The test of a new torpedo is carried out on board the submarine, the USS Tiger Shark. The test is overseen by the civilian software developer, Dirk Grover. This torpedo is designed to approach and then "shadow" its target until it is necessary to hit & destroy. But something goes wrong and the torpedo disappears. Grover then tells the captain that the torpedo is under his control and he will destroy a luxury cruise ship if he is not paid $40 million in gold.

Lt. Rabb and Lt.(j.g.)Austin, are sent to the Tiger Shark to assess the seriousness of the threat and if necessary, negotiate with Grover to avoid loss of life.

Once on board, Grover insists that he must periodically send commands to the torpedo and to demonstrate, sets off an explosive charge flooding a compartment.

In the course of the invesigation, the torpedo is located shadowing a British Liner; Rabb learns that Grover really isn't in control of the torpedo unless the ship is within 4000 yds of it, so Rabb steals Grover's laptop and has Meg attempt to crack his code to deactivate the torpedo. When it becomes clear that time is running out, the crew resorts to pretend that the torpedo has turned on the Tiger Shark and that they're about to be destroyed. Grover, not wanting to die, tells Meg what the "command detonate" code is, Meg enters it & the torpedo harmlessly explodes. Only then, does Grover realize there was no danger and he is not going to be paid.

NOTE: [Note: This episode was not shown in the US during JAG's initial run, the second part was never filmed or even written. A revamped episode was produced later, also called Death Watch (ep 3.19).] Catherine Bell had a very brief role as Harm's murdered girlfriend. In fact, her entire role lasted only during the episode's teaser. (The part of the show that occurs before the opening credits roll)

Producer Donald Bellisario was so impressed with her performance, that when NBC cancelled the show at the end of Season 1, then CBS picked up the show (from Season Two on), he tapped Bell to play opposite Harm as Major Sarah McKenzie.

The episode has only been shown in the U.S. as part of USA Networks re-runs of JAG; it is because of NBC dropping the show which is why the "cliff-hanger" episode was never shown by NBC and the second part was never written/filmed.

The ship was saved due to the bravery & heroism of her crew; however, 132 persons will killed & 62 injured with two more listed missing & presumed dead. The crew's ballcaps listed the USS Reprisal - CV35. This refers to the Navy's actual carrier with the same name & hull number.

Lt. Vernon [sic] Rivers is up for a medal after he single-handedly rescues the undersecretary of state from fundamentalist terrorists. Harm and Mac, in their investigation, find Rivers, an African-American, to be a very tough, complex and uncommunicative individual who is totally devoted to his country and his duty. But his men paint a different picture of him as a gung-ho loner who doesn't care about the safety of his team and, in fact, botched the mission by leaving one of his men behind. Rivers finally agrees to open up to Harm -- but only if Harm can withstand arduous SEAL training for one day -- including the brutal manhandling required of the "hostage interrogation."

Harm meets with a Russian 'contact' in order to purchase documents that will prove his father was taken to Russia after being shot down in Vietnam. However, during the transaction, they are interrupted by a KGB agent, Col. Parlovsky who shoots & kills the Russian, then runs off as FBI agents show up, finding Harm over the body, with the gun & documents he wrestled away.

As the FBI wants to hold him for the murder of the Russian, Adm. Chegwiggen manages to have Harm transferred to a military brig, and court-martialed, much to the dismay of the FBI agents. CIA agent Clayton Webb, knowing that it was Parlovsky, not Harm that committed the shooting, arranges for Harm to escape from custody in hopes Parlovsky will contact Harm.

In the end, Parlovsky makes contact with Harm, but they both get away before Webb can catch them. Parlovsky tells Harm the documents were a fake and burns them. He then leaves, refusing to help clear Harm of the shooting.

Harm turns himself back into military custody and when his JAG-appointed lawyer insists on pleading him guilty to a reduced charge, Harm fires her, replacing her with a civilian lawyer: Mac. Mac is then able to show that Harm wasn't guilty of the shooting and that the FBI failed to gather evidence at the scene of a third person. The court agrees and dismisses the charges.

Mac then approaches the Admiral, requesting to be re-instated into the Marines & JAG. As it happens, her request for terminal leave "Impact" was never processed, having stayed in his desk drawer.

