Tonight’s NCIS laid the ground work for the much touted Farewell to Ziva, and while the necessary story set-up resulted in less in-person appearances from Ziva (none, to be exact), it’s easy to see why it needed to be done. (As you may have heard a million times over since July, Cote de Pablo is leaving the series.)
The episode opened four months in the past at a D.C. event where we saw Parsons confront Tom Morrow about the case against NCIS. He protested the fact that Gibbs had gotten out of any trouble thanks to his team turning in their badges at the end of last season. Just after their conversation, a bomb blew the place apart, killing The Secretary of the Navy, Clay Jarvis and severely injuring Morrow.
This death and event served a couple of purposes in the end. But immediately, it lit a fire under Gibbs, and he was more determined than ever to find out more about the supposed new terror cell in Iran that was responsible for the bombing and connected to another case they had been working on that involved a dead (and headless) lieutenant. So he traveled to Iran to find out more. There, he found himself in the middle of a shootout, where he was saved by Parsons, of all people. Parsons, it turned out, had put together that someone was not committing bigs acts of violence for attention — it was an agenda. A Kill NCIS Agenda. When he figured it out, he rushed (all the way to Iran) to warn Gibbs.
