Since Tim inherited Tony&#8217;s office equipment when <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/205556\/the-real-reason-michael-weatherly-left-ncis-after-13-seasons\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Tony quit NCIS;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Tony quit NCIS<\/a>, Jimmy&#8217;s hoping that Tim hung on to some of Tony&#8217;s old things. But Tim has bad news for Jimmy. &#8220;No, HR cleared that out years ago, All I got here is some allergy medication and nasal spray,&#8221; McGee admits. He takes a pregnant pause, then adds, &#8220;I&#8217;m not sure Tony would approve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Admittedly, Tony is probably a bit too busy with his own life at the moment to worry about McGee&#8217;s allergies. While Tim and Jimmy team up to solve a major mystery at a Gilbert and Sullivan-themed gala being thrown by NCIS accountant Barbara&#8217;s (Victoria Kelleher) community theater company, Tony is globetrotting \u2014 and trying to keep himself and his family alive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read more: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/323314\/famous-co-stars-who-really-enjoyed-kissing-each-other\/?zsource=yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Famous Co-Stars Who Really Enjoyed Kissing Each Other;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Famous Co-Stars Who Really Enjoyed Kissing Each Other<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Tony DiNozzo is very busy with his own spin-off<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Tony and Ziva in Paris in &#8220;NCIS: Tony and Ziva&#8221; (2025) &#8211; Marcell Piti\/Paramount+<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While everything is as copacetic as it&#8217;ll ever be in the &#8220;NCIS&#8221; world, the titular twosome on &#8220;NCIS: Tony and Ziva&#8221; have been working their fingers to the bone to keep their daughter Tali (Isla Gie)\u00a0alive, as well as the world at large safe and sound.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Though separated, Tony and Ziva (Cote de Pablo) have been living near each other in Paris and raising their daughter together \u2014 until a common enemy decides to steal intelligence that Tony had been hired to protect with his private security firm. They have to travel the globe to solve the mystery, with their daughter in the capable hands of her nanny and Interpol breathing down their necks, but in the end they triumph. They also manage to repair their romantic relationship along the way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Interestingly, both Tim McGee and Jimmy Palmer show up on a guest list filled with the names of Tony and Ziva&#8217;s colleagues seen in a flashback during &#8220;Tony and Ziva.&#8221; The litany of familiar faces are part of an aborted wedding the pair never go through with. Perhaps in the future, they&#8217;ll actually pledge their troths together \u2014 but until then, it&#8217;s pretty obvious that the group is still bound together by the ties of friendship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you enjoyed this article, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/subscribe.looper.com\/newsletter-syndicated\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:sign up to our free newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">sign up to our free newsletter<\/a> for the biggest movie and TV news delivered straight to your inbox.
