Warning: SPOILERS for the first three NCIS: Tony & Ziva episodes are ahead!
Like my colleague Laura Hurley, I enjoyed watching the first three episodes of NCIS: Tony & Ziva on the 2025 TV schedule, though in my case, it’s as someone who followed along with Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David on NCIS for years. Still, I wasn’t expecting for the Paramount+ subscription-exclusive spinoff’s opening episodes to not only keep flashing forward to a wedding, but one where Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo’s characters aren’t tying the knot. As surprising as it was to see this, I was delighted to learn the origins of this scene directly from de Pablo and Tony & Ziva showrunner John McNamara.
