A few months later, the death of a helicopter pilot embroils the team in the Reynosa Cartel 's vendetta with Gibbs, making each team member a target. Paloma Reynosa, head of the cartel, plays a game of cat and mouse with NCIS as she makes a wide trail through the US, expanding her cartel 's influence. Tensions erupt when Alejandro Rivera ( guest star Marco Sanchez ), calls Abby on her bluff to send the report on the Pedro Hernandez murder and threatens her in front of Gibbs. Aware of his involvement in the Reynosa Cartel, NCIS leads Rivera into a trap at a safehouse, tricking him into thinking his sister is dead and those responsible are in protective custody. Rivera takes the bait and intends to exact revenge, but ends up fatally shooting his own sister. Meanwhile, Leon Vance, whilst putting the report implicating Gibbs in a place no one will find it, receives a mysterious text message from Eli David, Director of Mossad claiming `` I found him ''. 164 `` Worst Nightmare '' Tony Wharmby Steven D.

Using an elaborate ploy, the team manages to trick the kidnapper into revealing where he was hiding the girl and arrest him. Meanwhile, three interns are assigned to NCIS ; Abby is suspicious after her last assistant 's ( Chip Sterling in Season 3 ) attempt to kill her, Palmer feels ineffective after Ducky bonds with his intern, and McGee must contend with an intern who shows no interest in law enforcement or field work at all. 165 `` Short Fuse '' Leslie Libman George Schenck & Frank Cardea October 5, 2010 ( 2010 - 10 - 05 ) 803 19.81 NCIS responds to an emergency phone call after Heather Dempsey, a Marine bomb technician, shoots and kills an intruder in her home.

They learn that Dempsey 's brother was shot and paralyzed by a man named Abbott in a gang war, and that the FBI lover recommended protective custody for him after he testified to escape jail time. Dempsey started a relationship with the agent to learn Abbott 's new identity and location. When he learned that Dempsey was searching for him, Abbott hired the hitman to kill her before she could kill him. Because hiring the hitman was not part of his immunity deal, Abbott is arrested. Meanwhile, Tony is excited to be chosen as the face of NCIS ' new recruitment campaign, but Director Vance decides Gibbs promotes the qualities NCIS is looking for more than Tony does. 166 `` Royals and Loyals '' Arvin Brown Reed Steiner October 12, 2010 ( 2010 - 10 - 12 ) 804 19.20 The team is involved in an international incident as they investigate the murder of an American petty officer whose case is connected with a Royal Navy ship.

They are surprised to find that her entire body is covered in elaborate chemical formulae, but begin to suspect her death was nothing more than an accident after finding evidence that she was becoming increasingly paranoid. Recognizing the researcher as a kindred spirit because they share similar thought processes, Abby becomes fixated on solving her equations and vows to finish the work that the victim originally started. Unfortunately her new - found obsession soon begins driving a wedge between her and the rest of the team but thanks to Gibbs and the victim 's mother, Abby eventually regains her priorities and resumes working on the case. As the team discover that the researcher was being poisoned, Abby deduces that the formula is a method of converting bacteria into fuel. The trail leads back to a jealous co-worker, who poisoned the researcher in order to take her job. Meanwhile, Tony 's latest fling causes trouble when she suggests role playing, but refuses to tell Tony what she has in mind. Her fantasy is later revealed to be Tony Manero from Saturday Night Fever, evidenced by a very uncomfortable Tony attempting to sneak out of the Navy yard in a white disco suit. 169 7 `` Broken Arrow '' Arvin Brown George Schenck & Frank Cardea November 9, 2010 ( 2010 - 11 - 09 ) 807 19.87 When investigating a murder of a former Navy Commander and friend of Vice Admiral Chase, the team stumbles across a piece of an old nuclear bomb that had been lost during the Cold War.

During the episode, Gibbs revisits Operation Trident, Vance 's first job with NIS and when he met Eli David. Gibbs originally comes to the conclusion that Eli tried to have Vance killed during the op by tipping off his primary target : a Soviet operative called the Russian. When Eli is found, it is revealed that Vance and Eli had actually worked together during the op to stop the Russian and his hit team which was the career builder for Vance. The insider in NCIS was the same person who mounted the operation in Amsterdam and whose plan was foiled by Vance and Eli. It is revealed that the insider is Riley McAllister, former head of the San Diego field office, and that he mounted the operation so that his area of expertise, Russia, would come back into a post-Cold War play which would have allowed him to become Director. He had hired the Russian, the same man that he later sent Gibbs to assassinate in Paris along with Jenny Shepard, to kill Vance and he had set up the bomb at the safe house to have revenge on Vance and Eli. He then tries to kill Vance in his hospital room but Vance stabs him with a knife that Gibbs had given him to defend himself. Before he returns to Israel, Eli makes peace with Ziva. 172 10 `` False Witness '' James Whitmore, Jr. Steven D.

The team tracks down several suspects, but Gibbs eventually figures out that the killer was the father of one of the students the petty officer was advising.

Meanwhile, Magnus reveals the true reason for his visit ; he is suffering from Alzheimer 's disease and he was hoping that coming back to NCIS would help him regain his memories.
