While the team – Gibbs (Austin Stowell), Franks (Kyle Schmid) and LaLa (Mariel Molino) – works the case of an investment advisor found dead shortly after her release from prison, Mary Jo (Tyla Abercrumbie), who is fondly known as HSIC (Head Secretary in Charge), is left reeling by an unexpected development in her personal life when she’s served with divorce papers.
“The idea of the divorce was as much a surprise to me as it was for you all,” Abercrumbie tells Parade. She learned about the divorce when the script arrived. Even though she early on had discussed with showrunners David J. North and Gina Lucita Monreal going down the path of her personal life. She just didn’t know exactly where that path would lead, but she did know she had an ex.
“I think that the face of our love affairs don’t look anything like we think they’re going to look in the movies, right?” Abercrumbie says. “We think you’re going to meet Prince Charming, you’re going to have this white picket fence and the house and the dog. And the truth of the matter is that our relationships take on different looks.”

The episode also illustrates how, despite what’s going on in her personal life, Mary Jo is indeed the HSIC as she is the backbone of the NIS office, keeping both the agents functioning and mentoring the rest of the office staff.

Even Franks knows that. And so saying, he’s not above stealing a line from Mary Jo. During this episode, she tells him their responsibility is “making people whole even when you’re not,” which he passes on to the troops. But the reality is that that is the mantra by which Mary Jo lives her life.
