I've always loved the idea of Shannon bringing them together, and this was a great way of showing it. She was spirited enough to deal with him before, making sure he did was was necessary, so of course now, when it really counts, she'll make sure he gets what he needs. And I love that she likes Tony enough to want to help him too! I've always thought that if she'd lived, she and Tony would be great friends.

And then they could share Gibbs. >>
