“#NCIS season 18: Three Ziva pairings we want to see more of”

At the moment, there’s nothing indicating that Cote de Pablo will be returning as Ziva for NCIS season 18. Granted, at the moment there’s no real indication as to when the show is going be even filming. We’re still facing so many things that are unknown!

Yet, we do at least know this: There seems to be a real interest among the producers in having Ziva back (read our interview following the finale over here), and we’re sure that there are all sorts of good storylines that could be conjured up. Sure, some of them may have to do with a Tony/Ziva reunion, but what could exist beyond that? What are some fun ideas that involve pairing Cote up with another established cast member? Within this article, we’re going to break some of that down…

1. Bishop – This one feels like such a given, once you remember that not only did they form a connection in “She,” but Ellie has been training under Odette for a little while now. We already have this great image of what a perfect storyline could be for these two characters, where they go off undercover together and test a lot of Bishop’s recently-earned skills. It’s a story involving two female characters that we don’t get all that time on this show — and it would absolutely be fun to see.

2. McGee – Sure, the two did share some moments during Ziva’s return to the series, but it wouldn’t it be nice to have something a little bit more substantial? These are two characters who worked together so well over the years, and when you think about the three agents working under Gibbs, she easily has the most history with Tim. Exploring that would be a treat, especially since McGee also has such a bond with Tony and it gives them something more to discuss.

3. Palmer – What would the story look like here? It’s hard to say exactly, since it would have to be a molding of two very-different skill sets. Yet, there is no denying that watching these two characters together is almost always fun, and their reunion was one of the sweetest moments of the arc that Cote had on this past season.
