7	----
8	!!Tropes in this episode:
9	* ActorAllusion:
10	** Tony and [=McGee=] sing the opening theme for ''Series/LaverneAndShirley''. Creator/MarkHarmon, who plays Gibbs, appeared in ''Laverne and Shirley'', as did Creator/ScottBakula, who plays Dwayne Pride in NCIS spinoff'' Series/NCISNewOrleans''.
11	** Miranda admits she's a smuggler and a black marketeer, but no amount of money would persuade her to sell a girl into white slavery. Creator/AlexKingston previously played [[UsefulNotes/{{Boudica}} Queen Boudica]], the Celtic queen who went on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge after her two underage daughters were raped by Roman soldiers.
12	* BadBadActing: Tony's attempt to impersonate Ducky over the phone, which gets him a DopeSlap from the latter.
13	-->'''Ducky''': I do not say "cheerio"!
14	* CoolOldGuy: Ziva's longtime friend Shmiel Pinkus - ''"Middle East historian, philosopher and poet."''
15	* CovertPervert: Miranda's contact at the State Department, who calls himself a "collector" of certain esoteric (read: kinky) historical artifacts.
16	* ForcedToWatch: After the kidnappers are driven off, Lydia screams and cries as her father's life ebbs away, unable to do anything to save him.
17	* FryingPanOfDoom: Abby saves Ziva from an intruder by whacking him across the head with a frying pan. She even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] it.
18	-->'''Abby''': A frying pan... It's a little cliche.\
19	'''Ziva''': Works for me!
20	* MissingChild: A 16-year-old girl named Rosie is kidnapped by HumanTraffickers.
21	* MissingMom: Lydia's mother is away in the Navy.
22	* NeverMyFault: One of the RedHerring suspects, John Stevens, complains that being a registered sex offender makes it really hard for him to meet women.
23	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: After Rosie is kidnapped, Gibbs assembles every available agent in D.C. in the squad room, not just his own team, saying that Director Vance has ordered them all to drop everything to assist in the search.
24	* PapaWolf: Dave Wade lays a severe beatdown on the trio of thugs trying to kidnap Lydia and Rosie, forcing them to shoot him in the abdomen. One of the thugs, later captured, swears that no one was supposed to get hurt.
25	* RecruitingTheCriminal: Downplayed. Gibbs knows that Miranda has never been involved with white slavers, but he hopes that her underworld contacts can help lead him to the right culprit. They do.
26	* SexSlave: Rosie's fate until [[BigDamnHeroes Gibbs and his team save her]].
27	* SociallyUnacceptableCollection: Miranda helped her contact at the State Department add to his collection of [[CovertPervert esoteric items]]; he insists that his interest in them is purely historical, but he also knows his wife would ''not'' see it that way if she ever found them.
