GIBBS AND HIS TEAM INVESTIGATE THE DEATH OF A NAVY COMMANDER BY WHAT APPEARS TO BE SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION, ON A REBROADCAST OF "NCIS," ON A SPECIAL NIGHT, FRIDAY, MARCH 11

"Heart Break" -- Gibbs and his team are summoned to examine the mysterious death of a Navy commander who, after successful open heart surgery, seemingly bursts into flames, on a rebroadcast of NCIS, on a special night, Friday, March 11 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Dennis Smith directed the episode from a script by George Schenck and Frank Cardea. (Originally broadcast 11/30/04)

The NCIS team discovers that the commander made an art out of making enemies and they track down a young ensign who was relentlessly hounded by the deceased. But as they take him into custody, a scuffle takes place and Kate reacts with fatal results, realizing too late that they have the wrong man. Ultimately, Tony and Ducky combine their knowledge to uncover the person responsible for the commander's death.
