* Carries into the season 10 opener, but Harper Dearing's entire arc. A seemingly normal corporate CEO loses his son in a terrorist bombing of a Navy ship -- and subsequently loses his marbles, blames the Navy for the ship's vulnerabilities and NCIS for transferring his son onto the ship, and starts indiscriminately killing anyone in his path as he escalates from more ship bombings (and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness murdering the people he hired to do it]]) to outright bombing ''the NCIS headquarters.'' And to top it all off, his final scene portrays him HopelessWithTech, and yet he managed to hack the MTAC firewall, set up numerous explosives, camcorder remote tricks and other methods, and access tons of confidential info to the point he knows about Gibbs' revenge, something very, ''very''' few ever discovered. [[NothingIsScarier It's never explained how he managed any of that,]] effectively making him an insane boogeyman of ''Film/LawAbidingCitizen'' levels.

* [[spoiler: EnfantTerrible Rachel Barnes]] in "Parental Guidance Suggested" - very creepy.Suggested". The entire plot centers around the murder of a family's mother, and all evidence tries to point towards the father as having done it.. but he's so broken up about the ordeal that even when he takes Rachel "hostage", he was never going to seriously threaten or hurt her. [[spoiler:Rachel did it, faking signs of abuse from her mother to keep her father home longer, and then murdering her mother altogether when it wasn't enough. As Gibbs interrogates her directly, TheSociopath in Rachel manifests, highlighting a girl that meticulously planned the events out to even make her father take the fall for the murder, and not even caring that she's been found out at that point.]]
