About Face makes Jimmy the star of the show for an episode
"About Face" was an unusual episode for "NCIS" (https://www.looper.com/818141/ncis-franchise-fans-just-got-the-best-possible-news/) at the time it aired because Jimmy Palmer is the main focus of the events (this was years before the fan-favorite "Keep Going (https://www.looper.com/201898/the-best-episodes-of-ncis-according-to-imdb/)"). The episode begins with the team investigating the dead body of a man named Rick Baxter, who was found at an old Navy facility. When Palmer begins to move the corpse, however, he hears someone else within the building. When Jimmy sees a man run from the crime scene, he gives chase, only for the mysterious man to shoot at him until he flees. Not used to gunfire, Jimmy is deeply shaken by the experience and is unable to identify the shooter.
After finding another body encased in concrete, the team discovers that the real Rick Baxter was killed years ago by Milos Suskavcevic (Scott Checansky), so Milos could use his identity to get money from a long-term settlement Rick was involved in. Milos was then later killed in self-defense by a construction worker. Palmer is able to finally ID the shooter as Milos' brother and partner in crime, Tesla (James Logan), and in a risky move, he uses his car to stop Tesla from fleeing. The examiner ultimately finds closure and that he's much braver than he previously thought.