While the staff welcomes Mac back, Harm is handed a envelope from Russia. It shows a picture of his father taken with some other Russians -- on the back of the photo is written: "This one's for real." (Sets up the plot lines for the season ending cliff-hanger episode: To Russia With Love)

Harm's skills as a lawyer are challenged when he defends a female ensign who claims she murdered an officer because her "instincts" told her he meant to hurt her.

The ensign claims that when the officer entered her apartment on false pretenses, she felt threatened by him and killed in self-defense. Though the defense is decidedly thin -- no weapon was even found on the man's body -- Mac and Harm decide to stick with the case and are determined to help the ensign remember forgotten details of the event.

Harm and Mac like Wetzel and understand that his frustration accounts for his poor judgment. But nobody's more surprised than they when Wetzel winds up in a tank in a stand-off with the military, questioning why he's being forced to choose between being a marine and being a father.

Harm volunteers to defend a psychotic Vietnam vet accused of aiding the suicide of a fellow V.A. patient.

Disappointed with the direction of the case, Roscoe feels that the cards are stacked against him and engineers an escape from the V.A. facility with three other patients.

Harm is sent to Washington, D.C., to join a committee formed to judge the validity of a shocking television report -- that U.S. forces used sarin gas on fellow Americans during the Gulf War. What he uncovers, though, is so unexpected that he can't present it without testimony from a key witness, Sgt. Morrison, who was actually on the mission in question in the Gulf, but has been missing ever since.

Meanwhile, Mac is caught off guard when an old flame, Christopher Ragle suddenly reappears in her life.

Harm volunteers to defend her, but his efforts are thwarted by Farrow's defense attorney, JAG exchange officer, Australian Navy Commander Mic Brumby. Harm feels that neither defendant has come clean with the truth and he begins to search for evidence which is not forthcoming from either one. Ultimately, he learns that Mac and Farrow have each been trying to protect the other. The key witness in the case turns out to be a major surprise to both defendants.

Harm and Mac's original mission is to represent a Navy flier whose Stealth jet is thought to have crashed in Iran due to a mechanical failure. But when the pilot slips Harm a message indicating that the $80 million plane didn't crash and is hidden, the assignment becomes nearly impossible: get the pilot -- and the costly aircraft -- back to the U.S. without letting the Iranians know that the plane is intact.

Despite the cost, Mac convinces the Admiral to allow the two to talk to each other via satellite video-conferencing.

Meanwhile, Harm spends the evening interrogating a beautiful Navy doctor arrested for DWI after she lost control of her vehicle on icy roads and ran over a Nativity scene. Harm agrees to defend her when he learns that just before the accident she had taken some liquid cold medicine (which contains 25% alcohol)

Adm. Chegwidden's attempts to fly to Italy to spend Christmas with his daughter, however, with the Washington, DC area mired in snow, most of the flights out have been cancelled.

73. Dungaree Justice (1) gs: Harrison Page (Rear Adm. Morris) Rif Hutton (Lt. Cmdr. Mattoni)
Harm and Mac are assigned to prosecute three sailors charged with the vicious beating of a man they say raped a fellow shipmate. The rape victim, Petty Officer Lopez, tells Mac that, after an evening of drinking with her three male shipmates, she found herself alone at the bar where they ditched her as part of an initiation into their team. The next morning when she awakened in her car, she realized that she had been raped. When the shipmates heard Lopez's story, they exacted revenge on the man they thought attacked her -- the bar owner. But as Harm and Mac wear down the testimony of the three sailors, a very different story about what happened that evening begins to emerge.

This episode starts with tying up the loose end of Mac being charged in an Article 32 hearing for perjury (People vs. Mac).
She is acquitted, thanks to fancy legal-speak from Harm - although she does not have to face a court-martial, she does end being sent up on an Admiral's Mast, which just might be worse.

Retracing Webb's steps, Harm and Mac learn that he was on a top-secret mission to deliver a high-tech weapons project to the proper authorities when he was stopped. Waiting for Harm and Mac when they discover this, though, is none other than Harm's former nemesis, ex-C.I.A. Agent Clark Palmer, now working with the rogue spy agency, who will stop at nothing -- including Harm's murder -- to get his hands on the top-secret project.

Harm and Mac find themselves too close for comfort when they are sent to investigate an international incident on a nuclear submarine.

When Harm and Mac, who are already getting on each other's nerves, find themselves in the cramped quarters of the submarine, their relationship is stretched to the absolute limit. Their attempts to stay out of each other's way as much as possible are futile since they must work together to find out why the sub surfaced miles off course, sinking a Norwegian boat in the middle of a regatta.

