"I hate to say it, but that was actually smart, Tony." Kate's attitude is really beginning to wear on him.
He's always been a team player. In Baltimore he was also a star. They loved him; they respected him, too. Being forced to leave all that behind was tough.
Not as tough as impressing Gibbs, though.
For nearly four years, he's busted his butt, trying to get the magic back. The boss has been especially hard on him lately; he's been wondering if it's worth the effort.
Today, he was vindicated. Today, he finally graduated.
He's the Senior Field Agent.
