On Tuesday's episode of NCIS (8/7c, CBS), Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and the rest of the team are trying to exonerate a former Navy Hospital Corpsman (guest star Laura Seay) who's indicted after illegally providing medical aid to the victims of a car crash.While Good Samaritan laws are in place to protect bystanders who offer aid at the scene of an accident, the legalities become blurry when military personnel are involved. "The idea that you can have this extraordinary training in the field, and yet for whatever reason, that training doesn't legally and officially transfer back to working in the public in the United States, was interesting to us," NCIS showrunner Gary Glasberg told TVGuide.com. "I don't entirely understand the reasoning behind it. But at the end of the day, we all agreed that it's worth bringing up, and it was the kind of thing that Gibbs would question and ... want to do everything he could to help her."

Get a Sneak Peek of NCIS' Holiday Episode with McGee and... Ziva?! https://tv.yahoo.com/news/sneak-peek-ncis-holiday-episode-mcgee-ziva-222600290.html On Tuesday's holiday episode of NCIS, McGee (Sean Murray) takes a trip down memory lane as he pens a heartfelt letter to his father, whom he's preparing to visit for the holidays."McGee is kind of reflecting on the past and on the rules that Gibbs has tried to instill in the team over the years, and questioning some of those rules and just thinking back," Murray tells TVGuide.com. "He's going to spend the holiday with ... his dad, and that's something that he doesn't frequently do. They have a strained relationship. He's sort of estranged from his father, and part of him writing that letter, I think, is him getting out a lot of stuff he can't necessarily say."The episode also calls back to the season premiere, as McGee takes the lead on a cyber terrorism case, and the team recruits previously seen villains to help them solve the case in the week before Christmas.As part of McGee's nostalgia-fest, viewers will be treated to a host of flashbacks featuring current and former characters — including, yes, Ziva David (Cote de Pablo). "It's an episode that really, I think, is kind of a reward to longtime fans," Murray says.Check out a sneak peek below: https://player.ooyala.com/iframe.ht...]=false#ooid=ZhZXVhcjr89fOFH7Zze8lkpqBGdz6Cs8

NCIS Presents a 'Really Emotional,' Flashback-Filled Look at Gibbs' Rules https://tv.yahoo.com/news/ncis-presents-really-emotional-flashback-172139130.html

Rule No. 8: “Never take anything for granted.”CBS’ NCIS takes that to heart tonight at 8/7c, with a Christmas episode that reflects on one of the long-running drama’s recurring themes: Gibbs’ Rules.“I wanted for a while to do an episode about Gibbs’ rules,” showrunner Gary Glasberg tells TVLine, “and Chris Waild, one of my writer-producers, had the clever idea of incorporating it into our Christmas show.”The framing device, per Glasberg: “McGee (played by Sean Murray) is writing a letter to his father, sitting at the great, old typewriter that he writes his books on, sort of narrating” his account of a case the team worked during the holidays, involving hackers.“It’s a really timely case,” given the myriad Sony Hack documents continuously being released into the real world, Glasberg notes. “And it brings back a number of characters” — Former NCIS Systems Administrator Kevin Hussein (played by Ethan Rains), Heidi Partridge (Erin Allin O’Reilly) and Ajay Khan (Chuck‘s Vik Sahay) — “who are computer-focused villains of the past,” to help tackle the crisis.As McGee shares with his father the assorted rules, many are punctuated by accompanying flashbacks of characters both present and past receiving or recounting Gibbs’ wisdom. “We used stuff all the way back to Season 2, I think,” Glasberg says. “It’s amazing to go back and collect all these different clips, of everybody from Sasha [Alexander, as Special Agent Kate Todd] to Cote [de Pablo, as Ziva] to Michael [Weatherly, who plays DiNozzo] referring to the rules.”Such blasts from the show’s past coupled with McGee’s heartfelt missive to his father made for “a really emotional, terrific episode,” Glasberg adds. “It’s like a little Christmas present for everybody.”

Cote de Pablo Opens Up About NCIS Exit ('No Second Thoughts'), Her Fans' Reaction and Ziva's Possible Return https://tv.yahoo.com/news/cote-pablo-opens-ncis-exit-185758910.html

Exactly a year-and-a-half after the news first broke that she and NCIS were parting ways, Cote de Pablo has answered many burning questions about Ziva’s “rushed” exit storyline, the “outpouring of love” she felt from fans and whether she’d ever return to the CBS drama she called home for eight years.Following her appearance at the Television Critics Association winter press tour — where she was promoting the upcoming CBS mini The Dovekeepers — de Pablo said that after her break from NCIS, “I took a couple of months off, and my entire family came over which was really great. They knew that it was a tough transition for me, and within three-and-a-half months I had an offer,” for the Chilean miner biopic The 33.“For the most part I have had incredible opportunities knock on my door — I have read them, I have been not quite interested,” she said. But The 33 afforded her both an opportunity to return “home” to Chile and work with “incredible people” including Juliette Binoche, Antonio Banderas and Gabriel Byrne. “I thought, ‘My god am I ready for this?'” de Pablo relates. “And I was ready.”Invited by TVLine to reflect on and assess her NCIS exit storyline, which was folded into the first two episodes of Season 11, de Pablo admitted, “I think it was rushed. I would have liked a little bit of closure. But I think all in all I could not be more blessed, because I got a chance to be with my ‘love,’ Michael [Weatherly, who plays Tony]. Any time you put Michael and I together there’s going to be a spark, and there’s going to be real honesty, and for that I am forever grateful. Because in that sense there was a sense of conclusion as far as what [the characters] felt for each other.”As such, and given that she got much-needed personal time, de Pablo attests that she has “no second thoughts” about ending her NCIS run. “I’m very happy with my choices. I spent time with family, which was incredibly important for me. I’ve had time to deal with me, which I couldn’t really do for a long time, so I’m blessed for that.”Of course, a chunk of the NCIS fanbase reacted strongly to losing de Pablo and Ziva, with an “ouptouring of love” she says was “humbling.” “When you make decisions like this, you never expect for people to fully understand,” she added. “So it was really delicious to feel that kind of love and I’m always grateful for that.”So, might she one day reprise her role as Ziva, even on a one-off basis? “I think the fact that they never killed the character off is very telling,” de Pablo noted with a smile. “Under the right circumstances, I think it could definitely be explored.”As for locking into another series regular TV role, de Pablo let out a hearty laugh before telling TVLine, “I’m not sure if I’m ready to sign a 6- or 7- or 8-year deal. I did a long run [on NCIS] and it was remarkable and I learned a lot.” That said, she’s game “if it was the right story. If we could keep up telling a really good story, that’s the most important thing if you’re an actor.”

Now that Kensi and Deeks are all coupled up on NCIS: Los Angeles, it looks like Cupid has set his sights on Callen.In fact, Callen (Chris O'Donnell) is going to get more than a little cozy with Joelle (Elizabeth Bogush), who recently hinted that she'd like to be a part of Callen's life. "I think it's good for him," O'Donnell told TVGuide.com when we visited the set. "Callen needs a little love in his life."However, they'll have to navigate some serious trust issues along the way.

He doesn't know anything about his real life."But Callen may have reason to be cautious. Let's not forget that executive producer Shane Brennan teased at the start of Season 6 that Callen's new love interest would have a mysterious connection to his past.
