Matt Roush says...
Adam Campbell returns as the younger version of the franchise’s beloved medical examiner Donald “Ducky” Mallard, immortalized by the late David McCallum, whose music is heard throughout the special episode. Ducky arrives to evaluate whether Pendleton could use an in-house medical examiner, much to the delight of probie Gibbs (Austin Stowell), who met him several years earlier and whom Ducky fondly refers to by his middle name of Jethro, “a name for a leader of men.” Team leader Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid) isn’t nearly as welcoming, suspecting the good doc has come from D.C. with the goal of shutting down the Pendleton operation. But Ducky, as usual, proves his worth when he assists on the case of the murdered wife of a Navy lieutenant commander.
