"You're doomed."

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Abs.

He thought he had problems when all he was dealing with was a typo in 'AutoTrader'. Now, he's certain the Deputy Secretary will have his head on a platter before the boss gets back to the office. She already thinks he's a bumbling idiot. So does everyone in MTAC, for that matter.

The vagueness of Gibbs' orders invites panic borne of inexperience.

Fix it.

Deal with it.

How?

But he's learning. Of the few choice words he finally lobs at Madam Deputy Secretary, the boss only gave him two.

Stick it.
