Episode 5, “Now and Then,” focused on the prison break of Thomas Mulligan and Luther Stokes. This reopened an old case about a naval officer’s death from the 1990s. The NCIS team quickly found Stokes’ body and discovered that Mulligan acted alone for personal reasons.

Retired agent Vera Strickland returned to help and provided information about past relationships and key players, including Jimmy Wallace.

The team uncovered family secrets. Mulligan’s son, Jason Cross, had been investigating the case and wanted revenge. They also confirmed that Lainey Sims, not Mulligan, committed the murder and that Wallace’s greed led to Grandpa Dom’s death.
