Is ‘NCIS’ season 12, episode 22 new tonight? Scoop on final episodes
The bad news that we have for you tonight is simple: There is no new episode of “NCIS” this week. Luckily, this is the last time that we will be saying this the rest of the season! April 28 marks the airing of “Troll,” and the beginning of the three-episode arc that is going to close off this season and possibly even launch into the next one.
So rather than spending the entirety of this article sitting here and lamenting the lack of Gibbs, DiNozzo, and the rest of our favorite characters on CBS tonight, why not offer up some information about what you can expect over the course of these final weeks? There’s nothing in here that is a giant spoiler; instead, the intention here is to merely give you something great to look forward to.
1. While we have seen many stories revolving around criminals leveraging the power of the internet on this show, we may be entering into one of the most complex cyber-crime cases yet. It’s almost at a “CSI: Cyber” level with an “NCIS” twist.
2. Matt Jones is returning for several episodes as Special Agent Ned Dorneget, the biggest part that he has had on the show in quite a long time.
3. Be prepared to see something very shocking in the finale, and it could put at least one familiar face in serious risk.
4. As following recent tradition, showrunner Gary Glasberg is penning the finale. He typically writes at least two or three episodes a season; he co-wrote the premiere this season, but this is the first episode that he has a solo credit for.

Sounds as if the final arc will be a continuation of the season. Gibbs will get the lion’s share and drama with McGee getting the rest. Gibbs connects to a teenager and will no doubt be the one to face whatever dangerous cliffie arises in the finale episode. Meanwhile McGee and Dorneget get sent overseas, where the deadly bombing has been spoiled. Dorneget is probably toast. So basically another big McGibbs story. Tony? Not to worry – he’ll be providing the humor of self humiliation as he has been the entire season. Other than that, he’ll be completely insignificant while McGibbs handle all the excitement and drama. No thanks. It sucks to be a Tony fan.

Dorneget does come to mind when it comes to the loss of the team but I was kind of disappointed to read that McGee and Dorneget was going overseas but not Tony. What’s the point in making him the SFA when they give him nothing to do??! I believe this season has been a joke for Tony. They’ve had ONE really good episode this season for Tony and that’s the one where they flashed back to his military school days but the rest were involving either more grief with Senior or his relationship with Zoe which has hardly been flattering. Next season I expect Tony to be doing his job from home because he will be home with the baby and Zoe will have had taken over his job at NCIS. LOL Good grief…

I don’t think Tony is SFA anymore. It’s pretty obvious he’s been replaced by McGee this season. Why, I can’t even begin to fathom. It has not improved the show or made it more interesting. Quite the opposite. For season 13 they might as well just put Tony in long enough for the “comic” opening bullpen scene and then send him home.

While I think Tony as a character has had a lousy season, I do like McGee. The previous seasons McGee has been the butt of Tony’s jokes so I don’t mind McGee growing as a character and having more responsibility on the show. What I don’t like is the fact that Tony is regressing. He should be moving forward more on Gibbs level but instead he does a lot of the bumbling clown stuff. We can have both a more varied McGee and a more involved DiNozzo. The two can exist together quite nicely. Why TPTB can’t see that is puzzling. I think that is why you feel McGee is replacing Tony because they are falling down on the job of allowing Tony to become a real second in command for the team and letting McGee grow at the same time. For me that would be much more satisfying..

I agree with your interpretation. I wouldn’t be so miffed about all the McGee attention if it didn’t seem to be at Tony’s expense with tptb going out of their way not to give Tony anything of value to do. Super Gibbs has been ramped up to ridiculous and utterly predictable proportions as well. That no one but Gibbs can do anything brave, dangerous, bad ass, cunning, or heroic has put another stifling limit on what they can and can’t do with Tony. I’m really tired of seeing Gibbs as the only character who has any values or shows any compassion. It’s always the same act, the same cloying mood enhancing music, and the same noble resolution when Gibbs is predictably championing the underdog. Variety is the spice of life and NCIS has lost it’s unique flavor for writing formulas that have become dull and tasteless.
