nightwatch 2 was a great episode! and it really built on all the good stuff that came from nightwatch 1: a look at the teams' personal lives, a killer fight scene, and good emotional storytelling. it's definitely meant to be a happier episode, though, and it does it well by showing positive progression for the characters (kai finally opening up to someone, chase helping ernie learn to stay still and being a friend) and in particular, lucy and of course kacy. as lucy sums up in the beginning of the episode, nightwatch 2 celebrates kacy's awesomeness as a couple (and as individuals) and how far they've come.

nightwatch 2 is filled with a lot of great parallels that help the episode come together as a fitting full circle moment:

lucy being called in during a date and being forced to go fetch whistler because she's the only one who knows whistler's routine vs. whistler already being there because she knows lucy's routine and taking care of lucy's a big part of whistler's routine now, and she immediately jumps to help lucy. whistler being asked to help in s1 on her off day because they needed her vs. whistler not being needed but staying on her off day anyway because she wants to be there to support the team and lucy

whistler outright asking about the cupcake and the anniversary message (in our fridge! bc they live together!), the open dialogue between them this episode compared to s1 nightwatch when they were walking on eggshells around each other because of confusing relationship status (are we friends or just exes) and things left unsaid (whistler's promotion and lucy's loved confession)

kate and lucy finishing each other's jokes, proudly showing off their chemistry in front of ernie, kate openly showing her worry and outrage in front of tennant when she could barely acknowledge lucy in front of their colleagues before (whistler even going as far as basically telling tennant she didn't agree with the decision to leave lucy alone with joe and keep hpd out of it).

their strong chemistry and banter is still there in 1x20, but it dies a quick death when the conversation, naturally, gets more personal and crashes into the gigantic wall erected between them after the breakup. throughout s2 (and especially in 2x19 and 2x20), it's allowed to flourish and develop, it's so apparent and obvious it ends up constantly on the receiving end of Ernie's teasing comments ('heart-eyes' and 'so now you're a comedy team')

lucy getting to show off how she's matured and grown since her time afloat, properly reading the situation with joe, talking him down, not panicking even with a gun trained on her and him getting violent with her, and handling the situation almost singlehandedly

kate showing her growth and experience as an agent, coming in with the timely rescue to save both lucy and joe (taking out the guy who hurt/tried to kill lucy ala lucy taking out andrea medina, whistler being able to prevent Lucy from looking like the bloody mess she was in 1x20)

1x20 parallel with the tables turning on lucy, she's the one getting scolded this time for going off on her own, whistler's the one getting upset at her for almost getting killed and fussing over lucy using the compress (an elbow to the face eliciting the same frustrated reaction as blood, head trauma, and a cracked rib makes me feel something). funny enough, both times their arguing is interrupted by their bosses arriving. while lucy talks up kate to curtis even tho she's mad at her, kate doesn't even attempt to hide her offense from tennant at lucy waltzing back into danger and leaving her ice pack. (also Whistler being so annoyed and concerned for lucy's safety she gets involved as backup on a case she and fbi have absolutely no role in Lol)

whistler hugging a crying lucy at the crime scene in front of their colleagues, whistler in nightwatch 1 having to stand there helplessly, watching lucy cry because lucy doesn't want her to talk or come closer, while whistler in nightwatch 2 is allowed to do exactly that to comfort lucy after her emotionally grueling day.

in 1x20, they end the episode separated with lucy walking away while 2x20 ends with lucy moving closer to kate at the crime scene and at the bar

kate spends the latter half of s1 chasing after lucy, trying to win her back. kate can't go after lucy at the end of 1x20 because of injury and lucy telling her not to say anymore, obviously asking for space and distance so kate's left there alone. after they finally talk in a roundabout interrogation (lol) in 1x21, they're friends again, and they're supposed to move on, kate finally stops chasing.

then we get to 2x20 and kate spends the episode trailing after lucy (she's still going): she heads to pearl to see lucy on nightwatch, goes after lucy after she walks out of the conference room to make sure she has backup, goes after lucy when she's in trouble on the boat, and walks up behind her after joe leaves. lucy handles a lot of the case on her own, but kate is always right around the corner in case she needs her.

lucy being on unsteady footing all of nightwatch 1 because she just came from a date and is now suddenly thrust into a case with her ex, had to see her looking hot at the beach, had to see the aftermath of said ex getting beaten up by a trained assassin knowing how close she was to dying, had to hear about a promotion her ex turned down to stay close to her and throwing everything she knew and assumed about their relationship for a loop, had to somehow pull herself together after finding out her ex did in fact care and was serious about them and still broke her heart anyway. lucy is hit with nonstop emotional blow after emotional blow and can't trust her feelings or her judgement. being around whistler just makes it worse so she puts some distance between them, moving back when she steps closer, leaving when she tries to talk.

