In the JAG season 1 episode 14 titled "Smoked," the NCIS team investigates an explosion aboard a Navy ship. The incident occurred while the ship was transporting a group of sailors who had been arrested for drug use back to the United States from South America.
Lieutenant Harmon Rabb (played by David James Elliott) and his partner, Lieutenant Meg Austin (played by Tracey Needham), are dispatched to investigate the explosion and determine whether it was caused by foul play or simply a malfunction. As they begin their investigation, they quickly realize that the explosion was not an accident and that someone on board the ship had been smuggling drugs.
The suspects in the case include the sailors who were being transported, the ship's captain, and the ship's security officer. Each of them has a motive for smuggling drugs, and each denies any involvement in the explosion. However, as the investigation continues, Rabb and Austin begin to uncover some troubling information about each of the suspects.
Meanwhile, Commander Harmon Rabb Sr. (played by David James Elliott's real-life father, Arnold Elliott) stops by the NCIS office to visit his son and gets caught up in the investigation. He offers his own insights into the Navy's drug problem and shares some personal stories about his own experiences as a Navy pilot.
As the investigation heats up, tensions rise between Rabb and Austin as they disagree on the best way to solve the case. Rabb wants to follow the evidence wherever it leads, even if it means taking down some high-ranking officers. Austin, on the other hand, wants to handle the case more delicately and avoid causing a scandal that could damage the Navy's reputation.
Despite their differences, Rabb and Austin work together to piece together the clues and ultimately bring the guilty party to justice. Along the way, they must overcome their own personal demons and learn to trust each other in order to solve the case.
Overall, the JAG season 1 episode 14 "Smoked" is a thrilling and suspenseful episode that showcases the NCIS team's dedication to justice and their determination to bring criminals to justice, no matter how high-ranking they may be.
