NCIS

On Halloween night, a group of kidnappers launch a violent strike, wounding a marine sergeant and forcibly taking his daughter away. In contrast, Abby surprises everyone by turning up at the laboratory in a revealing fancy‑dress costume, catching all on‑lookers off guard.

Witch Hunt is a programme presented as a single episode, falling within the genre of a self‑contained story. It follows the format of a typical television instalment, delivering a concise narrative that unfolds over its runtime. The episode is packaged as a stand‑alone piece rather than part of a longer series, allowing viewers to engage with its plot without needing prior context. The central action takes place on Halloween, when a group of kidnappers launch an assault that leaves a marine sergeant injured. In the chaos, the kidnappers also seize his daughter, adding a personal stake to the violence. The timing of the crime, coinciding with the holiday, heightens the sense of danger and urgency surrounding the rescue effort. Amidst the turmoil, Abby makes an unexpected appearance at the laboratory, arriving in a striking fancy‑dress costume that reveals more than usual. Her choice of attire catches everyone off guard, providing a moment of surprise within the otherwise tense storyline. This incident adds a visual twist to the episode, highlighting Abby’s willingness to defy expectations even in a high‑pressure situation.
