Ok, I'm better now.
I felt that Ziva overreacted a bit. I mean, she gets all my sympathy for her boyfriend's death at the hands of her partner, her apartment getting blown up by someone she trusted, her father having ordered her boyfriend to be involved with her, possibly negating their entire relationship and the fact that Rivkin had killed an American agent, but I still think she should've realised thjat, no matter how Tony felt about her, he wouldn't have killed her boyfriend. That would just not be rational!
Tony's face when Ziva didn't come back on the plane was soooo sad. I don't think he had ever expected that to happen. I have to say, I didn't either. I figured that there would be problems and fighting galore, but not that Ziva would quit NCIS. Although her father may have been heavy-handed in that decision.
Did anyone else notice that Ziva's line to her father mirrored a past episode? 'What any of it real?' Ziva asked, referring to her realtionship with Rivkin. This was the same question Jeanna asked Tony in her last appearance in Internal Affair, setting up an interesting parallel in the relationships: in both, one person lied to the other about the very basis of the ralastionship, despite the real bonds being formed, and circumstances led to both lies being discovered. Now we can wonder if Ziva dn Tony aren't feeling the exact same things.
That is a cruel cliffhanger! What happened to Ziva?!?! The last time we saw her she was safe on what looked like a military ship, the next she was beaten to a pulp and tied up in a concrete interrogation room on the Horn of freakin' Africa! Also, Gibbs' statement to Vance 'If you're right about her father, we'll never see her again' could suggest the Ziva's father set her up for this fate. But who is the smoking man and why does he care about NCIS?
Does anyone know when new episodes will air? I hope it's not too long.
