This is a really good Small Subplot, I don't think I've ever heard of that as something one has had to do before. In full new parent mode, McGee is talking about how cute they are, how different from one another, blah, blah! Gibbs comes over and smiles at the pictures, until McGee reminds him that today is the last day he can update the picture on his credentials. The Bull Pen is a happier place as McGee is sharing the latest pictures of his little cherubs while Bishop coos at them and Torres looks somewhat exasperated, insisting the kids look the same as the pictures McGee showed them yesterday. But I'm not the one who's going to have nightmares in this story: while Dad is surprised that Melissa hasn't turned on her alarm, Mom finds Melissa hanging from a beam in the family room, dead.
I'd spend all night with the lights on and closet doors open, checking the locks and looking under my bed. I would freak out if new things in my house, even if they had tags on them saying they were from “Mom and Dad”. Unless the cats have destroyed something. Do you know what delights me? Coming home and finding everything exactly as I left it. It seems that Melissa will come home to find these things in her home when she comes back from work and be delighted. Mom and Dad proceed up the walkway and into the house (Melissa has given them a key), and Dad sets down the balloons and presents while Mom ambles into the breakfast room to set down the cake. We've all known that mom, right? Shudder. Mom is convinced that even though Melissa says that, she's sure that Melissa doesn't really feel that way. Dad doesn't think “Melissa” will be pleased she doesn't like surprises or birthdays. The opening scene shows a gray-haired man (Dad) taking an array of Mylar balloons out of the trunk of a car while a woman (Mom) walks past him, carrying a cake.
