As usual I’m starving for Tiva scenes. And recently I realized one could find “Tiva” scenes in other episodes! That’s currently what I’m doing!
Let me tell you about 11x08:
In this episode someone is driving Tony to Quantico since he doesn’t have any car due to the car crash in 10x22. (I personally think this shows how hard it is for him to move on from the previous time, an implicit reference to Ziva). Anyway, in 11x08 Mcgee assumes that a lady has been driving Tony to the crime scene, he talks about it with Abby. Later on, Gibbs assigns Tony to go talk to a magnificent woman (once again to cheer up Tony). However, later on McGee finds out Tony has been taking public transports all along, which he notes is weird for Tony.
Finally, Tony and Mcgee end up in front of a church, that Tony apparently knows a lot about! Here is the scene:
Reverend Miller: Anthony! What are you doing here? Your meeting’s not until tonight.
Tony: Reverend Miller, I, um
Reverend: Bringing a new member?
Tony: Um.. He’s thinking about it. A little gun-shy. McGee, the Rev.
Rev: (to mcgee) please join us, it’s a very safe place. All are welcome
(Reverend goes away, Mcgee turns to Tony)
Mcgee: Tony, what’s going on? Do you have a drinking problem?
Tony: (laughing) No. No I just… (very seriously) I joined this men’s support group. Meets in the church hall 2 nights a week.
Mcgee: you serious?
Tony: Mm-hmm. I know it…it doesn’t sound like me, but… (sighs) with the past year, I just…wanted to shake things up a little bit. Meet some new people. This guy at the gym told me about the group, and I thought it sounded like a good idea. And it..it is fun. (Mcgee’s in disbelief) the Rev drove me to Quantico the other morning. Interesting guy. He’s helping me being less judgmental.
…
(Tony walks away, while Mcgee stands once again in disbelief )
Let me rephrase it, Tony went twice a week to a group support in a church, trying to move on and to accept the fact that Ziva left him. At the beginning of 11x09, he even talks alone about a woman he apparently met. And as another agent is doing her stuff, she tells him she hasn’t been listening, but tells him to start over in order to listen to him. Then he litterly begs her to have a reaction to what he said, to be at least “sarcastic”!
Now this is a lonely man. This is a lonely man missing his partner, his best friend, the woman he’s in love with. And so people, Gibbs, Mcgee, other NCIS agent try to pay more attention to him, to listen to him, to give him work he’s supposed to like (Gibbs telling him to go talk to a lady he finds beautiful) so that he feels less lonely.
Hence this is the reason why you can see, even after Ziva’s gone, how much she means to him. One could call it an “almost Tiva scene”.
And you know everytime Tony felt bad, Ziva tried to do her best to cheer him up, to make him laugh, to bring him back to his normal self. That’s the reason why I think if she knew how lonely he was feeling, she would have just hold him in her arms. Had she known how lonely he felt, she might have come back.
I'm hoping we get a lot of kisses in the Tiva spinoff, but the one I'm probably hoping for most is a "relieved, run to each other and kiss desperately because you're both alive" kiss
Okay, imagine if we are getting a resumé of Tony and Ziva love story from season 3 to 17 before the spinoff aires or at the beginning of the 1st episode.
Cause I swear the first minute of the 1st episode will already be the death of me, and people will need to pray so that I can make it to watch the whole series without having a heart attack considering how emotional I will be 🥹🥹
I feel like Ziva would have been COMPLETELY freaked out regarding Tony during the Covid Pandemic. Since Tony have had the Pneumonic plague, with his lungs being severely damaged as Ducky explained in 5x01, he must have been at a very high risk regarding that disease. Thus I feel that Ziva would definitely not let him out of their place, would be the one going grocery shopping during the quarantine (that lasted 3 months here in France).
Eventually, Tony would be a little tired of her being extremely protective towards him, but once she told him she was too scared to lose him so short after reuniting, that she could NOT lose him at all, he would have understand and let her protecting him.
Is there a way Ziva could have hurt Tony more badly?
I mean in seasons 10 to 17, she:
- slept with Adam (10x12) 10x23/24
- tried to hide away from him after they had tried to finally get into a relationship 11x01
- asked him to go away (while he had traveled the world for months to find her) 11x02
- hide their daughter away from him while obviously Adam knew about Tali 11x02 - 13x24
- faked her death 13x24
- spent 4 years tracking Sahar with Adam (and we know Tony’s the jealous type even if Adam was only helping her) 13x24 - 17 x 11
I need to see at least a moment of a broken Tony, maybe a flashback, telling Ziva how much she hurt him. I need to see Ziva regretting all of what she made him go through. I need to see Ziva apologizing and telling how much she loves him, and telling him she’ll never hurt him again. Because this time a “that was never intended” will most certainly do not make up for all of what she did. On the whole, I need Angst and LOVE
