(That night Vance came to the club, alone, sitting at a booth, acting as though he was a customer, there only to enjoy the act. However, Vance was actually there to observe and make notes of all the employees' behavior. Everyone was on edge, knowing that Vance wasn't there to just enjoy a glass of brandy and watch the performance for that night. Ziva, while singing, looked over at Tony and Tony gave her a nervous look back. The camera cuts over to McGee looking at Abby and Gibbs, as Abby turns around to get McGee's reaction about Vance being there. Palmer looks at Vance while cleaning the booth beside him, and Vance looks at him. Palmer quickly put his eyes back on the table and nervously continues to clean it.)
(Abby walks over to McGee at the bar, started to talk to him, to try and get his opinion on the matter)
Abby: "McGee, why is Vance here? Do you think he knows something? Like who did it?"
McGee: (While cleaning some glasses and the bar top) "I'm sure he's just hear to watch us, to see if any of us are acting strange or abnormal. Which, (starting to ramble on) I don't know how he knows what 'normal' is for some of us and what is 'abnormal,' ya know?"
Abby: "Tim, you're rambling. Slow down."
Mcgee: "Sorry."
Abby: "Yeah, but I don't like him being here Tim. It's creepy and unsettling. And I know Gibbs isn't too happy about him being here; he knows he's putting everyone on edge." (She says as the two of them look over at Gibbs)
McGee: "Well Abs, just act like yourself and everything should be fine. Don't worry though, everyone knows that you didn't do anything."
Abby: "It's not me I'm worried about, Tim – it's Gibbs. Everyone here knows that he is capable of something like this. Maybe after the club closes Vance will tell us the sailor's name, or even show us a picture of his face – then maybe we'd all be able to know if we've seen him or even know of him."
McGee: "Just try not to think about this too much, we all know how you worry about everyone. (He smiles at her and she smiles back; she knows that he's right and that she should just stay calm. She then walks back to her seat)
(Palmer walks behind the bar, putting some of the glasses from the tables in the sink, where he cleans them after the club closes)
McGee: "Hey Palmer, how's everything going out there on the floor?"
Palmer: "It's okay. (Looking over at Vance while talking) But having Agent Vance constantly staring at me is making me more clumsy than usual."
(McGee smirks and shakes his head)
McGee: "Like I just told Abby, you were here the whole night, so you shouldn't worry, just act like yourself and everything will be fine. Okay?"
Palmer: "Yeah, I guess so. But still, he's creepy."
(Palmer then sees a few tables open up and goes to clean them before other customers sit down)
