I just watched this ep for a second time. Still one of my favourites, despite the plotline not making a lot of sense to me. The characterisation was very well done and well played by all the actors.
OK, to my questions:
Some fantastic fans capped and transcribed that paper Leon shredded, which didn't really say anything except how good Director Vance was at his job.
Hang on a sec...Director Vance? Obviously this performance review was written before he was made Director that day. A mess-up by the writers or something more sinister?
I've only seen Season 6 once but I don't think that paper was ever explained. We know he split the team to try and catch a mole. And it seems obvious he had this plan well before he took the directors office.
So...did he set up Jenny? Or did Jenny, knowing she was going to die, set up the op for Vance for him to execute when he took office?
I'm rambling a little, I know. But I had to get it down before it escaped from my head.
Thanks folks.

Thanks folks. In Semper Fidelis we found out that the SecNav knew about the paper (one was included in the file that Kort gave Gibbs) and said something like:"I thought we shredded all of these, it's not even real". Why it was created in the 1st place we don't know and may never find out. |

I presume it's for redundancy so that in case the original or a copy is destroyed, there's another copy (and perhaps several more copies) floating around in some agency's archives. Furthermore, since SecNav has read Vance's file before and given what we know about Vance's background ("The man's born for counter-intelligence," says SecNav in this same episode), I'm still waiting for SecNav's words about Vance being the pointman in an investigation into Mossad to come true. Hopefully, we'll see it in Season 8. |

This might seem a bit off topic, but the diner used in this episode was used in the Pepsi Max Commercial....it's really cool and weird at the same time.
