Not every crime has to involve international spies or Navy secrets. Sometimes, the biggest disaster is closer to home. Imagine an NCIS episode where the mystery isn’t a murder — it’s Abby’s missing supply of Caf-Pow.
For years, those giant red cups kept her buzzing through every case. But what if one day they just… vanished? Cue a frantic investigation across D.C., where the team interrogates vending machine operators, tracks delivery trucks with GPS, and even runs lab tests on suspicious knockoff energy drinks.
DiNozzo would make constant jokes about “Caf-Pow addiction,” Ziva would approach the case like a high-stakes mission, and Gibbs — though outwardly grumbling — would quietly order the whole team to drop everything until Abby got her fix. After all, no Abby means no solved cases.
The reveal? Maybe Palmer secretly swapped out the Caf-Pow for a healthier drink, worried about Abby’s caffeine levels. Or maybe Vance cut the supply from the budget. Either way, the episode would end with Gibbs silently handing Abby a fresh cup, proving once again that sometimes, the heart of NCIS isn’t about bullets or bombs — it’s about Caf-Pow.
