The Writers Guild strike limited episode production and the DVD set had five discs instead of six. The season ended with its 19th episode on May 20, 2008; the strike-caused gap is between episodes 11 and 12. The season ended with a two-part season finale called "Judgment Day". The season featured the departure of recurring characters Colonel Hollis Mann and Jeanne Benoit, as well as the death of Jenny Shepard, one of the main characters.

With NCIS in its 20th season, fans wanting to revisit earlier cycles of CBS's perennial hit may feel a bit daunted. But those same fans likely adhere to Gibbs' "Rules for Life," which means they know all about No. 28: When you need help, ask.
Did Mark Harmon and his fresh-faced costars know their JAG spinoff would run for 19 years (and counting)? The pilot episode introduces tough, taciturn Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Harmon), the former Marine sniper who recruits Secret Service agent Caitlin Todd (Sasha Alexander) to join his NCIS team, which includes goofy/handsome film buff Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), goth lab queen Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), and dapper medical examiner Ducky Mallard (David McCallum). And thus a TV dynasty was born.
Many of NCIS's characters and storylines are deeply rooted in the military, and this season two standout marries the routines of a TV procedural with the show's reverence for the sacrifices made by the country's veterans. Charles Durning, a real-life Purple Heart recipient, will reduce you to tears as a WWII vet who turns himself in for committing a 60-year-old murder.
Better known as The Episode with That Thing That Happens to Kate, the season two finale delivered a surprise gut punch of an ending. The loss of one of the original members of the cast reverberates through future seasons and sets the precedent that on NCIS, death can and will come for the characters you love.
This two-parter introduces two key NCIS players: Mossad officer (and malaprop-machine) Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) and NCIS Director (and former Gibbs paramour) Jenny Shepard (Lauren Holly). It also delivers retribution for Kate's death by doing as the episode titles suggest and killing the terrorist who shot her. Ari also happens to be Ziva's half-brother because as it turns out, the NCIS-world is a small one.
DiNozzo's girlfriend Jeanne Benoit (Scottie Thompson)? She's actually the daughter of arms dealer La Grenoille (Armand Assante), the big bad of seasons four and five. Yep, Tony fell for his mark. It's a love story that's bound to end in tragedy, even if it was DiNozzo's most emotionally vulnerable relationship to date.
Gibbs isn't terribly forthcoming about his past, but this season five episode spills all kinds of details when he steps up to help a childhood friend of his daughter, Kelly (Brenna Radding) who was murdered along with his wife, Shannon (Darby Stanchfield). Not only do we learn more about Gibbs' personal tragedy, but the episode features some a genuinely thrilling underwater rescue courtesy of a heroic DiNozzo.
Tiva hive, I see you. The attraction between Tony and Ziva simmered for seasons, and when she's imprisoned by terrorists in the season 6 finale, the new season opens with DiNozzo (along with McGee) getting himself captured in an effort to rescue her. Why? "Couldn't live without you."
Kate's death looms large over this episode, which finds the team undergoing mandatory psychological evaluations. Yes, it's a clip show, but it features never-aired season 2 footage between Kate and Tony and concludes with the reveal that the psychologist conducing the interviews is Kate's sister, hoping to find closure for Kate's death.
Director Vance, whose secret past as a boxer named Tyler Owens was introduced in season 6's "Knockout," is left a widower four seasons later when a shootout kills his wife (Paula Newsome). Also lost in the gunfire is Ziva's father, Eli (Michael Nouri), the director of Mossad. The episode sets up storylines that unravel over the rest of the season as Vance comes to terms with the upheaval in his once-stable home life and Ziva seeks revenge for Eli's death.
While the season 18 Ducky-centric episode "Everything Starts Somewhere" is notable for the first meeting of young Ducky (Adam Campbell) and young Gibbs (Harmon's son Sean), "Spinning Wheel" puts viewers through the emotional wringer as we learn about Ducky's childhood and the loss of his half-brother.
This episode is all about the guest stars in the form of Tony's old flame Jeanne Benoit, now married but possibly still carrying a torch, and two newer additions to the show there to help Gibbs with his health. Dr. Cyril Taft (Jon Cryer), a surgeon, sees to his body, while Dr. Grace Confalone (Laura San Giacomo), a therapist, looks after his mind. They're welcome additions in all the future episodes when they pop up in to dispense wisdom and healing.
DiNozzo's farewell episodes is full of revelations: Ziva died (or so we think!) in a mortar attack, but she left behind a daughter Tony didn't know he'd fathered. Shocked and grieving, Tony hangs up his badge and gun and heads to Paris to become a full-time parent to Tali. This essentially puts a capper on the Tiva storyline, although it's not the last we'll see of our favorite former Mossad agent.
"Great Wide Open" marks the end of an era for NCIS with the departure of Leroy Jethro Gibbs. The big farewell episode finds Gibbs untangling a complicated case that takes him to Alaska. Fittingly, his final shared scene is with McGee, the character he'd spent the most onscreen time with by season 19. Despite fan fears, the show found new creative legs post-Gibbs, but Harmon still casts a long shadow.
As Palmer and forensic scientist Kasie Hines (Diona Reasonover) hurtle toward death after being exposed to a mystery toxin, we learn that Torres has helped newly widowed Palmer adjust to the demands of single parenting, Knight should be teaching self-defense courses, Parker's good with the positive reinforcements, and Kasie's wavering about signing another contract with NCIS. But McGee saves the day, and the team's all on board for a new season.
Abby Sciuto's farewell was not for the faint of heart. After 15 seasons, forensic scientist Abby (and actress Pauley) said goodbye after a traumatizing experience left her friend Reeves (Duane Henry) dead.
After years of believing she was gone for good, Ziva finally made a reemergence in the final episode of the most recent season. More great news? We'll apparently get to see more of her in the 2019 premiere as well!
Even Hetty, who lately has done nothing but get on my last nerve, is spot on in this episode. In fact, she is the Henrietta Lange of the first few seasons, always one step ahead of everyone and always, always looking out for her people. 041b061a72
