‘NCIS’ season 13, episode 8 preview: Scottie Thompson, Jon Cryer return in ‘Saviors’
“NCIS” is a show that likes to occasionally dip into its past, and moving into next week’s all-new episode “Saviors,” this is precisely what we are going to see in a variety of different ways. You’ve heard for weeks about this being the episode that features the return of Scottie Thompson as Jeanne Benoit, someone who Tony DiNozzo has a rather-colorful history with dating back almost a decade.
So how will she return? It is tied to an attack in the Sudan that could be endangering her husband. Tony will be there to lend a helping hand, but he will also have a little bit of company in the form of McGee. If you have not seen the synopsis below just yet, it gives you at least a decent idea of what to expect:
“DiNozzo is reunited with his ex-girlfriend, Jeanne Benoit, when insurgents in Sudan attack a group of volunteer doctors, including her husband. DiNozzo and McGee travel to the crime scene for the joint murder and kidnapping case and join the search for the missing doctors.”
This episode is also going to be featuring the return of Jon Cryer as Dr. Taft, who you last saw all the way back in the season 13 premiere. Why is he back now? You have to think that in one form or another, it is tied to something that may have happened Gibbs in the process of his recovery. This is something that will be a slow burn for Mark Harmon’s character. He is not going to be getting better overnight, and therefore you better be prepared for a lengthy recovery.

If they can’t rescue Jeanne’s husband, she would become available for Tony.

Sure, that’s what I’d do the minute my husband got killed; I’d hook up with a man I accused of murder and who lied to me about who he really was. What I don’t get is what any of this has to do with NCIS? Are these Navy doctors? I got the impression that they were like docs who volunteer in third world countries.

I’m guessing that some Navy person’s murder will be connected to the case. I’d rather see them stretch believability a bit to give Tony a little quality air time than see yet another Gibbs health scare melodrama. I miss seeing Tony be anything but the team idiot and every bit of drama going to the eternally tragic Gibbs. The constant Gibbs melodramas and his unpleasant disdain for Tony is wearing quite thin for this Tony fan.

Calm down, I’m saying that Tony could end up being the shoulder she cries on, then the a friend and so forth. Immediately jumping into bed with Tony would be icky. The doctors are supposed to be a volunteer group who go into Somalia to help the people. The logical thing would be to send in military to protect or extract them safely. Why send in NCIS? If you watch this show a lot, you could ask that question a lot. Simplest answer is that this is NCIS-land. The show is about Gibbs’s team and when you start running out of plausible reasons for them to be involved, you start stretching things. It’s worked for 12 years and not likely to change now.

I guess my sarcastic humor was that obvious.
