"Time of Death"
Season 1 Episode 8: “Time of Death”
“Nolan and Bishop respond to a silent alarm call at a local convenience store where two men are attempting to rob the place; Bishop helps coordinate a drug bust.”
Original Air Date: December 11, 2018
Written By: Brynn Malone
Directed By: Michael Goi
Tumblr media
Another week, another episode, let’s get right into it, shall we?!
When a new episode starts with a “previously on” usually that means that storyline is brought back up in the current episode, so I know already off the bat that the John and Lucys relationship is going to be a focus on this episode, as well as Isabel.  Im kind of glad though, because that means there will be more traction for the doomed Nucy relationship and maybe it will finally get to a head and be done with completely, maybe, hopefully!
My favorite part of every episode, I’ve come to learn, is the cold opens.  I think because of the fact that, so far, they really have nothing to do with any of storylines that we get in the rest of the episode. John and Talia are in pursuit of the assailant, and  he leads them into a room where they realize that its an escape room and the only way out is by actually figuring out all of the clues of the room and they end up solving their way out and it also gives us a little comedy as well, as its really the only comedy we get this episode unfortunately.
Lucy and John are seen sparring with each other and it’s awkward because they are awkward still.  Still fresh off of a break-up that neither of them seemed to want, but was necessary to happen.  We can all feel it.
Tumblr media
Talia and Nolan respond to a call from a convenience store where there are two robbers, Talia quickly captures her robber, but John’s escapes and his leads him into the home of an unsuspecting scared family.  The robber runs upstairs and finds a gun, he turns, and aims to shoot at John, but defensively, John pulls the trigger on his own gun and the bullet lands right into the mans chest, and kills him.  Talia radios the shooting in and this original call becomes one, that nobody expected it too: an officer is now a suspect.  John did not think that this is how his day was going to pan out.   John starts to rationalize his decision, but Talia knows how this works and she tells John to stop, because now, this has turned into an IA investigation: an on-duty police officer shot and killed a suspect. 
Officer Nolan is asked by Captain Anderson who he wants to be his companion officer, to help guide him through this new and unfamiliar territory and he responds with Officer Grey.  It is a surprising choice, mainly for the fact that Grey has shown on multiple occasions that he does not like Nolan, nor does he respect him, and as far as the viewers eyes can see, John knows that, so why exactly does he choose him?  I personally think it’s because even though Grey doesn’t like or respect him, Nolan respects Grey.  I think that he always has.  He told him from the very first episode that he’s there for a reason and he will prove him wrong.  Maybe this is one of the first steps in doing just that?  We eventually find out later in the episode that Nolan actually chose Grey because Grey isn’t going to sugarcoat things.  When push comes to shove, Grey will be upfront and honest with John, and John needs 100% honesty right now.  
Tumblr media
Grey goes over in detail with John of the next steps that’s going to happen to him in these next ew days with the upcoming investigation. An on duty officer, shot and killed a suspect, this isn’t something that gets treated lightly.  The IA investigations are going to be brutal and John will be getting asked questions of every moment leading up to and everything after the shooting, and Grey is preparing him for that.   
Another question that pops into my head while watching this episode, why did they have Nolan be the officer who killed the suspect?  The only thing I can think of is because this show was intended to revolve around John and his career/life in the academy, especially as a rookie cop, but also because this might bring Lucy back into his life?
This is the first time that we have seen Grey be serious with John.  Every time before this, Grey has been mocking Nolan and making fun of him, so to see this change in his behavior, is serious.  Grey knows how serious this is and he knows he has to be there for Nolan, in any capacity he can be in.  I genuinely feel bad for Nolan.  This job means so much to him, so for it too potentially be taken away from him is weighing heavy on his mind.  John is in the investigation room and the questions are being rapid fire shot at him by IA. John is answering them to the best of his abilities, but you can see that John is reeling- this shooting only happened hours ago, and it was traumatizing to John.
The morning after the shooting, John just lays in his bed replaying the previous day over and over again, but did he even sleep…?  
