* CutShort This was the last episode produced for NBC which actually never aired the episode. Instead, the episode was added to syndication a few years later. As such, Rabb's arrest is simply forgotten by the first episode aired on CBS, and the whole storyline about Schonke's murder, barely hinted at in that first episode for CBS, has to wait to Season 3 for its resolution.

'''"Skeleton Crew"''' is an episode of ''Series/{{JAG}}'' that first aired on July 15, 1996. Written and directed by the show's creator
creator, Creator/DonaldPBellisario.



NCIS Agent Turkey (pronounced "Turkay," played by Creator/JohnAshton) is first on the scene. Then follow Lt. Commander Rabb and Lt. j.g. Austin. Rabb is upset to see the body is Schonke's; he was supposed to have dinner with her but she never showed. No one believes Rabb's claim that his relationship with Schonke was purely platonic.

Turkey demands Rabb be taken off the case, but Admiral Chegwidden is unwilling to let NCIS dictate how a JAG investigation is to be conducted. By the same token, Chegwidden recognizes Turkey's concern over Rabb's emotional entanglement in the case, and accepts Krennick's suggestion that he send her as senior investigator.

Rabb confronts the chief suspect, Lt. Lamm, at a civilian diner near the pier, and punches him in the face. Commander Krennick (Creator/AndreaThompson) refers Rabb to Admiral's Mast. Lt. Lamm turns up dead with a typewritten suicide note, causing everyone to believe he was murdered. Agent Turkey shows up at Rabb's quarters to return several letters Rabb wrote to Schonke; the letters belong to her next of kin but Turkey says that giving them to Harm is a gesture of goodwill.

Rabb gets an idea about who the killer is and debarks with intent to confirm his hypothesis. But he doesn't get that far, since Turkey arrests him soon afterwards, charging him with Schonke's murder. On that note, the episode ends.
