‘NCIS’ Fans Are Angry About Ziva’s [SPOILER] In Tony’s Last Episode

Tiva — Many fans of Ziva (Cote de Pablo) and Tony (Michael Weatherly) were upset with the “NCIS” Season 13 finale. CBS

Ziva David is dead, and fans aren’t just mourning the “NCIS” character: They’re angry. Many employed social media to reveal how much they hated the final twist in Ziva’s storyline.

Ziva (Cote de Pablo) left the CBS show in Season 11, but the “NCIS” Season 13 finale heavily involved the character. She was killed in an explosion and left behind a daughter that she had kept hidden from Tony (Michael Weatherly). Ultimately, the little girl is the reason Tony quits the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

Fans had been hoping Ziva would return in Tony’s farewell episode. The two had a love story throughout their eight years on “NCIS” together. De Pablo warned viewers she wouldn’t be in the episode, but they still didn’t expect her character to be killed off-screen.

Some felt Ziva simply deserved more. Others took issue with the fact she kept the child secret, which they argued seemed unlike her. Meanwhile, many were just upset that “NCIS” killed yet another beloved character.

salty about ziva dying and tiva not getting a happy ending even if they had a daughter im,,,

@BrooksDslbrooks @zoyaroses @M_Weatherly that's what's so upsetting. There was no reason to kill Ziva except for their agenda...

@NCIS_CBS I'm TOTALLY peeved at them killing Ziva. Was hoping Tony would decide to go be with her.
SO unnecessary!! https://t.co/wbaYjNdlt1

Ziva would've told Tony about Tali. There is no doubt in my mind about that. Ziva loved and respected Tony that much. #NCIS

@M_Weatherly Just wondering. Maybe I missed a memo or something. What part of DEAD ZIVA is supposed to 'excite' us? #NCIS

De Pablo has not commented on Ziva’s death. The actress played the Israeli agent from 2003 to 2013. She said this year she would not return to the CBS procedural without good material for her character. “Until someone can really write something fantastic for her, I won’t go back,” she said during a question-and-answer session at Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, last month.

Although de Pablo has not remarked on her character’s death yet, she is aware of it. Weatherly revealed she was watching his last episode with him Tuesday night.
