We started with Demetri from Cobra Kai working at a car wash that played disco music while a guy died in his car. Knight’s hatred of mail led to McGee and Torres teasing her about her and Jimmy at the wedding (yuck yuck yuck). Even worse, Jimmy asked Knight out on a date (nooooooo!). I liked how Knight got to say the quip, and we got a Ducky mention and Jimmy being anxious about his organ delivery (also, that shot of Knight when he mentioned Breena was interesting. We got Parker discovering Ducky’s habit of talking to dead bodies, and it was pure gold- also, I loved how Jimmy still puts things away in different places than Ducky likes them. Dr. Long made the hospital scene extremely awkward, and poor Kasie started to get addicted to the slot machines. The car scene quickly turned from awkward to terrifying when Knight drove straight into a trap, and a well-placed one at that. Unsurprisingly, the victim’s partner disappeared, we found out Knight went to college in Seattle, has survival skills, and cuts the crusts off her sandwiches. Jimmy getting shot was scary, and Knight fighting the bad guy was awesome. Parker channeled Gibbs in the lab scene with Ducky and Kasie, and the reason the two plots were connected was a cool twist. I didn’t envy Knight being stuck with the task of pulling out the bullet, and the entire scene was really gross in more ways than one- also, they don’t feel the least bit weird about cheating on Breena? Vance and McGee were a formidable (and funny) pair in MTAC, and surprise surprise, a CEO turned out to be evil. Knight’s plan to lead away the bad guys was risky, and we got an emotional scene with Vance and Ducky. The gunfight ended with Jimmy saving the day (and the liver), and I really wish the last scene never happened.

So, I don't know how anyone could watch 19x20 of NCIS and not ship these two.
I have surpassed "they're cute" with Jess/Jimmy and gone straight to utter "shipper trash"
The whole life/death situation
Jimmy packing a sealed lunch in the cooler with the organ they're transporting and sharing half his sandwich with Jess (to save her form eating some random fucking mushroom plant)
The fact that this is the look on Jimmy's face when Jess pulls out a pocketknife and starts cutting the crust off her PB&J????
The way she literally ends up digging a bullet out of the back of his thigh in the middle of a random ass cabin in the woods? And then Jimmy choose that moment to talk about this thing between them???
How she calls him one of her best friends and how she doesn't want to lose that?
THIS moment?
Or this one?
I'm so far gone and there's no coming back for me.

A random drabble about what really happened for Japril during 19x20, because I'm still really, really pissed that Grey's went to Boston and to the Catherine Fox Awards and all we got was a lousy blink-and-you-miss it Jackson mention, and then nothing. Uuugh.
___
Jackson Avery has taste, and April, looking at the suite in the five-star hotel he booked overlooking Hyde Park, can't really deny it. She plops down on the comfiest chair she's ever sat on (one point for London) and eyes Jackson as he starts unpacking his suitcase, as he kicks off his shoes, as he opens the mini-bar and offers her a drink.
"You're not going right away to the foundation's office here?"
"Oh, that. No, don't need to."
"You don't need to?"
"Nah, everything's under control."
Maybe it's the jet lag, maybe it's because he's started removing his jacket and is wearing her favorite green shirt, but April feels like she doesn't understand anything.
"But... the crisis?"
"Oh, solved it yesterday. You know, when I had to stay late at the office. Lots of phone calls and e-mails, but we're good."
"So, what are we doing here?"
Just like Jackson Avery has taste, he has the most perfect sheepish smile.
"Well, I figured... Since Hattie was already at your parents' for the week..."
"And?"
"And you know how much I hate dressing up for those ceremonies..."
"Mmmh."
"And my mom may have said she had a few surprises up her sleeve for the awards, so I figured it would be safer to be far, far away from all of it, you know? Self-preservation, really."
"So the head of the foundation is skipping the awards to... go on holidays while pretending to work?"
"I would have said 'to spend some quality time with his gorgeous wife', but sure."
Jackson Avery has taste, and a beautiful sheepish smile, and that annoying quality that makes her charmed by anything he pretty much does. For example, she really wants to shake her head and lecture him on skipping his responsibilities, but sue her, she's always wanted to go to Europe, so the only thing she manages to do is smile at him, get up from her chair and walk towards him.
It's really annoying.
"You know that one day, you will have to finally bring me to one of those awards things, right?"
"I've booked a table at one of the restaurants here with the best view of the Thames, and I promise the food will be way better than at the gala. And you know, Paris is just a couple of hours away..."
She circles her arms around his waist and is rewarded by a soft kiss pressed on her neck.
"In that case, it's too bad I didn't bring the dress I was supposed to wear tonight. I'm sure you would have loved it."
"Yeah? Which one was it?" he mumbles, mouth still on her neck.
"Oh, it's a new one I bought just for it. Well, for you, mostly. A strapless, dark blue one. Tight."
He groans, and then his tongue does this thing that makes it very difficult for her to speak, and, well, she hopes their reservation at the restaurant is still hours away, because they do have something important to do in London first.
