Mallison Hart was on the task force as liaison between the Mexican federales (led by Alejandro Rivera) and NCIS, which is why she had that temporary ID card for NCIS from Vance. So, while Alejandro was asking everyone for the report, he didn't know that Hart had intercepted it and was sitting on it, apparently to protect Gibbs until she got the opportunity to question him. This makes me fear that she'll be at least a recurring character next season, when I want her gone permanently. What a horrible character she is, with no chemistry with anyone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You know, when I realised they were going to take CM to LA I wanted to see Ian Anthony Dale again. But Eric Close! And then that...ugh.
Classic creepy CM, though.

Aha! I remember that now, but at the time kind of let the reason for the badge slip out of the brain. I just knew the badge and her access to the building was going to play a role somehow. I'd pictured her sneaking into Abby's lab and stealing the report, but what you say ties it all together much more neatly.

Is there any possible way that the Eric Close character isn't dead?

And it didn't look like a head shot. Maybe he was wearing a vest?

Very true.
Also - I thought that the Close and Davi characters seemed very spin-offish to me. If only.
(Does it disturb anyone else that the CM spin-off is still being called the CM spin-off rather than an actual title?)

When he got down on his knees, I thought for sure he was going to grab the gun back and take a shot.

NCIS: I was amused when Franks called Tony "Probie." Does that mean Tony has been promoted to competent in Franks' eyes? Or just ally?

Someone over at TWOP speculated that, if Tony was sent to Mexico by Vance to actually take out Alejandro and not just "follow and report," he is doing something he'd never done before (sanctioned assassination), so he would be a "probie" in Mike Franks' eyes in terms of his assigned task. That's the only explanation that makes sense to me, unless Franks was making it obvious that Tony is becoming another Gibbs.