Initially, it seems that the incident was the result of reduced staffing due to a breakout of E-coli. However, as more health problems begin to arise aboard the sub, Harm and Mac suspect a more criminal element than disease.

Word of her father's imminent death forces Mac to look back at the years of anger and resentment he caused her.

Meanwhile, Harm takes a gamble and undergoes laser surgery as a possible cure for his night-blindness.

He approaches the Admiral, with whom he has a tenuous relationship, but who he knows credits the agent with saving his life in Vietnam. Together, Webb and Chegwidden go to Italy and put into motion a dangerous trap for the terrorists that, if it backfires, will kill all involved.

With Harm's eyesight fixed, Harm decides to go ahead and submit a request to be transferred to a fighter squadron. When Lt.Cmdr Parker finds his written request, she is upset at the prospect of Harm being gone for months at a time.

Afterwards, Harm goes over to Mac's apartment who has Chloe spending the night with Mac before she is reunited with her real father. Harm informs Mac of the eye surgery and his plans. Mac is equally upset at the prospect of losing Harm. Mic shows up at Mac's apartment after Harm leaves attempting to court Mac's feelings. After Mic leaves, Chloe tells Mac that Brumby and Harm have a crush on her and begins teasing Mac: "Harm & Mac, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g."

Admiral Chegwidden passes Harm's request to be transferred onto the SecNav. Not willing to do any favors for Harm, the SecNav is reluctant to intervene. But, when the SecNav considers that it will get Harm away from Washington and the Admiral will owe the SecNav a favor, he tells the Admiral he'll take it under consideration.

In the courtroom, Bud is defending a Lance Corporal who is appealing his court-martial by claiming he was seduced by a Staff Sergeant. His evidence is the Staff Sergeant is pregnant and due to give birth at any time. As a coincidence, Harriet's due date is also drawing near.

Bud's cross-examination of the Staff Sergeant causes her to go into labor on the stand and an ambulance is called to take the Staff Sergeant to the hospital. When the Lance Corporal volunteers to accompany the Staff-Sergeant to the hospital, she admits the Lance Corporal is the father and he wins his appeal.

Back inside the JAG office, Harriet goes into labor at the same time. An ambulance is also called for Harriet, but takes the Staff Sergeant first. Harriet's baby is not wasting anytime being born. The men in the office stumble over each other and it ends up taking a Navy SEAL (Adm. Chegwiggen) to take control of the situation, delivering Harriet's baby son on the floor of his office.

As the second ambulance drives away from JAG with Harriet, the baby & Bud, Mac feels her biological clock is going off. Harm promises her that in 5 years, if neither of them is in a relationship, they will have a baby together. Mac warns Harm not to make a promise he doesn't intend to keep. They then shake hands cementing the deal.

85. Goodbyes gs: Scott Haven (Chief Chaplain) Susan Haskell (Lt. Cmdr. Jordan Parker) Joan Pringle (NCIS Agt. Holland)
As Harm considers his future at JAG, he learns that Charlie Lynch -- the ex-Navyman responsible for the murder of Annie, the abused child whose death still haunts Harm -- has resurfaced, placing the little girl's twin sister, Dar-lin, in danger. Putting his career decision on hold until he closes the chapter on Lynch, Harm tracks him to a shipyard where the vicious killer is holding Dar-lin hostage. Overflowing with anger against all Lynch's grisly acts of murder, Harm finds himself in an intense stand-off with him that will leave only one man standing.

Mac is assigned the personally distasteful task of representing a fellow Marine who is appealing his death sentence for the murder of three other Marines. She believes that the defendant, Kenneth Farmer, should receive the death penalty, but she must argue otherwise in court. Brumby, who doesn't believe in capital punishment, must argue in favor of it.

However, in attempting to overturn the original guilty verdict, Mac must argue inadequate counsel by the corporal's previous lawyer: then-Commander A.J. Chegwiggen. The appeals court lets stand the original guilty verdict, but orders a new sentencing hearing.

Mic is recalled by the Royal Australian Navy and must leave within 72 hours. As a result, Harm is assigned to replace Brumby at the new sentencing hearing. Despite Mac's arguments to the defense of Corporal Farmer that was not raised by then-Commander Chegwiggen, Corporal Farmer is again sentenced to death.

