The Valentine's Day Cruise

 The PCIS Team is patrolling the water around The Hittyville Queen and the only boat in sight belongs to a passenger.

 Nancy suggested to Sheriff Andy they use her less conspicuous car to keep an eye on any unusual behavior surrounding the ship.

She can hear the music and laughter coming from the cruise and wishes she could enjoy a dance or two.

 The dance floor is filled with some happy couples.

 Lewis is relieved Hitty Rose didn't mind him playing the drums for the cruise.

She offered to help with the serving in the dining room.

He must admit...he loved Hitty Rose's dress...even if it wasn't YELLOW!

 Gibbs is keeping watch by the Pilot's House and everything appears to be running smoothly.

 The first seating for dinner is being served now.

 Chef Henri is making sure his guests are satisfied with their meals.

 Anna is the official hostess of the cruise and is welcoming everyone to the first of many Party Cruises they hope to offer to their Hittyville Friends.

 The Burns and Scotts are old Friends and Robert is sharing news about his renovated weaving studio.

 Hitty Rose needs to get the children some plates.

She is new at this serving business!

 Hitty Lorelei asks the Coopers if they would like a special Valentine's Day dessert.

They would...

 Paulette is staying away from the dance floor where Perry Mason is dancing with Della Street.  She misses Perry and their old dating days.

 Granny Pickle and Albert are teaching the boys how to play table tennis.

 The Merry Family is waiting for their dinner seating.

Poppy just can't stop thinking about the Paris Alphabet Book she will be writing.

The proprietors of the River Cafe are totally loving a night out.

Is that Madame Z sitting in the Lounge?

 Abby and Dano are the undercover Agents for the cruise and it has occurred to Abby they have no checker pieces and their cover is probably blown.

Madame Z is no fool.

 Madame Z is having the time of her life.  She is aware of the all the PCIS Agents in the area and really...Abby was the wrong person to put on her tail.  Everyone knows who Abby is.  What does Gibbs think she is going to do with a ship full of Friends?  Make a Pirate contact?  Really?  

The Master Criminal is going to have a little fun with Abby and her friend.

A few minutes later...

 It looks like Madame Z is going to drop her handbag into the water!

 Dano thinks this must be a setup.  The Carlson Family is sitting right there and Madame Z would never make a drop in front of others...or would she?

 Madame Z appears to be leaning over the railing...

 The handbag is in the water!  Abby will watch to make sure there is no pickup and Dano is headed to join the Agents on the sailboat to retrieve the bag before anyone else does!

A few minutes later...

 Dano has the handbag!

 It looks like there is a note inside.

 It reads..."Enjoy the rest of your cruise" and is signed my Madame Z.

Dano announces they have all been had!

At the PCIS Headquarters...

 Gibbs is furious!  He fell right into Madame Z's trap.  The devious woman distracted the Team and she did it for a reason.

 Director Vance orders the entire PCIS Team to leave no stone unturned in the search for any criminal activities that may have occurred in Hittyville in the last few hours.

Meanwhile...back on board The Hittyville Queen...

Now that Madame Z is off the ship and their jobs are done for the evening, Sheriff Andy wonders if Nancy Drew might like to take a spin around the dance floor.

She would!
