NCIS is set to return to CBS for its admirable Season 14 on Tuesday, September 20, at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Fans thought that the Season 13 finale might celebrate Michael Weatherly’s exit as Tony DiNozzo by bringing back former cast member Cote de Pablo, but it didn’t happen.
But considering what de Pablo holds as her reason for leaving the show in the first place, we shouldn’t have been shocked.
Speaking earlier this year at an appearance at Babson College, Cote de Pablo also shared what NCIS was planning on doing with Ziva has the actress not voiced her yearning to leave.