Admiral Chegwiggen throws a goodbye party for Mic at the local bar. Everyone takes their turn saying goodbye to Mic, including Harm who despite their troubled past together, is very cordial to Mic. As Mic is ready to walk out the door, Bud begins to sing and is then joined by the rest of the JAG staff: In tribute to Mic, everyone sings "Waltzing Matilda" as Mic walks out the door and down the sidewalk.

Mac becomes upset when Harm tells her at the last minute that he will not be attending her rehearsal duty in order to complete his 6-month required carrier landing qualifications. He assures her that he will be back in time for the wedding.

At the church, Chloe is still wary of being friends of Mic.

On board the USS Patrick Henry, Harm learns that the LSO who will be grading him thinks of him only as a "land-based Washington weenie". His fears that he won't be graded fairly are realized when he is ordered to land after his first attempt is waved off. After convincing the LSO that they were flying they way that the LSO taught them, he allows Harm to try again. After passing, he then completes his required night traps and requests to head back to Andrews AFB. With an approaching storm, all air operations are suspended, but is assured that he & Skates can be on the first Tomcat, once its forecasted to be safe.

With a break in the storm, he & Skates are allowed to go. But the storm moves in faster then predicted, a problem with the aircraft's oxygen forces them to fly in the storm. With high winds, lightning strikes, flight systems fail one after another. Once all electronics go out, the plane is doomed. Harm orders Skates to eject, but only Skates seat fires. Harm has to fire his seat manually.

Back at the rehearsal dinner, the group learns that Harm & Skates went down at sea. Patched into the carriers communications over a speaker-phone, they learned the SAR Helo finds a raft and pulls the person to safety; everyone learns that its Skates. With the weather too bad for the SAR team to continue, they are ordered back to the carrier -- with Harm still floating, somewhere in the Atlantic.

Stephen Zito & Dana Coen d: Scott Brazil
NOTE: This episode serves as a cliff-hanger to lead into the 7th season. Harm's former RIO, "Skates" returns in this episode as she hitches a ride with Harm in his F-14 back to the mainland. Once again, Bud just can't seem to make it to a fancy dinner properly dressed. After leaving the church, a dead battery leaves Bud out in the rain trying to jump-start his vehicle. Falling into a mud puddle doesn't help - as he shows up at the rehearsal dinner, in time to perform his toast to Mac & Mic in a dress-white uniform that is more wet & brown than white. The song that is performed during the wedding rehearsal at the church, is titled, "Come Fly With Me". It is sung by actor/singer James Darren. Ironically, it was another love story, this one on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" whereby Darren was cast as a Las Vegas lounge singer, which ended up re-awakening Darren's love of singing.

Harm's chance of being rescued from the Atlantic Ocean hinges on Mac's psychic ability (first seen in Season Five "Psychic Warrior"). However, Mac is trying to cope with her conflicting emotions for both Harm & Mic. On the edge of going unconscious from severe hypothermia, Harm's fires several warning shots which attracts the rescue helicopter.

Back onboard the USS Patrick Henry, Harm's vital signs start to fade out, but Skates words help him pull through.

Transferred to Bethesda Hospital, Renee learns that Harm has partial amnesia and doesn't remember them being a couple over the past year.

Mac's indecision about the wedding drives Brumby back to Australia. When Harm tells Mac on the phone to come to his place so that she doesn't have to be alone, she arrives only to learn that Renee has beaten her to Harm's place with the news that her father has died. Mac ends up in the rain with no one around.

Dana Coen & Stephen Zito d: Bradford May
NOTE: Harm's body temperature of 30 degrees Celsius (86.0 F)upon reaching the carrier's sickbay is consistant with a person in Stage 4 hypothermia. If you are curious about hypothermia and just how serious it can be, this website has great information on the subject: http://www.sarec.ca/ice/hypother.htm The crisis at sea mirrors the emotional drama: Stormy emotions threaten the stability of relationships, and Mac and Harm remain adrift (hence the title of the episode) and lost in their feelings for each other.

While filling in at Patuxent River for pilots that have been deployed overseas, Harm learns his friend, Cmdr. Scott Webster is being charged with fraternization with his RIO. Interviewing Cmdr. Webster at his house, Harm discovers information that he might be considering selling national secrets, but attorney-client privilege prevents Harm from disclosing that information.

