Ziva and Tony's much-awaited reunion on NCIS almost happened in Season 17, but fans were disappointed as it didn't materialize. Their relationship, nicknamed "Tiva" by fans, started in Season 3 when they went undercover as a couple. Ziva faked her death in Season 13 to protect her family, but Tony found out they had a daughter together and left the team to take care of her. In Season 16, it was revealed that Ziva had survived the explosion and faked her death. In Season 17, they finally reunited off-screen and settled down in Paris with their daughter. The actress Cote de Pablo left the show due to creative differences, while Michael Weatherly left to pursue other projects. There is a possibility that the characters might reunite onscreen in the future.
