NCIS EP Teases Big Gibbs Reveal, How It Will Affect Both Him and the Team

A reader on TVLine (not me) had a great bit of speculation about what the above article could be pointing to, and I think this reader might be right.

What if Emily is Gibbs' daughter and not Fornell's?  Diane kept it from him all of these years.

Aren't we supposed to see Diane again somehow?  Such a revelation would indeed shake Gibbs.

I’ve pretty much stopped watching, but isn’t Diane dead?

That just says she will guest star - that shouldn't be a spoiler, since based on how the season finale ended, that should be a given. You don't pop her in in the end, have her tell Gibbs he is in danger, and then not have her show up in the season 17 premiere 😉

If it was just Gibbs imagination then it would be possible. He could rub his eyes and then Ziva's gone and was just a trick his mind played on him, for example. Sure, it would be ridiculous to bring her back for this one scene but when it comes to TV, my motto is "you never know". (I was also on a different board a while ago and many there considered every piece of information about an upcoming episode a spoiler. I guess, I adapted to that :-))

And even though we know she will be back, I'm still not ready to accept it as fact that she is alive. It's still possible that the note left for Bishop was a fake and the Ziva we're seeing is just Gibbs' imagination. I think that would be a sh*tty move on TPTB's part but then again, this is TV. I don't trust TPTB.

Thought this was an interesting bit of casting information.

I agree with the writer of the article that it will be via flashbacks, but I am curious to see how they work Breena back in. Also interesting that Brian Dietzen is writing the episode - has he written one before?

Interview with showrunner Steven D. Binder...

'NCIS' Showrunner Shares Spoilers on What's to Come for McGee, Torres, Knight and Palmer (Exclusive)

Quote

Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) is lying about what he’s doing for Christmas. He tells Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen) that he’s going to be with McGee. He tells McGee that he’s going to be with Jimmy Palmer. Is there something new and exciting happening in Torres’ life, like maybe a woman?
There is. Torres has a girlfriend. He has started dating someone who has a connection to someone in the building, and that someone in the building is not going to be happy about it. And that someone will also be the last to know.
*  *  *
In this episode, Palmer and Knight are very friendly and getting along. They seem to have reached a détente. But is their relationship over because of the possibility that she may change jobs in the future and want to move up the ladder?
I’d like to think that at some point they’re going to realize that they’re probably better together, which means they’re worse apart. Which means we get to see them worse apart first. And then we can see them get back together, which will be more fun, by the way. Seeing them together and happy is about as fun as watching two people having dinner.
*  *  *
But would Jessica give up her dreams of building a big career to be in a romance?
The REACT job took her geographically far away. That doesn’t necessarily have to happen again. There’s also long-distance relationships. We’re going to go where the fun is, keeping our characters true to themselves and strong. She’s already made it clear that she’s not ready to be with someone. He’s got kids, he’s got to be in one location, he’s got to be a little more stable. She wants to be able to go out and do whatever, so she hasn’t gotten to that place yet. She tried for a little while and it just wasn’t fair to him.
*  *  *
Let’s talk about Deputy Director Gabriel LaRoche (Seamus Dever). He’s an obnoxious character. He keeps popping those mints and he seems very full of himself. Is McGee right to suspect him of not being the right guy for the job?
Given what McGee knows, absolutely. And McGee should be pursuing this. There is something about this guy, something is off, something is wrong and he’s not just a climber. There’s something else happening with this guy. If I was watching the show as a fan I’d say, “Well, look, if he starts out as a bad guy does that mean he’s our bad guy all the way to the end? I would think not."

It’s going to be a little more complicated than that. It will be more interesting. It’s not terribly interesting when there’s a bad guy and you’ve got a gun and then you’ve got to shoot him and the bad guy’s dead. It’s much more interesting when there’s a bad guy and you’ve got a gun and he’s holding a grenade and if you shoot him the grenade falls and blows up the bus. But maybe the bus needs to get blown up because it’s got a nuclear bomb on it. It’s going to be that kind of thing with him.
*  *  *
So, Parker and the pastries. Is there somebody new on the writing staff that’s a pastry person? Because they come up with pastries I’ve never heard of. This week it’s Norweigan kringla.
That was in the original character bio that he brings in pastries from the most obscure parts of the world found in the most obscure parts of the city. Some underground shoe repair store, but the guy’s wife is from XYZ and she sells these pastries from her part of the world.

