"Ships in the Night" features Agent Borin in her second appearance on the show, and she acts similarly to the way we first saw her--assertive, confident, and as the writers intend, she is the female counterpart to Gibbs. Without anything new, however, she becomes a moot point who is pleasant but nothing more. It was funny the first time to see her dole out orders exactly like Gibbs, but it wasn't nearly as funny this time around and the writers are doing little to distinguish her character outside of similarities to Gibbs.
The plot is a typical murder of a Marine, followed by an investigation. The "thing" this week is that everyone is sleep deprived, but it doesn't cause any significant problems.
Score: 8.2/10
