Got anything interesting on NCIS? — Jeffrey
ADAM: Ask yourself this: Which NCIS-er do you think needs to see a shrink? (Correct answer: All of them!) But in the meantime, one team member will log some couch time in the near future, as the show is looking to add a clinical psychiatrist who specializes in combat trauma and stress-related anxiety issues to the cast. She reads people like books and isn’t shy about digging up sensitive memories. Oh, the things that must be in Tony DiNozzo’s head.

Added some Episodes stills from Season Eight Episode Ten False Witness. Which Guest stars Annie Wersching (CSI, 24, General Hospital)

NCIS star Michael Weatherly will pull double duty later this season as he makes his directorial debut.

“I like cameras and I like sets and the surgical nature of make believe that happens — the whole process,” Weatherly tells TVGuide.com. “I love all aspects of production, and I have a great deal of respect for the whole craft. I’m really excited about directing; it’s an extension of my curiosity about film and TV.”

Weatherly expects to go behind the camera for an episode filming in January. He says the crew may also document his directorial experience for a special feature on the forthcoming Season 8 DVD.

Weatherly, who has made known his desire to direct for some time, says his curiosity about filmmaking began when he was a cast member on the ABC soap opera Loving. “I think that was always fascinating to me,” he says. “When I was on the soap opera, I’d sit in the editing booths when they’d tighten up the show to see how they did that and what the technical process was. I probably should’ve started getting into the technical side of it earlier.”

Although a CBS rep confirms that Weatherly will helm an upcoming episode, no other details about the episode were immediately available. But Weatherly — whose character, agent Tony DiNozzo, is known for his trademark sense of humor — promises the episode will stand out.

“I’ve got a lot of ideas about my version of NCIS,” he says. “I can promise that it will be a little bit different. It’s daunting to imagine that I am going to be running around in charge.”

And Weatherly, who likes to cut up as much as his character, says his co-stars are in for a ride. “Everyone is terrified,” he jokes. “Sean Murray [McGee] is probably most terrified because I have got a lot of acting notes for him.”

Weatherly, 42, has starred on the hit CBS procedural for all eight seasons. He signed a multi-year contract extension earlier this year. NCIS airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on CBS.

So just a little news on Upcoming NCIS Episodes. Next week not only is it an old episode, but NCIS isn’t on at 8, it’s regular time. November 30th, at Eight CBS will be airing, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. And following that will be NCIS rearing Episode 7×19 Guilty Pleasure (The death of a Navy officer leads Gibbs and the team into the world of high-priced call girls, relying on D.C. Madam Holly Snow to help them catch a killer)

Then on December 7th, NCIS will once again be old. They will be rearing episode 7×23 Patriot Down (When a colleague’s murder sends shockwaves through the team, Gibbs uncovers a surprising link to the crime )

Then Finally on December 14th, (SPOILER ALERT) NCIS will be back with and all new Episode. The episode will be 8×10 and called False Witness (The NCIS team investigates the disappearance of a Navy petty officer who is the sole witness in an upcoming murder trial) with guest star Annie Wersching (who last role was on 24). This also looks like it’s the last Episode before the new year, but do not quote me on that one.

On December 21st, NCIS is once again back to old Episode. They will be rearing Season Seven’s season finale 7×24 Rule Fifty-One (Gibbs heads to Mexico to face his demons and make a startling decision, on a rebroadcast of the seventh season finale of NCIS)

If your head is still reeling, and your heart still pounding, from last night’s episode of NCIS, you’re not alone. The first episode in the two-parter exploring the history between NCIS Director Vance (Rocky Carroll) and Mossad Director Eli David (Michael Nouri) was info- and action-packed. Fan favorite writer Jesse Stern has spent all season working on these two hours. Last night, we watched as Eli ventured off Israeli soil for the first time in 12 years to attend, in-person, Vance’s review of international case files with contributions from all living NCIS directors (RIP, Jenny). He wanted to be there to defend himself when the truth was finally revealed about Vance’s first NCIS mission in Amsterdam 20 years ago. Having an emotional reunion with Ziva and luring out the remaining three members of a Palestinian terror network that wants to assassinate him was just a bonus for him. For viewers, however, those scenes of the joint NCIS-Mossad protection detail running through an ambush scenario in the hotel parking garage, Ziva confronting her father about why he wasn’t begging her forgiveness for leaving her for dead in the desert, and the actual ambush itself, were the highlight of the episode. (Watch them below.)

