This is one of the best episodes of NCIS. We see character growth that will hopefully continue into future episodes. Tony becomes a caring, mature adult. When Ziva is grieving he brings her good friend Shmeil to comfort her. Tim stands up to an arrogant visitor and shows what a strong capable agent he can be. This is a very emotional episode. Make sure to have a few tissues handy.

Plenty of intrigue afoot
lor_25 September 2023
Completing the story "Shabbat Shalom" set up the previous week, with its highly dramatic (and contrived) shock deaths removing two of the series' regulars, we have very fine acting expressing some deep emotions -not an ordinary week-in, week-out episode. And plenty of suspense left over for future adventures.
Given the amount of empathy we fans have invested in these fictional characters it's always highly personal stories like the ones shown here that are ultimately the most important, not the by now regimented "here's a case, case solved" format that keeps such shows rolling along. Looking back, it's a shame that the ongoing series, with Mark Harmon's departure, hasn't created similarly powerful roles.

Is Tony a grown up?

When Tony hears Ziva having a bad dream we see a shot of his bedroom and Ziva sleeping in his "twin" bed. Tony has a spacious apartment and he obviously makes a decent salary, he's also a single male, so why doesn't he own a queen or king bed?