We see individual interviews between IA and Jackson and Lucy.  Lucy gets asked personal questions regarding John and she knows the correct answers too, but has to lie in order to protect herself and her relationship with John.  Lucy approaches John the next day to talk, and she wants him to talk to her, but advises against it.  As suspected, he admits he can’t stop thinking about what happened the previous day to her.  Lucy brings John to the house where the shooting happened.  She shows John the family that he protected, who are save and alive in their house because of him and what he did, I think its what John needed to see.  He took a life, yes, but he also saved the lives of 4 other people.  It might not seem like it now, but John did a good thing.  
John is very out of it this entire episode after the shooting, and it’s sad to see.  The very normally happy-go-lucky John is long gone and he is just somber.  It is unsettling. This shooting has affected him, and for the rest of this episode, John really is just going through the emotions, of what is expected of him. He just shot and killed a man hours ago, for anyone to expect anything else from him would be uncalled for.
John goes to talk to Captain Anderson, asking to see his body cam footage from the previous day of the shooting.  Captain Anderson highly advises against it, but John chooses to do so in the end, maybe this is the next step he needs to take in order to accept what happened.  It is clearly traumatizing for John to watch, but he needs to see it in order to understand why he did it. Captain Anderson knows that as she previously mentioned she has been there.
John and Lucy end the night with Lucy bringing John back home and walking him in, and as mentioned before, you can still feel the tension between them, whether that is unresolved sexual tension or awkwardness, but its there and of course they end up in a kiss, which we all know what that is going to lead too, unfortunately.  I get it though, why they did that; they fell back into comfortability.  Given the current situation, it is unfamiliar and very uncomfortable so they regress and go back to what they know, which is each other.  This is potentially the last time that John is, or could be an officer.  He needs to feel something that was normal for him for a long time and that is Lucy and vice versa.  After all is said and done, Lucy tells John that it was a mistake, which she knows it is, but again, it felt good and familiar in the moment.  
Tumblr media
The episode ends with Lucy in the shower, and while John is up and about the house making food, he gets the vibe that something is off, goes to investigate and gets pummeled in the face by a baseball bat, and dragged throughout the whole house, and by who? The brother of the man that John killed.  This guy is out for revenge.  To be continued….what is going to happen next?
The other storyline of this episode is Isabel.  
Talia gets told by Anderson that she got the tap, and she is delighted, but knows that it’s a sticky subject to talk to Angela about because Angela also wanted the tap, but they play nice and Angela is happy for her, of course.  As the girls and Tim are talking, they look over and see Isabel being brought into the station.  Tim gets told that Isabel made a deal with the detectives to be an informant in order to avoid prison because she knows what’s waiting for her in prison is hell and she will do anything to avoid that. 
Angela and Jackson respond to an obvious impaired civilian who ends up having her boyfriends chopped off foot on her and when they bring her back into the station to book her, they notice something is up, Angela peeks over and knows the exact reason why, John Nolan and the shooting- this arrest is quietly forgotten about.  It was almost as a ploy to get them back to the station and involved in the Nolan storyline.  
Tumblr media
Tim and Lucy are talking about the drugs that Tim didn’t take from Isabels apartment while in the shop and this is really the only interaction that we have of them this episode.  This episode is not about them and their forming relationship, but they are sorely missed.  While in the shop, they get notified of Nolans shooting and head back to the station.  Isabel starts to work with the detectives, with Talia helping them as she got the tap.  The detectives want Isabel to wear a wire, and even though she is hesitant, she knows that she has to do it because again she will do anything to avoid a prison sentence.  Its different to see other people besides Tim and Lucy interact with Isabel and with Isabels storyline.  Even Talia mentioned, she was at Tim and Isabels wedding and now she’s a part of the team leading Isabel into straight up danger, I’m sure its an unsettling feeling for every party involved.  
The detective and Talia arrest Isabels boyfriend, and they knew exactly what they were doing because while booked, he calls Isabel and has her to go into the upcoming drug bust in his place.  Isabel still knows what will happen to her if she goes to prison so she’s going to take whatever else she can, which is why she’s willingly going into this drug bust, and with a wire at that.
Talia pulls Tim to talk about Isabel, and she finally tells Tim what the detectives want Isabel to do which is wear the wire.  I was wondering why Tim was being so left out of the loop with Isabel.  Bottom line, Tim and Isabel are still married, even though it really doesn’t seem like it, but that doesn’t negate the fact that she is still his wife, who he said vows too.  He has every right to feel what he is feeling about this situation.  Isabel is all wired up and everyone is ready to go.  The risks and stakes are high, this entire operation is riding on Isabel, that’s a ton of pressure on her, but for Isabel, who we still infer is still addicted to drugs is even worse.  Can she pull this off?
