* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Watching the Civil War reenactors, Tony ruefully says his father always dragged him along on these weekends, and his job was to carry the bucket so the guys (for the sake of authenticity) could go to the bathroom.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Ziva's first of many. The villain pushes Ducky forward and takes aim at an unarmed Ziva... in the distance, Gibbs and Tony hear a gunshot and take off running. When they arrive on the scene, the villain is lying dead with Ziva's knife embedded in her chest, and her two henchmen are facedown with Ziva holding them at gunpoint.

'''Tony''': Yeah.\\
'''[=McGee=]''': Pretty much.
* WorthlessTreasureTwist: Subverted. The case has all the trappings of a hunt for buried treasure, but the second casket, when unearthed, contains only a stockpile of 19th Century firearms. However, these are highly valuable collectibles, worth tens of thousands of dollars each.