Mac represents a female officer wishing to obtain sanctuary from her husband for physically abusing their child, although its a tough sell as the husband happens to be his own counsel. There doesn't seem to be enough evidence to prevent joint custody until the husband attacks Lt. Sims at JAG.

Harm reveals information relating to what he knows about the missing stealth technology - and as a result, a report is filed with Adm. Chegwidden to determine whether the report was a ethics violation. As it turns out that the girlfriend of Cmdr. Webster's son is also a key employee at the company wishing to buy the secret technology. Harm is cleared of the ethics violation - but just barely.

A Navy P-3 spy plane is rammed by a Chinese MIG and is forced to land at a Chinese Air Base. (The second such incident; the first being the actual incident that occurred early 2001)

The SecNav requests Adm. Boone re-activated to active duty, in order to travel with Harm to the Air Base to negotiate with the Chinese for the release of the plane & crew.

After the Chinese Commander is presented with photographic evidence that the MIG & its pilot that rammed the P-3 is alive & well (contrary to claims by the Chinese that the pilot was killed), the Chinese immediately release the P-3 crew; however, they would ship the P-3 back, piece by piece.

Lt. Barrett, flying out to escort the plane from Chinese Air Space back to the USS Thomas Jefferson tells his wingman a lie to get him to leave the escort. Lt. Barrett then flies into Chinese airspace & destroy the P-3 on the ground.

NOTE: Gunny (Randy Vasquez) is re-assigned to the fleet to assist in the Afghan War. The door was left open that he may one day return to JAG. Harm has a new project: Building a Corvette from scratch. The actor that has always played Admiral Thomas Boone is listed in the credits under the name: Terrence Quinn. In previous appearances in "JAG", he had been credited as: 'Terry O'Quinn'. This is why you will see him listed under two different names. The name in the credits of each episode will determine how it will be listed on this site.

Harm defends Lt. Barrett who readily claims he disobeyed orders and destroyed the P-3 spy plane held hostage by the Chinese because he believed it was the right thing to do.

Harm and Sturgis go head to head at the lieutenant's court-martial as Harm tries to keep him out of Leavenworth, where he could be sentenced to 25 years for his actions.

Meanwhile, Mac investigates a charge of sexual harassment when a female officer charges a Marine colonel with humiliating her publicly when her training tape is shown on the television show "Military Bloopers." As part of her investigation, Mac takes the Colonel up on her offer to complete her regular physical training evaluation with the Colonel. Mac recommends that the Colonel get a letter of reprimand, which could jeopardize his chance for a command.

However, when it comes to light that it was the female officer herself that leaked her video to "Military Bloopers" in order to shift blame for her inability to pass the court, she is the one who finds herself in legal trouble with JAG.

b: 27-Nov-01 pc: 144 w:
Stephen Zito d: Jerry London
NOTE: Sturgis learns of Harm's "unusual" legal tactics, such as firing off a weapon in the courtroom, seen in Season Two "Heroes". Adm. Boone reminds Harm that his own father destroyed an artillery base at the Hanoi Lighthouse, against orders that the lighthouse wasn't to be destroyed. Harm, Sr. violated those orders because they were losing several air crews per mission, yet he wasn't prosecuted, but Lt. Barrett is. Painful memories of Harm's stolen prized cherry-red Corvette (Season 4: "Soul Searching") is brought back in this episode. Harm is shocked to find that the steering wheel he ordered from a mail-order auto parts company (to be placed on the car he's building) just happens to be the exact steering wheel that was a part of his stolen 'Vette.

However, since she has a history of unauthorized absences, she is ordered to be held in custody. But with the holidays, the brig & pre-trial detention center are unavailable, she is estranged from her father, so she must spend the holiday with Harm or with Mac.

Cmdr. Ted Lindsey (as the SecNav's administrative assistant) notifies Bud's brother Mikey that each year, the SecNav nominates 170 enlisted personnel for admission to the Naval Academy and that Mikey is being considered for one of those nomination spots. Bud & Mikey's father, a retired Master Chief though is not at all thrilled with having another son becoming an officer and insures that everyone knows it.

PO Tiner notifies the Admiral of a lawsuit filed against the Navy by Rudolph, Dasher, Dancer, et al. It seems a group of reindeer broke through a runway fence at the Naval base in Iceland and for their safety were corralled by the base security personnel. But when the news is broadcast by ZNN, children in New York became upset that the reindeer will not be able to take Santa on his yearly trip. One of the children's father is a lawyer and files a federal class-action lawsuit against the Navy, requesting an emergency order to release the impounded reindeer.

