Although de Pablo has reportedly said she won't be returning for the episode, appropriately titled "Family First," Ziva will play a huge role. We learned in the penultimate episode of the season that the farmhouse in Israel where Ziva was supposed to be living is engulfed in flames, and that will obviously be addressed in the finale.
"Her presence in the final episode, I think that audiences will feel very strongly that she's in the episode in a way that might be a little Shakespearean but it's real. I think it's going to be a very exciting time for the fans of that relationship," Weatherly teased.
The NCIS season 13 finale, Weatherly's last episode, airs Tuesday, May 17 at 8 p.m. on CBS.