Tim sits back in his car, watching old home videos of Isabel and himself from when they were simply themselves and just together.  I am sure this whole situation is weighing heavy on his heart. Tim never expected his life, his marriage to go the way it did, he misses what it once was, because deep down, he knows it will never be the same and could never go back to being the same.
Ive said it since the beginning, Angela is the superior friend of Tim, which is why she ends up in his passenger seat right next to him, she knows that he shouldn’t or can’t be alone right now. They all wait this out with Isabel and the drug lord until it’s a little too late and Tim, Angela and the detectives realize that the drug lord is on to them and Isabel.  They rush in and everybody is gone, with Isabels wire on the ground.  Tim freaks the fuck out, to put it lightly and shit just hit the fan…. To Be Continued.
_____________________________________________________________________
Honorable Mention:  
Episode Peak:  This entire episode was really just, sad. I personally don’t think there was one.
Episode Pit:  John Nolan. This is the first episode I truly felt bad for him.
Quote of the Episode: “I can't imagine what you're going through. And maybe if I was in the same place, I'd think about quitting, too. But they're alive because you did your job. You put your own life at risk to protect them, and if you're ever in that position again, I know you'll do the same thing”. ~ Lucy Chen
Episode Rating: 7/10.  I don’t dislike this episode, but I also didn’t love this episode.  I know that this episode needed to happen to basically put an end to John and Lucy’s relationship but I feel indifferent to this episode.  
______________________________________________________________
This episode took me a few hours to review and I didn’t even realize it- but I had to get it done! I hope you enjoy it!

Rule 12 | Abby Scuito
Y/n's POV
"Tony, how's my little niece?" I ask my brother over the phone. He and Tali had just left Washington to travel after Ziva died. He changed for the better once he found out about Tali.
"She's fine Y/n/n, she misses you," he says, I sigh.
"I miss her too, I'll try and visit you guys soon," I say walking back to my living room in my apartment. Tony asked if I wanted to stay in his old one but after finding out about the people dying there I wasn't for it.
"Sounds good, I got to go. I'll call you later sis," He says hanging up before I got the chance to reply. I pull the phone away from my ear and roll my eyes.
"Idiot," I shake my head and sit on the couch turning Netflix on. One thing is my brother and I are both big movie people, we would always watch them when we were younger and just enjoy ourselves. We were basically all each other had.
Just as I'm about to put on Spider-Man 3 someone starts banging on my door. "Y/n open up!" I groan and get up walking to the door. I open it and glare at whose standing there.
"Can I help you Ellie? It's 11 o'Clock at night," I groan leaning on the door frame. She gives me a sheepish smile before holding up a fast food bag. I sigh and step aside letting her in. She laughs and walks past me handing me the bag as she goes to sit on the couch.
"Is it so wrong for me to want to see my best friend?" She asks, I roll my eyes eating a fry out of the bag, "No, but when it's 11 o'clock at night and you know I spend my Friday nights watching movies and hate being interrupted," I pause and pretend to think," yes," I say sitting next to her and pressing play on the movie and grabbing my burger out of the bag, taking a bite.
"Oh stop it, you can survive one night not watching a movie, besides I need your help," she says going quiet. I swallow the piece of my burger and look at her confused. "El, what's going on? Is Jake still bugging you? Because I will happily beat his ass for you...again," I say mumbling the last part but she still heard me as she shoves me to the side. "What? I had to do something. The asshole thought it was okay to cheat and expected you to take him back. Bitch no! You cheated you pay the consequences." I say getting pissed as I think about that bastard.
"No, it's not Jake, but thank you for being so protective. It's actually case related..." She trails off. I haven't been to the office since Tony left. It just didn't feel right to me to be there with my brother not there. Ellie is the only one I've kept in contact with since he left 3 months ago. She's kept me updated on everyone. McGee is gonna propose to Delilah, there's this new guy named Torres, and Gibbs is well Gibbs.