Harm finishes his built from scratch for his '68 Corvette, but it still lacks the convertible top. When he discovers the car missing, he is stunned to believe that he has two 'Vettes stolen. After filing a stolen auto report, he is called to the scene by the police who has a identical 'vette that has been stripped, but realizes it isn't his vehicle. In the end, it turns out not to be stolen & Harm receives a very special gift for it from his best friend.

At midnight Christmas Eve services, Cmdr. Turner's father (a Navy chaplain) delivers a sermon on Joseph (from the Bible), which gives everyone a chance to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of family.

Harm makes his annual Christmas Eve visit to the Vietnam War Memorial to visit with his father and while at the Wall, he receives a very special gift from Clayton Webb.

Chegwidden's SEAL unit was deep in despair on one particular Christmas & held a service under the stars, conducted by a Navy chaplain that lifted their spirits -- A.J. finds out that the Navy chaplain was Cmdr. Turner's father. Mikey learns his nomination to the Academy was approved. Harm's half-brother from Russia is released from prison. During the sermon read by Chaplain Turner, he stated, "Blessed are those who believe that he will bind up the broken-hearted and free the captives." The statement refers to the book of Isaiah, chapter 61, verse 1. Mac notes that she received a postcard from Mic.

Mac's psychic vision talents come into play when a female Naval officer is found with her throat slashed in a local park.

What originally seems like an open and shut case involving a love triangle that led to murder becomes much more when Mac's "visions" show her puzzling images that lead to evidence of an international conspiracy. Together with Sturgis Turner, Mac follows the clues to uncover information that leads them to a possible terrorist plot in Russia to steal nuclear weapons.

b: 08-Jan-02 pc: 146
NOTE: While talking with Sturgis in the office, Mac says to him that she is in love with Harm. She then makes it clear to him that he had better not repeat what she said to anyone. Denise Crosby played 'Tasha Yar' and a Romulan Commander on "Star Trek: The Next Generation".

Harm and Mac are sent to Saudi Arabia to defend a female U.S. Naval pilot who refuses to follow the local laws and wear traditional Saudi dress and veils. Lt. Joanne Donato's outspoken refusal to be escorted by males in public and to wear proper attire causes a strain on relations between a U.S. base commander and a local Muslim cleric. It also causes Mac to feel that the lieutenant is simply being a bad soldier and disobeying orders - that is until Mac is forced to abide by the policies herself. Meanwhile, Commander Turner and Senator Bobbi Latham have a rocky first date, making the possibility of a second seem remote until Harriet and Bud come to the rescue.

US Special Forces capture Mustafa Atef, who is believed to be a very high ranking Al-Queda official instrumental in training the hijackers who attacked the World Trade Center & the Pentagon. As a result, the President convenes the first military tribunal in over 50 years. As none of the JAG staff is eager to defend the accused terrorist, Adm. Chegwidden takes it upon himself to defend him, with Cmdr. Turner volunteering to sit second-chair for the Admiral. Harm & Mac are assigned to prosecute.

The tribunal is held aboard the USS Seahawk, so with the senior JAG staff flying out to the carrier, Lt. Singer is placed in charge of JAG's Administration Staff, much to the dismay of Harriet and the others. Lt. Singer then takes over the Admiral's office, conducting a fire drill and generally making a nuisance of herself.

On board the carrier, the staff are reunited with Bud, who as fleet JAG is assigned to assist Harm & Mac. Harm is also reunited with PO Jennifer Coates, who he represented over Christmas ("Answered Prayers")

Harm, Mac & the Admiral return to the office from the USS Seahawk after finishing up with the military tribunal. The office staff is very happy to see the Admiral back in charge, after having to deal with Lt. Singer while he was gone, with Harriet making sure the Admiral knows how "happy" they are.

Their joy is short-lived however, when they learn that respected Navy JAG Judge, Captain Sebring is charged with having causing an another vehicle off the road which injured the female driver & killing her 6-month old daughter. Harm is given the task of defending him, while Mac is ordered into the uncomfortable position of prosecuting him. Seeing Mac's dilemma, Cmdr. Turner offers to sit second-chair with her, so that she won't be alone.