Eli never made it to the hearing, and the episode ended with Gibbs unable to reach Eli and Vance after a blast went off at the safe house they retreated to (RIP, Hadar). NCIS exec producer Shane Brennan promises the Nov. 23 conclusion will not disappoint. “Vance isn’t gonna wake up at the end of next week’s episode and say it was all a dream,” he jokes. “It’s a cleverly-woven piece of fabric. There are no loose threads to pull at the end of this episode.” That means we’ll finally find out what happened in Amsterdam to shape Vance and set him on-course to become the director of NCIS. (The episode has extensive flashbacks to that pivotal time and, through the magic of makeup and computers, actor Rocky Carroll was able to play Vance at age 27. We’ll have exclusive behind-the-scenes shots on Monday with commentary from Carroll and Brennan.) Brennan tells EW that we’ll also resolve another of the series’ great mysteries: “The infamous paper that was shredded — answered next week,” he says, referring back to the season 5 finale when Vance became director. “The famous last scene that shocked the hell out of everyone, when he walked into his office and shredded one sheet of paper, called everyone in, and shuffled them around the world.” The text Eli sent Vance earlier this season, “I found him,” will also be part of the revelation.

Two more teases: There will be at least one more death. (I’m betting on mini-Ziva, especially after we found out that she was sleeping with Malachi. And why wouldn’t she be? He’s smokin’.) And the tension you felt watching last night’s episode as they escorted Eli to and into the hotel is just the starting point. “I think of episodes and stories in moments because people remember the moments,” Brennan says. “They talk about them the next day. They don’t say, ‘Ah, the show was about such and such.’ They say, ‘Ah, there was this great moment.’ If you get five or six moments in an episode, great. In next week’s episode, there are probably a dozen moments that are memorable. The tension is cranked up from the beginning and it doesn’t let you go… And yet, we still manage that wonderful NCIS humor.” (I loved Tony suggesting that the room full of ex-NCIS directors might want to applaud him last night.)

What did you think of part 1? What’s your prediction for how part 2 plays out? The safe house bomb was an inside job? Who else doesn’t want Amsterdam revisited?

Chilean actress Cote de Pablo recently dished exclusively to Latina.com about a pair of explosive episodes coming up on her hit show, NCIS (Nov. 16 and Nov. 23 on CBS). The first airs tonight and de Pablo sent us some more juicy spoilers about the long-awaited episodes.

After telling us last week that the two-parter will feature a reunion of sorts between Ziva and her father, Mossad Director, Eli David (Michael Nouri)—de Pablo now reveals that fans might get to see some resolution between Ziva and Eli in tonight’s episode. “People will have to watch to see exactly how, but maybe there will be an unspoken forgiveness between father and daughter,” teases de Pablo.

De Pablo confirms that regardless of the outcome, the episode will change Ziva in a major way and “affects her relationship with her father.” De Pablo also reveals that one NCIS team member will save another team member in the episode, but because the details are top secret, she adds, “That’s ALL that we can say.”

Cote confirmed what NCIS fans have known for weeks: A team member will get hurt in the two-parter. “Yes, one of the main characters does get critically injured and it will be discussed further later on in the season,” says de Pablo.

Can we expect a really big Tiva moment on ‘NCIS‘? – Michaela
In a word, yes. In 50 words: “Like Tony, ‘Tiva’ fans have been teased by several references this season to a mysterious man Ziva is acquainted with in Miami,” ‘NCIS’ executive producer Shane Brennan tells me. “This ‘Miami Man’ could be Washington-bound before the end of the season, and his arrival is sure to cause a stir for the NCIS team – particularly Tony.”
