be a member of the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group. The team confirms the identity of the dead agent to be NCIS Special Agent Abog Galib (Burt Bulos), with whom Gibbs was supposed to be meeting. Meanwhile, other characters are disturbed by Ziva's seeming nonchalance regarding Gibbs' serious injuries, leading Ducky to accidentally insult her by implying that she does not care. Later, Abby slaps her in a fit of anger, and Ziva responds by slapping her in turn. McGee notifies Tony, who forces a reconciliation. Capt. Todd Gelfand, a doctor at Bethesda Naval Hospital where Gibbs is hospitalized, recognizes him from Desert Storm, having treated him back then. Jenny and Ducky learn about Shannon and Kelly from Capt. Gelfand and are left in shock at the revelation. At the hospital, Gibbs awakens from his coma but has no memory of his friend and colleague Ducky Mallard. Part II Director Jenny Shepard informs the team that Gibbs has regained consciousness but cannot remember anything after 1991. He believes that he has just woken up from his wounding in Desert Storm. Tony worries that Shepard might try to take over the investigation and confronts her about it, prompting her to say that he was always going to lead the team, but she was actually testing him to see if he has as much guts as Gibbs. Several characters attempt unsuccessfully to help an amnesiac Gibbs regain his memory since only he knows the details of an impending terrorist attack. Shepard contacts Gibbs' NCIS mentor and former partner, Mike Franks (Muse Watson), for assistance. He is partly successful, with Gibbs remembering working with Franks and learning from him, recalling up to the point that Franks retired after his warnings about an upcoming terrorist attack were ignored, resulting in the Khobar Towers bombing. Franks fills him on what has been happening in the world since 1991, and the shock of learning of the September 11 terrorist attacks causes him to become physically sick. Abby and McGee's digital reconstruction of the explosion shows that Gibbs could not have survived the explosion if he had been standing at the time since he would have been peppered with shrapnel. This leads them to believe that Gibbs knew that he was set up and had taken cover. They also realize that someone else had posed as Special Agent Abog Galib, who was already dead before the explosion. Ziva's
