Tiva in Every Episode!

Episode 4x01 "Shalom"

Whew! I'm back! At long last.

Summary: "After three months of meeting up outside of work with Tony, now the team leader of NCIS' Major Case Response Team, Ziva must slam the breaks on their burgeoning friendship."

one of the best parts of shalom was when it was revealed that tony had been going over to ziva’s place every week to hang out, and then it was never mentioned again

[pro-bee]

I know I’ve said this many times before, but here are the receipts on Summer of Secret Sex after the scene where Ziva finds out her father has had her followed all this time in DC:

The shock on her face when Bashan asks her if she’s sleeping with Tony.

The look of betrayal when she realizes her father has had her followed this whole time.

(Yes I know the shock is due to the betrayal because she realizes her father and her agency have violated her privacy and trust, but that’s why it goes this deep.)

SHE NEVER DENIES IT.

She doesn’t even try to deny it. Not like a stammering “how rude!” type response at all.

If Ziva were truly hurt by the accusation because it were wrong, she would have made a point about it to Bashan, all “How dare you accuse me of sleeping with Tony! I was just doing my job!” 

But she’s in too much shock that a) she’s been followed and b) followed closely enough that they have all figured out what’s going on between her and Tony and c) using it against her (when we know now that this isn’t exactly new territory for officers in her former team) that she can’t muster any smart reply.

The way you can see her still processing what she’s been told by Bashan as he’s talking, like nothing is really registering beyond the violation of her privacy.

(Poor bby feels so betrayed and hurt in this scene, I really feel for her)

Again, there have been so many times that this accusation has been lobbied against a character and they always clear it up. Ziva isn’t worried about clearing it up, especially against someone who is technically a superior, because it isn’t wrong.

What she’s really angry about is that they aren’t trusting her to be an adult and live her own life.

They’re using her personal life (i.e. Tony) against her as leverage to follow their orders.

AGAIN I’m just struck by how hurt she is in the whole scene. 

Like she’s finally just realized that she’s not a person to Bashan or her father or her unit at Mossad; the year at NCIS and surrounded by Gibbs and Tony (and McGee and Abby and Ducky and Jimmy) has already changed her fundamentally. They aren’t just marks to her, they’re friends and colleagues and she’s forged important relationships with them. 

And while she wouldn’t have thought twice a year ago about being spied on, because that was just par for the course (remember when she told Gibbs in “Kill Ari” that it was part of her job to build dossiers on every person who may be involved in an op when she was working with Ari?) and accepted as part of the job. But she’s now had a year of being on her own and reconnecting with who she really is (and, need I remind you, spending the last few months with Tony 👀), that to be treated like a commodity again raises the hairs on her neck all over again.

Ah shit I had a bunch of points with actual evidence but I forgot them all.

IT HAPPENED OK.

They put it out there. THE SHOW PUT IT OUT THERE.

And she never denies it, and neither does Tony, and they leave it hanging.

And then all the 🔥looks between them later (like when they’re arguing in front of Gibbs and Tony has that “watch it or else you’re going to say something out loud you won’t be able to take back in front of Gibbs”).

Anyway Ziva is grossed out that she’s being spied on and that her intimate business is all over the Mossad hotline thanks to her father and she finally realizes she’s too old for this shit.

Her anger at Bashan and her father is all directed on how this is affecting her personal relationship. Like, she probably thought she had this one thing -- I’m not saying the thing was like, a legit romance because I think it was definitely something that happened by accident -- that was off-limits. Like, what does at work is fair game, because that’s part of her mandate as liaison officer, but she’d deluded herself into thinking anything off-hours was off the record. 

But no, they follow her, they know exactly what her schedule is and what their schedule is. And finding out your father knows exactly when you’re having sex is gross.

That’s her whole vibe in this scene. 

ANYWAY.

I HAD POINTS.

I FORGOT THEM.

But I love Indignant!Ziva.

I love this scene.

But I feel for Ziva.

This show is a curse.

“Being dead makes for a good cover.”

Shalom 4x01

[indestinatus]

NCIS 4x01 Shalom

Gibbs and Ziva are having a conversation at his basement and they exchange this dialogue:

Gibbs: He's supposed to be dead

Ziva: Apparently he's got better

Gibbs: Being dead comes as a good cover

Ziva then looks at him for a moment too long...

Ziva: I would agree

May I just say:

Foreshadowing at its finest

[gingerstorm101]

Shalom is on!

[parischangedher]

Did anyone else totally miss the fact that in Shalom (4x01) when Tony calls Ziva, after she says “Tell Abby I’m going to kill her” Tony says

“We love you too”

?????????????

[zdislandgirl]

OK, during lockdown I have been doing rewatches and I have a couple of questions.

1. Does anyone else wonder if Michael Bashan in Shalom 4x01 is related to Dina Bashan in PPF 11x02?

2. How does everyone know that Ziva killed Ari? I thought Ziva and Gibbs agreed to keep it between themselves. 

[dresswhitesandgoldwings]

ZIVA: Target's name was Abdul Wazir. A Syrian wanted for crimes against the State of Israel. Terminated by this man, Mossad Officer Namir Eschel. My former teammate when I was stationed in Paris.

GIBBS: Who's supposed to be dead. 

ZIVA: Apparently he's gotten better. 

GIBBS: Being dead makes for a good cover.

4x01 Shalom

[factoffictionwriter]

Ziva: *ninjas a man twice her size to the ground, flipping him over her shoulder and holding a gun to his throat*

Ziva: Ever been tied up by a woman before?

Man: *interested nod*

Ziva: Did you like it?

Man: *big smile*

Ziva: Then today is not your lucky day.

Ziva: *pistols whips him*

4x01 “Shalom”

Now, about posts Ziva episodes, I can only remember the ones I’ve watched

Once a Crook (11x05) - Parental Guidance Suggested (12x06) …. Obviously Family First (13x24) and then our latest ‘Ziva is damn Alive’ episode: She (16x13).

As you would guess, I stopped watching after she left in that day I shall not name, but I remember going back to those eps because some people suggested it was related to her. So, I hope it helps!

NCIS 4x01 "Shalom" ★★★★★★★★☆☆

[pro-bee]

I’ve said this anytime this episode has come up in the last year but the parallels between “Shalom” and season 17 are TIGHT.

Ziva on the run

Gibbs coming to her rescue

Being a little mad he left in the first place, but ultimately positive that he has her back

Everyone working clandestinely to help her

🔥 Tiva feelings even when not on screen together

Questions about Tiva status

Ziva’s past work being used against her

But using that experience to outsmart them

Ziva going on her own to take down a bad guy who wants her dead and has tried repeatedly to kill her and ruin her life ALL BECAUSE OF FUCKING ARI

Aaah

[spuffyshiips]

I have just found out in 4x01 Shalom that Ziva told Gibbs she served in Paris. She knows this town

New idea!

Ncis 3x01.

Ziva talks to Ari on the phone, wants to meet with him. He says exactly “we’ll meet in Paris after the mission is over. I promise”. Do they have safe house in Paris? New idea, why in 13x24 there was a Paris picture. God damn, every time i see something new comes up.

And Mossad made Ari fake french passport. Couldn’t they do the same with ziva in 13x24? Hell, more clues)