Lt. Singer overhears Harm & Mac discussing Bud & Harriet and learns that Bud doesn't know Harriet has bought a house, while Bud hasn't told Harriet about PO Coates. Seizing the chance while Harriet is sending instant messages to Bud, Lt. Singer sends Bud a message congratulating him on the purchase of the house. Not through though, Lt. Singer also tells Harriet about PO Coates. Harm & Mac make it clear to Lt. Singer that she had better keep her nose out of other people's personal lives.

During the course of the courtmartial, Harm learns that the female driver suffered from post-partum depression and under questioning from Harm, gets her to admit that she deliberately swerved off the road to kill her baby, thus resulting in the charges against Captain Sebring to be dropped.

Meanwhile, Webb meets up with Harm's Russian friend, Captain Volkonov and learns that Kabir Atef has passed money to a decorated Russian Naval Captain for a job, but the details are still not clear, other than an attack that is being planned against the US military. Kabir drops the Russian Captain off in Afghanistan, then heads off on foot into Iran. Webb is shown photos of him heading off into Iran, but is left wondering as to what he is up to.

Harriet & Bud agree to be more forthcoming with each other and not hold any secrets.

Admiral Chegwidden, Lt. Singer & Cmdr. Turner move over to the Pentagon War Room to easily coordinate & share intelligence information on Kabir Atef's planned attack on the U.S.

When an Afghan school is destroyed in a bombing raid, Bud & PO2 Coates fly to the scene to survey the damage. Once there, he promises to the locals that the US will re-build the school.

Meanwhile, Harm & Mac are still in Afghanistan attempting to pick up Kabir's trail, still looking for the mysterious truck that disappeared during a raid. ("In Country"). They come under fire, but are unhurt. Once they repair the damage to the vehicle caused by the gunfire, they continue driving all night and find an abandoned truck that appears to be the one they're looking for. They find the driver dead of suspected origin. Continuing onto the next village, they find villagers in the same condition. A medical team is brought in and they determine that the villagers are suffering from radiation poisoning. Mac & Harm have also been exposed and are flown to the Seahawk to be checked out by the doctors onboard. Harm realizes that all of the radiation victims are Chechen and theorizes that its the same people who killed Cmdr. Akin ("Capital Crimes") whose confession led them to weapons-grade uranium. They believe that the US did not recover all of it, the excess smuggled to Afghanistan. The uranium was unshielded, which would explain the radiation poisoning.

Satellite images indicate that a Russian submarine owned by Iran has slipped away out of port undetected. Cmdr. Turner realizes that Captain Yeratsov is at the helm of that sub, most likely in the Persian Gulf, heading for the Arabian Sea. Sturgis requests to be transferred out to the USS Watertown, the closest sub in the area to help track down the sub. He is flown to the Watertown, but Cmdr. Flagler is resistant to having him onboard.

CIA Agent Webb meets with a suspected Iran agent working for the Pakistan Embassy in Afghanistan to find out why $250 million dollars was wired to Russia through Iran. With that, Webb is quickly shown the door. Through a bug that Webb left behind, Webb listens in on a phone conversation that the agent makes to Deputy Defense Minister of Iran. They learn that the $250 million was spent for a Russian SS-25 cruise missile which has been retrofitted onto the sub that the Watertown is tracking.

Bud, back on the Seahawk, is requested to draw up revised Rules of Engagement for the Seahawk battle group in case their attacked. His original Rules were written for a torpedo attack. Now that a cruise missile is involved, the rules are woefully inadequate, especially since the missile probably contains the unshielded uranium.

Harm & another F-14 pilot is selected to attempt to shoot down the cruise missile if launched. When the Watertown engages, the Russian sub is destroyed, but not before the missile is launched.
The F-14's intercept the missile 10 miles from the Seahawk, but can't shoot it down as it would kill everyone in the Seahawk battle group. Harm gets in front of the missile to get the missile to lock onto him and lead it away. The ploy works and the missile runs out of fuel and drops into the ocean without exploding.

Back in Afghanistan, Bud & PO2 Coates are walking along the road toward where the new school will be built. Bud notices a small child standing alone in a field that hasn't been cleared of land mines. While PO2 Coates goes to get help, Bud yells to the child, but keeps walking toward him. Bud steps on a metal plate, causing an explosion. Bud is seen injured on his back with his right leg gone at the knee.
