NCIS season 22 episode 19 focused on McGee's investigation of LaRoche. However, things weren't going in his favor; despite spending sleepless nights at the office, he wasn't able to uncover anything substantial on him.

On the other hand, the rest of the MCRT team investigated a shooting at a party truck, where they found a high-tech weapon belonging to the US military. McGee followed LaRoche when he saw him going somewhere without security and witnessed him shooting a man. But before he could apprehend the Deputy Director, he was struck by an oncoming vehicle.

To make matters worse, McGee's claims were dismissed as he had a concussion, and the victim's body was missing from the crime scene. LaRoche filed a complaint against McGee, prompting an investigator from the IG to look into him.

The team discovered a link between the stolen weapon and LaRoche's victim. They presented the evidence to Vance, and the IG conducted an inspection. However, they found that McGee had hidden himself in LaRoche's van to catch him in the act of a buy. The episode ended with an unexpected twist in which LaRoche saved McGee's life and stated that now was the time they knew everything.
