I appreciated all of "The Maltese Falcon" references, from McGraw's partner's name Archie Miles (Spade's partner was Miles Archer), the similar secretary, and the partner's names on the window, to Spade's/McGraw's quote "When a man's partner is killed, he's supposed to do something about it." Made it fun to watch, to catch any similarities! Otherwise, it was the standard "Murder She Wrote" episode, which isn't a bad thing. As I've been going back and watching all of the MSW episodes (for the third time), I've selectively been watching those with Harry McGraw, Michael Hagerty, and Dennis Stanton. This episode is one of my favorites!

Ridiculous!

Warning: Spoilers
From the time a picture of an isolated culture of Gram negative cocci in clusters that was then misidentified as Strep pneumonia (which is Gram positive diplococci), to Ducky talking as if mold spores can become Strep pneumonia (not possible at all, as one is a bacterium and the other is a mold), the organism being identified (mis-) by NCIS in a lab with no apparent incubators or media, and finally being identified as Meningococcus A solely on it being brought in from Africa (we have it in the USA), this episode was oh so bad! Even if one isn't a Microbiologist or physician, this episode tried to hard to be sentimental and significant.
