Ep 22. Skeleton Crew

In JAG season 1 episode 22 titled "Skeleton Crew," the team investigates the mysterious disappearance of an entire Navy crew. A skeleton crew was left behind on their submarine after it was supposed to be decommissioned, but they never checked in with the Navy. When their absence is discovered, the JAG team is tasked with finding out what happened to them.

Lieutenant Singer (played by Nanci Chambers) is the lead investigator on the case and she goes aboard the submarine to gather evidence and interview the crew. Meanwhile, Harm (played by David James Elliott) and Mac (played by Catherine Bell) are looking into a possible motive for the disappearance. They discover that the crew had stumbled upon a potential treasure trove of weapons during their last mission and may have decided to sell them on the black market.

As the investigation heats up, the team discovers that the missing submarine may have been involved in a collision with a Russian submarine. This leads to tense negotiations and political posturing as the two nations try to avoid an international incident.

In typical JAG fashion, the episode also features some personal drama for the characters. Harm and Mac continue to dance around their romantic feelings for each other, while Lieutenant Bud Roberts (played by Patrick Labyorteaux) is dealing with the fallout of a hazing incident involving some of his fellow officers.

Overall, "Skeleton Crew" is a tense and exciting episode that showcases the strengths of the JAG team as they work to solve a complex mystery and prevent a potential international crisis. Fans of the show will appreciate the mix of action, drama, and personal conflict that has made JAG a beloved series for many years.
