And then things got even more touching as Rocky Carroll’s Vance read out a poem by Merritt Malloy titled “Epitaph.”
During the third act, Mark Harmon’s Gibbs met friend and P.I. Tobias Fornell (Joe Spano) in the hospital to wait for updates on the health of his daughter Emily, whom he’d found in bed unconscious and surrounded by pills.
The episode “Winter Chill” was largely about a case involving a dead body found frozen in a food chuck, but that somehow wasn’t the most unappetizing plot point.
Emily was an addict in recovery, but unfortunately had a relapse that went downhill, and it was quite the depressing moment when a doctor came out to let Tobias know that she had died.
