Overall, this episode for me was full of SQUEE! (With one or two exceptions...)

Things I SQUEE'd about:
1. School pic of Tony stuck to the side of Ziva's monitor. ♥♥♥♥
2. Photo of Tony & his mom is now framed and on a side table in his living room.
3. Tony's fish - Kate!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥
4. Jimmy & Breena's little phone spat over him having to work late.
5. Ducky stalling until Gibbs' arrival, then the congratulatory hand slap with Jimmy afterwards!!!

Things I did NOT SQUEE about:
1. Tony's bed. Come on, you expect us to believe he has a single bed?
2. Senior messing around with the nosy neighbour IN Tony's bed. Eeeewwww.
3. The ending. Sorry, but I agreed with Tony kicking his Dad out after that horrible breach of trust, and I don't buy into the "all is forgiven because Daddy gave me the family Signet ring" crap. Much as I would love to see them reconciled, what Senior did was unforgivable in my book. It's one thing to carry on like that in a hotel (not that I approve of that anyway, but that's beside the point). It's quite another thing to do it in the space your own son has described as his "sanctuary". Don't buy it. Tony's not a sap, and he should have stood his ground and told him to get the hell out of MTAC. But maybe that's just me...
4. The way Gibbs related to the Treasury Dept. chick (who was so not-memorable that I don't even remember the character's name). What happened to all the inter-agency tension? It just kind of...evaporated...part-way through the episode. Started off as we expected it to, but even then Gibbs wasn't his usual gruff self. Is he softening up in his old age? Did Diane's visit change him that much? Or is it because it's Christmas, and good will to men and all that jazz? Gee whiz, folks. Remember the vitriol when they had to work with the Coast Guard? The CIA? Even FBI? So where was it here?

Am I taking this show too seriously? I'm really asking...someone please tell me if I am! LOL

1. I sort of do believe that. He is so involved in his work and his apartment is his. I can see him not inviting women in. That wasn't what I expected, but I didn't take issue with it. (That just means he sleeps over at Ziva's a lot.)

2/3. Eww. Why couldn't they have done that at her place? That's just unforgivable. Especially after everything Tony said about his bedroom and his bed. I'm not ok with that. I don't think much will make me ok with that. I still love Senior, but I think that soured it a bit.

4. I think it was Jamie that pointed out that she was M Allison Hart like. (It had to be Jamie since she was the only one I was IMing with the whole episode.) So now I just see the chick as the Mallison wannabe.

[klingonlady]

Yes and we decided Ziva needed to buy him a new bed after Tony burned that one.

Yeah, that would be me. Because that is what popped into my head. M Allison Hart.. and it wouldn't go away. That is who I saw.

[whiteink]

I don't know who else would have said Mallison. But remember ... my bunnies have a REASON for his single bed.

(p.s. Eric's bed - not a single bed)

[klingonlady]

Your bunnies are so mean.. Teasing me and making me fuss.

[whiteink]

Are they teasing? Or are they 668 words in?

Is Ziva buying him a double/queen/king bed?
