Outline

While arresting a group of Navy sailors who were operating an illegal automotive chop shop, Ziva finds a severed head in the trunk of a recently stolen car. Abby later matches the head to a Navy Captain who died four months previously. Things go from bad to worse when Abby discovers that the ashes that the Captain’s wife and young daughter have been looking after since the Captain’s death are bogus, sending the team on the hunt for a possible “human chop shop” operating illegally and the Captain’s remaining body parts.