"Bishop you know I don't feel comfortable being there since Tony left. I fell like everyone judges me," I say setting my burger down on the bag on my coffee table in front of us. "You'll be fine, besides, Abby needs you," She says the last part in a slow teasing manner causing me to snap my head up and glare at her. "El stop, I told you, that was a one time thing," I get off the couch and grab what's left of my food bringing it to the kitchen. She gets up and follows after me.
"Please Y/n/n? It's the firewall on the victims computer, none of us can crack it and you're our only other option, please?" she pouts, I groan walking away knowing I'll crack.
"No"
"Please"
"No"
"Please"
"No"
"Please"
"No"
"Please"
"Ughh okay fine I'll help, now leave me alone so I can watch Toby McGuire in peace." I say falling back on my couch and lay across it giving Ellie no where to sit. "Thank you, I'm sure Abby will be pleased to see you," she smirks pushing my head up and sitting down causing my head to fall on her lap. I groan but don't respond continuing to watch the movie.
Time Skip
"Dude chill," Ellie says. We're in the elevator on the way to the squad room but I can't stop shaking my leg. "I'm sorry El, I don't even know why I'm so nervous. I guess it'll just be weird being here without Tony." I say, she rubs my arm in a comforting manner, "It'll be okay, I'll be with you the whole way," She says, I smile and give her a nod thanking her, she smiles and gives me a nod in return. The elevators ding and we walk off the elevator towards her desk.
Ellie sits at her desk while I stand behind her wall divider and lean on it, watching as Tim and some other guy talk to each other facing the monitor. "So where is this firewall THE Timothy McGee can't crack?" I ask making my presence known to them. They both turn around confused before Tim's face lights up, as he begins to walk towards me.
"Is that Y/n DiNozzo I see?" I laugh, pushing myself off the wall and meet him in the middle pulling him into a hug, "Hey Tim," I say, "How are you? How's Delilah?" I ask. He smiles, "We're both doing great, Thank you, She's actually in Dubai right now but she should be back soon. You'll have to come over for dinner soon." He says, I nod agreeing. We pull back when someone clears their throat. I look and see the guy Tim was talking too standing there with a big smile on his face.
"Hola, beautiful. I'm Special Agent Nick Torres," he says reaching for my hand, taking it in his and kissing the back of it. I look at him in disgust causing Bishop and McGee to laugh leaving Torres confused. "What?" he asks offended, letting my hand go.
"She's gay Torres," Bishop says in between laughter. He blushes in embarrassment and walks back to his desk. I join the other two in laughter. I immediately stop when I see Gibbs come in with a cup of coffee in his hand, while the others continue, I try to stop them but it doesn't work.
"Something funny McGee?" He asks, Tim immediately stops along with Bishop. "No Boss, just talking to Y/n," he says. Gibbs turns and looks at me, I smile and wave shyly. "Y/n," He smiles pulling me in for a hug, I slowly hug him back surprised at his actions. Gibbs and I never really talked when I'd visit Tony at the office so this is a big surprise.
"Uhh hey Gibbs, I just came by because Ellie mentioned some trouble with a firewall..." I trail off, he pulls back and nods. "Yea, Abby has been in the lab all night trying to crack it. Some new fresh eyes may be helpful. Do you still remember where the lab is?" He asks, I nod and give him a smile. "Yea, I should be able to make it there. I'll see you guys later." I wave to them, Bishop gives me an encouraging look. I nod and smile in thanks before turning and walking towards the elevator. I press the down button and wait for the doors to open. Looking down and noticing my shoes untied I kneel down and tie it.
As I'm tying them I hear the doors open followed by a gasp. I look up a bit and see shoes I know all to well. I slowly stand up and come face to face Abby Sciuto. "Oh uh hey," she says avoiding eye contact. "Hey," I say, "I was just on my way down, Bishop had mentioned something about a firewall." I say slowly standing up, almost eye level with her, as I'm a few inches taller even when she's wearing her boots.
"Oh, yeah, um I was just coming up to get Bishop but I guess you'll do," She says, turning back around and walking into the elevator. I stand there in a daze, "You coming or what?" She asks, I shake my head snapping out of it and follow her into the elevator. She presses the button for the floor of her lab and we are left in awkward silence.
The doors open and I let her go out first before following behind her into her lab. I stop at the door and look around smiling at the memories we shared in here when I would visit Tony.
