Michael Weatherly got a pretty fitting farewell when he left; fans can almost certainly agree that Perrette deserves one as well, and not one that involves Abby in a body bag.
Deadline reports that NCIS has already started setting the stage for Abby to bow out, although no details have been confirmed at this point.
Hopefully that “special send-off” descriptions means that we don’t have to worry about Abby being killed off.
Abby’s stories in Season 15 are certainly going to be ones worth watching.
