Summary: Tony didn’t want to think too closely about just why he’d decided to create a fake online persona named Claire, just so that he could chat up a certain computer geek. Episode tag to 6x14 “Love and War”.
Recommendation: I watched this show pretty faithfully right up until the second time Ziva left, I’ll even confess to rooting for Tiva long, long ago but as a diehard slasher I could not keep on the straight and narrow. I know that Gibbs/DiNozzo is the more popular pairing in this fandom but I really can’t get past the paternal way Gibbs treats his team, it just makes me too uncomfortable. On the other hand Tony and Tim’s interactions smack of pigtail-pulling and school age crushes when viewed through my permanently affixed slash goggles. This particular prank of Tony’s is only really redeemed with the notion that he’s not conscious of his interest in McGee, ‘cause otherwise it’s just a dick move.