As it turns out, though, we do have a writer on staff, Andrew Bartels, and one of his very first stories was about a bakery. We’re going to actually see Parker buying pastries at a bakery. I put it on hold because he said he doesn’t just bring donuts, he doesn’t just go to bakeries, so I didn’t want to do that right away, I wanted to wait a little bit, establish Parker a little more as this interesting pastry buff before we just stick him in a bakery.

We’re going to finally see Parker buy pastries. He’s got a little crush on his baker and that’s going to end badly. We will also learn more in that episode about who Torres is dating and why someone in the office is so horribly upset about it.

‘NCIS’ First Look: Melina Kanakaredes Cast as Parker’s Crush — Get Details (PHOTO)

If you’ve wanted to see Parker (Gary Cole) actually pick up some of those pastries he brings in to work every day, well, you’re in luck: That’s exactly what’s coming when NCIS returns on Monday, January 27, 2025.

TV Insider has learned exclusively that The Resident‘s Melina Kanakaredes will guest star in the midseason premiere as the owner of Parker’s favorite bakery. In the episode, titled “Baker’s Man,” after NCIS learns that the owner of Parker’s favorite bakery is being blackmailed, they hatch a plan to save her. Plus, tensions heighten when Torres’ (Wilmer Valderrama) secret romance is discovered. Star Rocky Carroll directed the episode. Check out the full version of our exclusive photo of Kanakaredes with Cole below.
*  *  *
Kanakaredes is “great,” executive producer Steven D. Binder tells us. “We talk about archetype, our dream character, and she was the name on the board when we were breaking the story. She’s a ton of fun. Parker, I think, has a little crush on his baker. We’ll finally get to see Parker buy some pastries. We’ll see where some of them come from. I’ve always been of the mind that half of them come from some expat who owns a gas station and happens to sell these mother country pastries. But this one he actually is going to buy from a legit pastry shop. She’s going to, how do I put this? She might not be a good guy.”
*  *  *
And Kanakaredes might be back. “The original plan was just the one episode, but she was so great that we have a board of people who, let’s see if we can bring this person back. So it’s just the one episode planned, but she’s certainly someone we’d love to see again,” says Binder.

Do we know who NCIS‘ Nick (aka “babe”) was texting with in the midseason finale? –Deb
“We will meet this person this season, and it is someone we have met before,” showrunner Steven D. Binder told me. In fact, “someone else in the squad room will be very annoyed” by Nick’s choice of romantic interest. (Maybe because it’s a fellow agent’s sister…?)

Cool, Melina Kanakaredes.  I remember her from a few episodes of NYPD Blue in the second season, where she played the (brief) girlfirend of Bobby Simone (Jimmy Smits)

NO!  Please say it isn't so!  Not that I'm extremely enamored of the Nick character, but any prolonged focus on the continued juvenile antics of the squabbling sisters will make me make me turn the channel.

I remember her and liked her in "Providence".  Big city plastic surgeon moves back to small town home.  It ran 1999-2002.

Any NCIS scoop? –Sylvie
Well, I did bring my concern about Alden’s “Lily” mystery to showrunner Steven D. Binder, asking: Will it be about more than, as hinted by Dr. Grace, “mommy issues” for Alden? “All I can say is yes,” Binder answered. Bonus scoop: The teaser I fiendishly omitted last time around, about McGee? Here it now is: “He’s going to have a dinner from hell… with Delilah,” Binder told me.

While I'm not opposed to Nick getting some loving, I agree 100% with this. The sister seems so dopey and immature, so unless they give her a personality transplant, I'm not looking forward to her return. I would've even preferred Vance's daughter, if they aged her up a bit. At least she's an agent and appears intelligent. Knight's sister strikes me as flighty and not very smart.
