Jamie Lee Curtis makes her NCIS debut as Dr. Samantha Ryan of the DOD PsyOps Division tonight, and from the looks of the sneak preview clip below, it doesn't take her long to shake things up at the office.

She's the brain gamer - sorry, head brain gamer - and shows it right away as she gets in DiNozzo's head, even if it was mostly/all his own doing. Ryan quickly picks up on his issues with Tim ... and Tony Sr.