lucy in nightwatch 2 is steady and sure the entire episode. she starts the case off in 1x20 rattled, but she starts off 2x20 happy and excited, she's in a good stable relationship that leaves no room for doubts, is able to trust her feelings and intuition about joe, is able to appeal emotionally to him and when she finally does let herself cry at the end, she can lean on whistler, wants nothing more than to be around whistler. whistler's a steady pillar for her in nw2 vs. the unsteady, emotional minefield she was in nw1

both cases in 1x20 and 2x20 leave lucy feeling terrible for different reasons. in the former, kate is the cause, the lingering pain from the breakup + seeing kate hurt + finding out about the promotion are a deadly mix for lucy. in the latter, kate isn't the problem, she's the support. she's there physically and emotionally for lucy, doesn't hesitate to tell her she was right and how proud she is of her while in 1x20 its more implied when she mentions medina's takedown, like kate is afraid she might say too much, push too far. the ending of 1x20 leaves both lucy and kate emotionally devastated, lucy finally letting all her emotions out and then steeling herself to go on a date to try to move on and forcing herself to have fun. at the end of 2x20, she goes on a date with whistler, nothing's forced (except whistler wanting them to diligently follow the script LMAO) lets herself be silly and do things like steal whistlers fries, breaking character, both of them laughing at themselves, being free and easy and comfortable

zero stakes because we're two strangers in a bar and youre only here visiting from dc so this'll be a fun hookup vs. zero stakes because this literally a zero stakes non-anniversary, we're just having fun on a date, reliving a moment neither of us knew would change our lives forever, in a comfortable, committed relationship we never thought we would have, sharing an intimacy we couldn't have before. zero stakes because ill never see you again vs. zero stakes because I love you and us and nothings going to change that

whistler being all touchy feely at the bar, leaning in super close and touching her hand, relaxed and comfortable vs. whistler in 1x10 still visibly trying to let her guard down even in an exclusive pop-up restaurant with almost no chance of seeing anyone from work, and still surprising lucy by reaching out across the table to hold her hand, being so hush-hush about their relationship that even something as simple as that in public was a big milestone for them. a whistler who's in love and not shy to show it vs. a whistler still trying to come to terms with everything and make the leap

whistler being hesitant about most of lucy's date ideas in s1 to now being super excited to recreate their first meeting, being on board with lucy's unconventional non-anniversary celebration, being able to let go and have fun with her unabashedly

lucy meeting whistler the first time at the bar she'd go to compartmentalize and be seen as a regular person outside of her job, whistler who was so remarkable she helped lucy forget for an entire weekend vs. lucy going back to that bar with whistler, winding down after a tough case and having someone shoulder that weight with her, someone who's ready to comfort her and stand with her (whether it's reassuring that lucy did the right thing or reassuring her that this date idea isn't silly and is actually super romantic), who also knows how to take her mind off it, whos helping her through it with love and compassion because she knows the job, understands the struggle she's going through, was there for her during the final confrontation and wants to be there for her now. lucy doesnt have to hide or swerve around her job, she can be open about it and share it with whistler, whistler who met lucy tara retail worker or lucy tara finance broker first, whistler who wanted things to be professional, but ended up falling for lucy anyway, whistler who's always seen and known lucy the person underneath it all. recreating their first meeting is a cute non-anniversary date idea, but it also helps separate them from the case and the day they've had, let's lucy be lucy from hawaii and whistler be kate from dc and lets them live in a happy moment from the past with all the perks of their present day relationship

I think Yasmine sums it up perfectly in the interview she gave about the episode: “That was fun to play in this scene especially because since it is a recreation, it’s the trying to be how we used to be and playing all of that out. But then clearly obviously we have a relationship now and just seeing the transformation from where I know Kate was to where Kate is and the fact that she even wants to do this is, I just think it’s so adorable and it’s so cute and Lucy loves that.”

how far they've come indeed

also kai trying to eat his spam musubi and lucy trying to eat her junk food and getting interrupted by a person (johnson and whistler) and then the case is the best parallel of all time

#ncis hawaii #kacy #lucy tara #kate whistler #it took me a few days but the ep finally hit me LMAO #og nightwatch is still my queen but nightwatch 2 is a very close second #nightwatch 2 electric boogaloo was so fun i owe amy my life #i was kinda neutral about the 2n3d backstory before but now youll have to pry it out of my cold dead hands #also lucy being worried that kate was upset about the non-anniversary thing turning into kate being so excited to celebrate it ill scream #I don't usually readmore these but jesus this got long I feel like i said the same thing 10 times LMAO #its funny bc nw1 kate cant do anything right and in nw2 kate checks every box perfectly #some of this isnt even parallels some of this is just me obsessing over stuff #like the whistler following lucy thing might be a stretch but come on LOL its cute #2x19 whistlers glued to lucys side 2x20 shes following behind her when is she gonna be in front of her kissing her again-

Jimmy: "Why can't God give me a break? Maybe he hates me."

