and they set out to determine how the thieves bypassed the un-hackable vault security system.

Conveniently the un-hackable code was written by a fellow father at McGees childrens school. Carter Landegraffs (Kash Abdulmalik) a chatty goof who irritates the pants off of McGee and runs Man Time Monday at the local juice bar which is where the agents finds him.

Carters such a sweet cinnamon roll man that he knows the impressively man-bunned juice bar employee by name and is thrilled that somebody finally showed up for the dad hang. But when his vehicle erupts into a fireball outside the shop its clear that Carters definitely involved.

In interrogation Carter admits that he lent a friend his laptop with the code on it. And that friend was gangster Kingston Reinhardt who offered to help Carter when his cryptocurrency vanished overnight.

Sweet sweet Carters shocked to hear that good ol Rhino mightve double-crossed him. But Reinhardt died of a heart attack the same day the bomb went off making him an unlikely suspect.

Knight sweet-talks her funeral home-owning friend (and pickleball partner) Dee into letting them examine the body in its coffin right before the visitation. Palmer (Brian Dietzen) discovers a needle mark that could account for Reinhardts death. Yep its a murder.

When the big gangster family arrives for the visitation the team recognizes Reinhardts nephew as the man who escaped from the bunker. The nephew disavows knowledge of the car bomb but says Carter stole the crypto money from the school. Carter! You didnt!

A shame-faced Carter admits that he did in fact do it. He was the only volunteer on a two-year fund drive to raise $500000 for a coding lab for the school but when it pulled in a mere $250000 he moved the funds to a crypto account hoping to double it. I thought I was doing something good!

The only other potential suspect who knew about the account was fellow dad Owen Belfort III who wears a sweater knotted around his shoulders and lost $300000 on his last real estate venture. Anybody who dresses like thats got a good lawyer on speed dial Parker warns.

They opt for the sneaky approach McGee will go to Owens fantasy football night for the schools dads so he can get close enough to access the GPS data on Owens posture-correcting device. (Posture-correcting devices are a thing??? I say out loud as Im slumped over my laptop like a bog witch.)

This is how McGee wearing thick-framed video-equipped glasses and a bright blue football jersey ends up standing awkwardly in Owens man cave which is decorated in Washington Commanders burgundy and gold but with no actual branded items in sight.

McGee knows absolutely nothing about football and clearly thinks hes above the chatter of the dads in attendance. But Owen throws him for a loop by turning off the game and tossing around the feelings football to get the men to talk about how to be better fathers.

When its McGees turn he starts to open up about something other than the job… until the job calls with results from Owens posture data. It shows that Owen has a rock-solid alibi for the crime of late so hes off the list.

While McGees in the other room he overhears the other dads speculating that cop dad thinks hes too good for them. I mean he did have kind of a crappy attitude is all Im saying.

Having gotten a lesson about judging and being judged McGee takes Parkers advice and chats with Carter some more. They warm up a bit and eventually Carter reveals that he worked on his laptop in the juice bar all the time since none of the dads ever showed up for Man Time Monday.

This gets McGee thinking about the person who always is at the shop Man Bun Employee. I knew that hairdo was too memorable to be random! As Carter chatters away about NCIS having a new suspect Man Bun gathers his stuff including a gun and bolts out the back but of course NCIS is waiting for him there.

His real name is Hans hes wanted for the murder of police officers in Stockholm and he stole Carters money when he spied on his browsing activities in the shop. Reinholdts involvement made him nervous so Hans killed him.

It then falls on McGee to deliver Carter the news The missing money was in Hans account but its not $250000 anymore. Its actually $527000. And next time hell join poor lonely Carter as the fundraiser co-chair. They leave the juice shop together in search of coffee. Heres hoping this is the start of a beautiful friendship!
