‘NCIS’ season 13, episode 8 reaction: Will Scottie Thompson return again as Jeanne?

Tuesday night’s episode of “NCIS” was certainly a rollercoaster of emotions, and this is especially true most likely for those who have watched the show ever since we first saw Jeanne Benoit so many years ago. During Tuesday night’s new episode Scottie Thompson’s character and Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) worked together again for the first time since his attempt at seducing her during a mission, and it is fair to say that this was a little frosty at first.

However, after Tony and the team were successful in rescuing a variety of people, including a certain someone close to her in David, the mood changed. Not only that, but she gave him a kiss on the cheek that could be read in so many different ways. If you want to see what Thompson herself had to say the characters’ journey in this hour, take a look at her comments via TVLine:

“After everything they’ve gone through [in the episode], a lot of those initial emotions [they shared upon reuniting] have sort of gone away. By then it’s like, ‘I love you as a person, in the end.’ And that’s nice, because that sort of moment can go a million ways.”

As for whether or not we will see Thompson return again this season, the actress admitted to the aforementioned publication that even she does not know for now what her future is. We would like to see her at least one or two more times this season, if for no other reason than nostalgia alone. Anytime we can dive into the show’s early years is something worth doing, provided that it makes sense.
