Oh, I didn't think about Gibbs for the second drink. Abby filled it when Tim mentioned the wine, maybe she didn't see he already had one glass full. Or like I said to [livejournal.com profile] catwalksalone:

See, Tim and Tony planned to be together, but needed a story to hide the truth, meaning Sarah. I half expect Tony invented the poker story on the spot after Ziva's comment, and it's why McGee was laughing.

Or maybe Tony was supposed to be with Sarah and McGee and it's why he turned to McGee when Ducky invited Sarah, they really, really wanted to be together.

And during the meal, when Tony spoke wistfully of his failed plan, he added the showgirls like when you always embellish a false story a little more every time you tell it, or just to be sure his story goes well with him and what the others expect.

So, when McGee answer "relax Tony, plenty of wine", it was the signal that it was okay, he could stop faking it, they'll manage like that. Like, they'll drink too much, and stay at Ducky's and share the room!

That's why Tony looked at him a little strangely. He needed the time to translate the coded message. Abby was faster, it's why she was already filling a glass during the time Tony wake up and take his other glass.