"Y/n?" I snap out of it and look to see Abby looking at me confused, "You okay? You keep zoning out," She asks worried, I nod and give her a fake smile, which if she notices she doesn't mention. "Sorry, just got caught up in my head," I apologize, she nods and turns back to her computers.
"So, the petty officer was big into security software and ended up creating his own firewall for his computer and none of us can seem to figure out how to crack it. Bishop suggested you might be able to help." Abby explains, I nod and look at the code on the screen and smirk.
"None of you could crack this? I did this my freshman year in college. This is easy, may I?" I ask motioning to the keyboard, she nods and steps to the side letting me go ahead. I nod in thanks and step closer to her and start decoding the firewall. I get into decoding it I don't notice how close Abby and I are, nor that she is staring at me.
"Done," I say with a smile as the petty officers home screen appears. I turn to Abby and gasp at our closeness, I look down slightly and glance from her eyes to her lips as she does the same to me. Just as I'm about to lean in Gibbs comes in the room with two Caf-Pows and Bishop and McGee behind him, I jump away from Abby and clear my throat. Gibbs pays no mind while McGee and Bishop share a look and smirk at us causing me to glare slightly at them.
"Whatcha got Y/n/n and Abs?" Gibbs asks handing us both our Caf-Pows. "I was able to crack the firewall and get into his laptop but we haven't had a chance to-" Abby cuts me off before I can finish.
"Got something" I look at her surprised. "Turns out our dead petty officer had a thing for military blueprints," She pulls up the different blueprints that were on his computer.
"Never mind then," I mumble under my breath as Abby continues on talking to Gibbs. "You alright?" Bishop comes up to me and puts a comforting hand on my shoulder. I nod and take a sip of my Caf-Pow. "I will be," I sigh, she gives me another comforting squeeze.
"Bishop, McGee lets go, Abby got a lead on where the petty officer was getting the blueprints from." Gibbs says, giving Abby a kiss on the cheek and walking out with Bishop and McGee not far behind leaving Abby and I in her lab...alone.
"So... about earlier before Gibbs interrupted us..." She trails off. "Oh yeah, um we can just forget that ever happened." I say rubbing the back of my neck nervously. "But what if I don't want to," she says stepping closer to me leaving little space between us. I gasp causing her to smirk. She steps even closer and wraps her arms around my neck.
"Nervous?" She asks leaning up, with a sudden burst of confidence I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her even closer to me so our bodies are pressed up against each other. This time she gasps. "No, are you?" I ask leaning down slightly, she slowly shakes her head. Tired of all this teasing I lean down fully and pull her into a kiss, she gasps but kisses back, tightening her grip on my neck.
We both get lost in the kiss, having missed the feeling of being close to each other. We pull back since breathing is still a thing. "Whoa," I whisper, after we pull away. "Yeah," she whispers back looking up into my eyes. I see something I've never seen in them before but before anything else can be said my phone goes off. I look at Abby apologetically but she waves me off and lets go making me, I sigh at the loss of contact but answer my phone anyways.
"DiNozzo" I sigh, watching Abby move around so effortlessly. "Hey sis, did I interrupt something?" Tony asks, "No, just working in the lab with Abby, the team needed my help on a case," I explain to my older brother. "Ohhh, just working?" He asks, I can hear the smirk. "Stop it, what do you want?" I ask annoyed now.
"Just checking up on you, you know how I can get when I don't hear from you." He explains, a smile appearing on my face. "I know Tony, thank you and sorry, I've been with the team all day."
"Don't sweat it, just making sure you're good. Besides Tali wanted to say hi," He says, I hear shuffling and soon I hear the little voice of my niece speaking through the phone. "Aunt Y/n/n!!" she yells. "My little Tali! How are you?" I say back just as enthusiastically a her.
"Good, when will I see you again? I miss playing tea party with you," She asks, most likely pouting. "Awww I'm sorry sweetie, hopefully soon. I miss my little princess Tali," I say, she cheers. I'm assuming she gave Tony back the phone since he's who I hear next.
"She really does miss you Y/n/n," He sighs, I sigh too, "I know and I'm sorry Tony but it's hard for me to just drop everything and leave. My supervisor has been an ass lately and takes credit for all my work resulting in our boss pushing me harder. I got lucky to even have today off." I say walking and sitting on the chair at Abby's desk.
