With most of us stuck at home these days due to the coronavirus outbreak, what better way is there to unwind on a Tuesday night than with a new episode of NCIS? Season 17's episode 18 ("Schooled") had a pretty interesting case of the week, which was - of course - solved.
But for many fans the highlight this week was "Jack Sloane's" (Maria Bello) unexpected reunion with her biological daughter "Faith" and the revelation it came with.
While the NCIS team led by "Gibbs" (Mark Harmon) managed to solve the case of the murdered Navy reservist "Jeremy Whistler", who tried to blackmail a conman, "Sloane" had to face her past. Because when "Faith" asks her mother about her biological father, "Sloane" is more than upset and confides in "Gibbs".

It turns out that "Faith" was the product of rape. "Jack Sloane" was drunk at a college party and let someone she trusted take her home... She doesn't blame herself for what happened, but does not know how to relay all of this to "Faith". When "Gibbs" wants to know the name of her attacker, "Sloane" says she will handle it on her own...