Tony: "Don't be ridiculous, God doesn't hate you."

Jimmy: "Thank you."

Tony: "You aren't interesting enough...I'd say he'd be ambivalent towards you at best"

Jimmy: "....."

Tony: "If he even exists."

Imagine 2x01, Kate coming into Ernie's lair exactly like Lucy did in season 1's crossover

Kate entered Ernie's room to find - she frowned at long, dark hair - not Ernie sitting in Ernie's chair.

“Are you supposed to be here?” No one has ever accused Kate of being overly polite.

The chair turned toward her.

“Hi! Jessica Knight, NCIS,” the woman – Agent Knight – said.

“Oh. I’m Whistler, FBI.”

Agent Knight frowned, then quickly raised a teasing eyebrow at Kate. “Are you supposed to be here?”

“Yes," Kate answered simply. "I work with Tennant’s team kind of often, actually.” She pulled her shoulders back and raised her chin slightly. “Ernie even lets me touch his computer.” She watched the change in Knight's face as her own words registered to herself. Yep, she heard it too.

“Didn’t think you were his type,” Knight said through a smirk.

“I’m not -" Kate rolled her eyes, not that bothered by the teasing. Still, she felt the need to explain. "That was not an euphemism. I meant his actual-”

“I got it. Just messing with you, Whistler of the FBI.” There was an awkward pause as Agent Knight studied her. “You sounded very sure you’re not his type.”

“Cause I’m not. I’m… Lucy’s… type.” Articulate and not at all divulging more information than necessary.

“Agent Tara, huh? Well, technically you could be both of theirs type.”

"But I'm not. I'm-"

"Lucy's."

"Lucy's," Kate parroted. Yea.

Yeah yeah yeah, I know who was cryptically referenced with the insane driving, I KNOW...

But I couldn't help thinking of how proud Hetty would've been to see that, given that she and every other female on her team are all crazy drivers. 🤭

#ncis la #ncis sydney #hetty lange #lh #1x02 #not every nod has to always be from the OG show ya know

Omg are you an NCIS fan? 👀 That's one of my comfort shows! I absolutely love Leroy Jethro Gibbs!

When I say I rewatch that show regularly--I mean I REWATCH THAT SHOW REGULARLY.

Sick? NCIS

Bored? NCIS

Need to fall asleep? NCIS

Gibbs is such a great character tbh, I love analyzing/looking at how various plots work with his development. I really enjoy his character.

**edit to add--legit, this is one of my big comfort shows, lol.

#ive only watched og ncis #cant find other spin offs on my streaming platforms #but thats ok tbh #ngl though its hard to watch after season 10 and 11 #so that queues me going back to the start lol

Nobody tell Fatima that this team is kind of chronically bad at getting their own back home in one piece 😬

#Maybe having the other teams around will help #Although the OG kills off people real fast #Usually women though #NCIS Crossover #A Long Time Coming

no tell me why i just thought of the best series finale for ncis??

the caught some big bad guy, and vance tells mcgee its time for him to retire, citing the ep he got shot. he asks mcgee to take over as director of ncis. mcgee flashes back to the different seasons, and says yes.

we cut to a ceremony a while later. our current team is there. most of ncis is there. then someone, no, two someones, NO, THREE someones quickly rush into the room. mcgee looks up to see tony, ziva, and abby, all looking various shades of happy, abby looking positively ecstatic. mcgee greets them, telling them how glad he is to see them. tony tells him that they werent the only people to come. cut to the door opening one more time, and we do some cuts back and forth, finally revealing

gibbs.

gibbs tells mcgee that he has faith in him. mcgee gets all choked up, even calling gibbs boss once more. vance tells mcgee its almost time for the ceremony. before mcgee goes to the stage, gibbs tells him one last thing

“kate would be proud”

and mcgee just hugs gibbs, and gibbs hugs him back, patting his back. mcgee hurries off to the stage for the ceremony.

cut to the directors office, mcgee just enters quietly, walking around and observing his new office. he hears a voice, turns around to see kate.

she tells him that hes not a probie anymore, asking if he ever thought hed get this far when he was being shot at from a rooftop and being shielded by a car. he answers that he wasnt sure how he was going to continue working at ncis without her. she gestures to the office, walking around as the camera follows her. she tells him that he mudtve done /something/ right as the camera spins back around to focus on mcgee’s face.