"I'm sorry sis, look I got to go, I'll call you later. Love you," He says. "Love you too Tony," I hang up, placing my phone on the desk and putting my head down.
"Everything okay?" Abby asks, walking over to me. I sigh and shake my head, "Not really my supervisor is an ass and keeps taking credit for everything I'm doing which makes our boss push on me even harder while my supervisor just sits there and does nothing leaving me with twice the work. It's not fun," I say leaning back in the chair throwing my arms over my eyes.
"Hey, I'm sure it'll all turn out alright. You're one of the smartest people I know. I mean aside from Bishop, McGee, Ducky, Gibbs and-"
"I get it Abs, thank you," I say laughing a bit. We sit in silence for a few before I decide to break it. "So I think we should talk about before," She sighs and nods.
"Yeah... look I like you Y/n and I have ever since we...you know. It's just I don't know. I'm scared." She says looking down.
Hey, it's okay," I reach out for her hands and pull her closer to me so she's standing in between my legs, while I'm still sitting. "I'm scared too, but I like you and I can feel something between us. Besides we don't work together all the time so there's no going against Gibbs rules." I try and joke causing her to let out a small laugh, "But if you don't want to be anything I understand," I say slowly letting her hands go.
"Y/n... I like you too, and I do want us to be something" She says taking hold of my hands again. I look up at her with a smile on my face which she returns. "Really?"
"Of course you dork," She laughs moving to sit on my lap and wrap her arms around my neck pulling me into a kiss. I pause before wrapping my arms around her waist holding her close.
"So does this mean you're my girlfriend?" I whisper as we pull away, she nods and gives me a quick kiss. I smile and give her a quick kiss.
Time Skip
Abby and I have been sitting in her lab talking for the past few hours, when Gibbs comes in the lab. "Y/n I need to speak to you," he says, I gulp but nod and stand up, walking over to him.
"Yes?" I ask. "I know how things at your job now are and after your help today I think we could use you." He says with a smile.
"What are you trying to say?" I ask him confused. "Welcome to the team Y/n," he says with a smile before walking out. I turn and look at Abby shocked.
"So much for not breaking his rules," I sigh.

Though TVLine has made a case for why any number of cast members/characters from NCIS‘ past could/should return for any possible on-screen tribute to the late David McCallum, there are also very valid reasons why that RSVP list might turn out to be quite limited.
Heading into its 21st season come February 2024, CBS’ NCIS cast now boasts zero original cast members, seeing as — if you get technical (and people do) — Sean Murray (who plays McGee) and Brian Dietzen (Dr. Palmer) did not become series regulars until Seasons 2 and 10, respectively. (Rocky Carroll made his debut as Vance in Season 5, and joined the cast in Season 6.)
As such, from go, any episode that might aim to give McCallum/Dr. Donald Mallard a proper sendoff will be light on colleagues who actually worked alongside McCallum/Ducky for more than a third of the well-watched series’ run.
That is why, when speculating about any “Ducky tribute” episode (no official plans have been announced, yet), there have been cries of, “Well, Mark Harmon/Gibbs has to be there!”
“Yes! And Michael Weatherly/DiNozzo!”
“Ooh, a perfect time for a #Tiva reunion, if Cote de Pablo comes back…”
“But don’t forget Emily Wickersham! We need closure on Bishop’s exit!”
“Can we also get visits from some ghosts of dead characters, too??”
Yeah, you can see how this can get very out of hand.
The fact is that — any scheduling/availability issues aside — you can’t simply “bring back” Gibbs. Or DiNozzo. Or any of the above. No matter how much their presence might be warranted for this occasion.
Tumblr media
I mean, you can absolutely bring back Gibbs — especially if Mark Harmon knows about it. But then you’ll have to commit some dialogue/screen time to coaxing updates out of the team’s taciturn former leader.
Ditto Weatherly/Tony and de Pablo/Ziva, who have not shared a scene together in more than a decade (but presumably reunited off-screen after de Pablo’s most recent solo visit). An appearance by Tali’s father or both her parents will consume much storytelling oxygen, since fans of that primetime supercouple will want/need to know how their unconventional family unit is faring.
