"Angel of Death " is the 24th episode of the fourth season of the American police procedural drama NCIS, and the 94th episode overall. It originally aired on CBS in the United States on May 22, 2007 and was seen by 14.14 million viewers. "Angel of Death" marks finale of the fourth season and the departure of series creator Donald P. Bellisario, who wrote the script for the episode.
The storyline revolves around the dubious circumstances of Jasper Shepard's death, the nature of Tony's relationship with arms dealer La Grenouille's daughter, Dr. Jeanne Benoit, and the team's dismay over a mandatory polygraph test.
Director Jenny Shepard returns from Europe and the NCIS team learns, to their chagrin, that they are required to take a Homeland Security polygraph test. Abby, Ziva, Lee, Palmer, McGee, and Ducky all go out for drinks to alleviate stress over the test; however, McGee and Abby are called into work and Palmer and Lee rush out, leaving Ducky and Ziva to themselves.
Discrepancies surrounding the death of Jenny's father continue to emerge, and FBI agent Fornell (Joe Spano) informs Gibbs that the CIA thinks there is a security risk in NCIS due to Jenny having gone off the radar for 21 hours. At NCIS headquarters, the director asks Abby to match fingerprints found on an empty glass and a bottle of Scotch that she found in her study, leading her to find that the prints belong to the director's "deceased" father.
McGee is instructed by Gibbs to hack into the CIA computers and find out where the polygraph orders originated. He finds that it came from Homeland Security originally, though the trace goes through several countries before returning to the CIA's National Clandestine Service.
Meanwhile, a distraught woman, Bernie (Shelly Cole), and her boyfriend, Nick (Alan Smyth), show up at the hospital where Jeanne works to see her brother, who was brought in earlier. The woman's behavior elicits suspicions from Jeanne (Scottie Thompson), and the man eventually dies and is taken down to the morgue. It becomes apparent that the dead man had been body packing heroin and that the bags had burst, killing him.
