NCIS Till death do us part, last episode of season 9



What did you think of the last episode of NCIS? 
Till Death Do Us part
(spoilers)

Let's rewind.
The double episode focuses on the new most wanted criminal - actually replaced Ben Laden on the wall- Harper Dearing. Dearing is looking for revenge for his son's death, especially against the Navy and Gibbs. 

The episode begins with Tony going through the luggages of director Vance, wondering if he wears boxer or not. By the way we didn't have the answer.
Vance is in a church with a message: your king is vulnerable.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs meets mini Ryan. Little Ryan asks the killer question: "how much do you like my mum? On a scale from 1 to 10, you can round up if you want"...

And then the "incident" number 1.
A bomb in a house

Poor Palmer realizes in the process that his wedding is not the priority of the day, his "family" is hot on the trail of Dearing. Only mentor and friend Ducky will make it. 

Dearing starts the attack with Ryan's son. He even released the evil ex husband on the Ryan family who went on hiding. And off you go, one more of Gibbs relationship that seems doom.

I think that NCIS writers have something against relationships. Ducky, Tony, Ziva, Gibbs, Mcgee are all single- or nothing serious at least. The only one who seem to escape this fate is not even a main character - by the way, after 9 seasons I think that Palmer has  REALLY earned the right to be more than a regular. 


However as we see Ziva and Tony talking about weddings, we can realize that romance is still here.

Then the grand finale, incident number 2. 
A bomb in Vance's car. 
Beautiful present for this end of season. Mcgee went flying, Tony and Ziva are stuck in an elevator, Gibbs is trying to protect Abby, Palmer is nowhere to be seen but on his way. The only absent is Ducky. Touching scene in the end, when Ducky falls - probably heart attack.

I was pretty chocked in the end, as I had just read that David McCallum has signed a new contract. 

Away from everybody, I'm sure now that Ducky will be okay, but really don't know how.

Who do you think is gonna die? 

Personally I think that nobody will. Or is that a selfish wish? After all they killed a bunch of interesting people already. I think that NCIS's ending was one of the best - and worst - cliffhanger of this TV season.