And if Emily Bishop resurfaces after abruptly peace-ing out on NCIS — including Nick, her apparent boyfriend…? There will be those demanding some i’s be dotted and t’s get crossed on that front.
What that all adds up to is, if you accommodate even two of the aforementioned returns, suddenly this Very Special Episode is a lot less about David McCallum and Ducky, and more about “Boss, what kind of fish are you catching in Alaska?” and “Sooo, might Tali get a big brother or sister anytime soon?”
Is that a trade-off you’re willing to make, all in the name of a well-attended trip down memory lane?
Or do you see some other option that brings back many of the above but successfully “cheats” us on proper catch-ups?
Me, I could be content with a Case of the Week that thoroughly vexes Dr. Palmer as he mourns a recently passed Dr. Mallard. But it’s flashbacks of wisdom imparted over the years, by Ducky, that helps Jimmy near single-handedly crack the case, ahead of a proper memorial for his mentor.

WIP Wednesday
Thanks for tagging me @melisusthewee and @nirikeehan
This snippet is from a Dream scene of Taliesen and Solas playing chess. It's basically their closure.
“You’ve bought the set!” Solas exclaims, smiling as his finger lightly brushed over the glossy stone pieces.
“I never quite forgot those puppy eyes you had when you looked at the set.” The fondness of the eyes looking upon them brings a smile onto Taliesen’s lips. “I kept saying we could afford it but you insisted you’re content without it."
“Such luxuries would have been unwise in times of fighting.”
A blue gem of lyrium had a speckling shine over fluttering flakes of snow, held in place by the ring of gold that trimmed the piece’s edges. The memory of the chess set was as finely crafted as the set they saw displayed inside the Val Royeaux storefront. Yet as all memories in the Fade, there were imperfections, sensory[[ impressions]] that her mind couldn’t fill in.
The bishop grated like granite sand on his fingers and without the true mirror gloss of marble. It was a sensation that Taliesen would not have understood, given her meager upbringing. That is how Solas knew this is a memory formed out of regret for a decision never taken, yet it was regret enough to create an impression in this world.
With a puff of his breath and a fine fiber cloth wipe, the piece is polished into a smooth porcelain shine.
“We should play a game.” Solas grabs both her hands, not remembering to set the bishop down.
They were alone in their tower, snow piled onto the balcony but now cold was felt as the two former lovers played one last game of chess together with the candle light keeping her company in a place of just them.
“You have improved since the last time we've played.” Solas smiles when moving his bishop.
“I've had time to practice many things now that the fighting is over with.” Tali shows a toothy grin when her knight to take his pawn.
He chuckles at that notion, the Inquisition had taken much from Taliesen. It was never meant to be where she belonged, just a stepping stone for her journey, he was at peace now to see her ready to take the next step forward so soon.
“And I see that you’ve been enjoying your time with Sera.” Solas moves his rook.
Tali lifts her bishop and points at her opponent. She raises a brow, “I’ve never thought you’d actually comment on that.”
“Far from it.” Solas shook his head once. “Whoever you choose to be with is your own business. I’m merely elated that you’re doing well.”
“Thank you. She has been an amazing partner and has been quite dependable,” Tali swaps Solas’s bishop with her own bishop. She had a satisfied smile, waiting for Solas’s reaction. “I remembered when you pulled that maneuver on Bull. That trick won’t keep working forever.”
The time gone from Skyhold has made Solas nostalgic for his Inquisition brethren. It was a brief time, but no matter how brief there was much that he learned from all the exceptional individuals that their war had gathered. For even if that time is over, he is relieved to see that continue having fruitful lives.
“We have all changed, haven’t we?” He moves his queen to take the bishop.
“Correct. There’s still much work that still needs to be done.” She moves her rook to challenge the queen. “But I don’t find the work all consuming anymore.”
When her burdens ended, Solas’s burden’s had gotten heavier. It was a lonely path that he had to walk, he was grateful that it didn’t have to be hers too.
There was hesitation before taking his next move, his piece was not one he could afford to lose this far into his game, nevertheless Solas had to press forward too. He moves his queen to accept Taliesen’s challenge.