theres a knock on the door behind him, and the camera cuts behind him, showing us that kate is gone, as we hear tony, ziva, abby, gibbs and vance enter the office. vamce tells him that he came back for the extra whiskey in the cabinet, and that the others followed him. tony remarks that they couldnt exactly go back to gibbs’ house for drinks after work anymore. abby hugs mcgee again, and ziva asks mcgee if hes gonna pour them drinks. he pours 6 glasses, then another one, setting it on the table.

vance asks who its for. gibbs just smirks, answering that its kate’s, isnt it? mcgee nods, and they all clink glasses, and the episode ends

#ncis #timothy mcgee #leon vance #leroy jethro gibbs #ziva david #tony dinozzo #abby sciuto #caitlin todd #no cause theyve been hinting that hes gonna become director for a while now #i think an og team reunion would be perfect for a series finale

Why 2024 will be the year of Tiva:

In 11x01, Tony tells Ziva to “count to a million.” Now, of course we assume that he meant ‘count for one million seconds and I’ll be with you.’

But what if the ✨ universe ✨ was telling us that to count to a million, and that it would be an essential number for their love story?

1,000,000 minutes = 694 days

6 + 9 + 4 = 19

Which is the number of years since Tiva first met.

(Season 3 aired in 2005, and 2024-2005 = 19)

This year is also the shows 21st season.

2 + 1 = 3

You know what also makes 3? 1 + 1 + 0 + 1

And when did they first meet?! 👀 3x01!!!

But there’s more!

1,000,000 hours = 41666 days.

11 years = 4017.75 days.

If you remove the decimal point from the bottom number and subtract the top one from it, you get this:

401775 - 41666 = 360109

If we then add the individual digits of the answer together, we again, get the number 19!!!

3 + 6 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 9 = 19

Now, 11 is Tiva’s number.

Ziva left in season 11.

“Past, Present and Future” is the 236th episode overall.

2 + 3 + 6 = 11

And she left again in episode 11 of season 17.

“Jet Lag” (the first time Tiva are in Paris together, and is also an iconic Tiva ep) is episode 7x13

7 + 1 + 3 = 11

Tony is born in 1971. Ziva is born in 1982. There is an 11 year age gap between them. But also, if we add up the individual digits of their birth years, and then add both of those together:

1 + 9 + 7 + 1 = 18

1 + 9 + 8 + 2 = 20

20 + 18 = 38

And of course:

8 + 3 = 11

Which is also the number of years it’s been since we’ve seen Tony and Ziva on screen together.

2013 + 11 years = 2024.

And you know what also equals (20)24?

The equivalent of 11 years.

4 + 0 + 1 + 7 + 7 + 5 = 24

Now, if we go back to the beginning:

1,000,000 hours = 41666 days.

4 + 1 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 23

If we add 24 and 23 we get = 47.

“Kill Ari (Part 1)” is the 47th episode of NCIS, and the episode in which they first meet.

Add those two individual digits together and we get

4 + 7 = 11, which is Tiva’s number.

The episode also aired on 09/20. 9 + 2 = 11

Even further, if we add the digits of 2024, we get 8.

2 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 8

“Truth or Consequences” (which is possibly the most iconic Tiva episode where we all knew they loved each other) is 7x01.

7 + 1 = 8

Which also happens to be the number of years they were at NCIS together.

This episode also aired in 2009.

2 + 0 + 0 + 9 = 11

“Under Covers” is also episode 8 of season 3, which is where they first kiss each other (albeit undercover as Sophie and Jean-Paul).

8 + 3 = 11.

I’m just saying… the universe works in mysterious ways. ✨

UPDATE: I have not recovered from the announcement. I’m not sure I’ll ever recover. Of course, I wrote this post as a joke, because I thought there was absolutley no way it was going to happen. And what’s a bit of harmless clowning fun in the grand scheme of things?

Someone did make a comment though, saying that I give CBS too much credit. In fact, I give them zero credit in this. This is nothing to do with CBS.

This is all to do with Michael and Cote and them being the awesome Captains of the Tiva ship that they are. They are the ones responsible for this, not CBS.

CBS wouldn’t even dare entertain the possibility. I mean… they couldn’t even entertain the possibility while the two of them were on screen for 8 years, let alone anything else. The idea of having a whole spin off show dedicated to their most popular ship on their OG show? That would be utterly absurd!

But, I am perhaps the most excited I have ever been to see my babies back on screen together again, and to give us all the Tiva content we deserve. I might not trust writers because of all that we’ve been through, but I trust them. I trust Cote and Michael. They know what we want, and I have 100% faith that they’re going to deliver.
