Summary: When a Navy pilot dies without any explanation given, the mother of the pilot, who is also a U.S. Senator, demands JAG investigate the facts surrounding his death. Commander Rabb and Lt. Austin discover that the pilot was with a S.E.A.L. team at the time of his death. Also, the autopsy does agree with the SEAL team’s explanation of his death, which was the result of massive injuries to his body. When the SEAL team refuses to discuss the real details with Rabb and Austin, they threaten to bring charges on the entire team.

Episode Quotes

Senator Grace Marion: You're a SEAL.
Adm. Albert Jethro 'A.J.' Chegwidden: I was. Yes, ma'am.
Senator Grace Marion: That's like letting the SS investigate Auschwitz.
Adm. Albert Jethro 'A.J.' Chegwidden: I, um... I realize you have suffered a great loss, madam. But your comparison is OUTRAGEOUS! If there is any negligence involved in your son's death, I will prosecute it to its full extent under the Uniform Code of Military Justice! Any further questions can be answered by Lieutenant Commander Rabb, who is heading the investigation into your son's death, and who, as you can see, is NOT a SEAL!

Lieutenant Alexander Kellogue: Sir? I understand the lieutenant's mother is here.
Admiral Chegwidden: Unfortunately.
Lieutenant Alexander Kellogue: SEAL Team 2 has a tradition of writing a letter before every mission, in case we don't return. Lieutenant Marion wrote this. If you would give it to his mother, I would appreciate it, sir.
Admiral Chegwidden: He was only with you two days.
Lieutenant Alexander Kellogue: He jumped with SEAL Team 2, sir. And tradition's tradition.
Admiral Chegwidden: I like you, son. Probably gonna hang you, but I like you.
Lieutenant Alexander Kellogue: Yes, sir! Thank you, sir!

Lt. Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: You know who started that tradition, Lieutenant?
Lieutenant Alexander Kellogue: No, sir.
Lt. Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: Ensign Chegwidden.

Senator Grace Marion: That admiral's right. My statement was inexcusable.
Lt. Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: Yes, ma'am.
Senator Grace Marion: You don't have to agree with me so quickly, Commander.
Lt. Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb, Jr.: You're obviously a person who speaks her mind, ma'am. I assume you expect the same from others.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (revealing mistake): Towards the end of the episode, as the drug plane is taking off, the video is showing Harm pulling back on the controls. In the video, you see a Navy service dress uniform, and not the uniform that he is actually wearing.