“Knight takes queen. Right where I wanted everything to be.” Taliesen declares as her knight takes the place of Solas’s queen. She folds her hand together with satisfaction. There were no pieces that he had in place to hold her knight’s advances. Seeing this causes a proud smirk to form on his lips. He simply moves a pawn.

VtM:WW(W) - The Introduction & Overview Pt. 2
“what the fuck are you talking about?” - start here. it’s my vampire campaign (vampaign)
taly potent my horrible wife dont you read any more of these after this
A quick recap:
Pierce Clements is the Tremere Prince.
Mona Iglesias is the Ventrue Primogen.
Everyone hates Ambrose.
The old coterie consisted of Humphrey Harvey Hampshire, Trevor Ygghain, and Val Diaz
VtM:WWW starts with a mass Embrace, as all good things tend to start with. The mass Embrace was also found by the Scourges, and quickly devolved into a Frenzying mass of horseshit because the Malkavian thought it would be a good idea to Dementate everyone.
There are only three survivors, brought by the Scourges to present to the Prince (and Sheriff). Typically Camarilla policy would be to have them executed, since they're practically shovelheare, but Mona has always been a bleeding heart and convinces Clements to give them a chance, provided she could find adoptive sires for them.
So she does! The three she find are:
Evelyn Caillat, the Representative (not Primogen) of Clan Lasombra. (she/her)
Valentin Aubermont, Primogen of Clan Malkavian. (he/him)
And Jesse Cowen, her childe and Scourge, name not bolded because he doesn't come up again. (they/he)
Evelyn does this because she wants to prove herself as someone who has powerful childer and what would be better than a shovelhead reformation project? Aubermont does this because he's piloted by spite. Jesse does this because. Actually they don't do it. They get mad and walk out since they have sire issues. Oops 😬
But that's fine! Clements makes a phone call to the only person he can think of, his sire. That won't end poorly.
These are the shovelheads:
Polly Marie, a City Gangrel who has already presented as such. (they/them)
Max Forrester, whose Clan has not yet manifested. (he/him)
And Mahdi Ochre, whose left eye has turned blue, but nothing else has shown up. (he/him)
Evelyn gleefully takes Max as her own. Aubermont takes one look at Mahdi's piercings and goes Oh Yes (malicious, spiteful). And Jesse sees Polly and leaves.
So the two sires and their not-childer leave and go their separate ways. At this point in time, I think the players believe Evelyn is Toreador and Aubermont is Ventrue. Aubermont gives his first speech about shit, and he talks about how appearances can always be deceiving, that everyone's a lying sunnovabitch, and that you shouldn't trust anyone in this city because they're all rotten. Evelyn is pampering Max rotten.
Polly, meanwhile, gets taken in by Clements's sire. He is a little boy named Edward Bishop, and while he is also a child, he is also six hundred years old and the childe of Karl Schrekt. Polly makes fun of him being a little boy and Bishop nearly beats their ass on the spot.
Evelyn gloats for a bit.
Mahdi is given an apartment that is cluttered and messy and horrible. There's a tin of yogurt in this fridge that's been expired for ten years. Mahdi's player is convinced that the yogurt is a clue, and she overanalyzes it and runs, like, a Perception/Occult check on the thing. It's just yogurt.
Polly is taken to the chantry and they are treated as Tremere, despite everything.
Night zero ends.

You know what? When ncis ends,(and to be clear I want  the show to be on air as much as possible, always with good content of course) I would like to see that it has a good final, like I want a happy one, 
Like, they close this big case and Vance gives them vacations. I imagine Gibbs with Tobias and Phil going out camping/fishing like they do in one episode. I want Ducky + Kasie visiting Jimmy and Victoria while having a good time. To the Mcgee’s to go to Paris to visit Tiva+Tali and while the adults laugh and talk their kids are playing around. I want to see Vance with his kids being happy. Knight doing something she enjoy with her family or friends (there still nothing certain about her background) . I want Nick talking with her sister and niece via Skype (or someting like that) somewhere in Europe, maybe Italy and that when he hang up Ellie apears from behind wearing one of his shirts ,sits in his lap and kiss him. 
I know that probably I will get the “Grab your gear” with Mcgee as their new boss  and there was a time I would have been fine with that, but after this season so full of losses I don’t want it anymore xD . I need to know that when the show ends everyone would be happy with the people they care and love.
