The episode this season that has crackled with the most interpersonal sparks was ”Sandblast”. The reason for the sizzle (besides DiNozzo peering down Ziva’s shirt while she deactivates a bomb) was one Army Lt. Col. Hollis Mann, who Ziva dubbed “Gibbs[’s] … fourth ex-wife.” Gibbs and Mann certainly have a charged simpatico: both are headstrong and smart, both are guarded, and both certainly interested in each other. “Sandblast” overtly set up the collaboration between Gibbs and Mann in “Sharif Returns” and we are not disappointed.
"A sinister cabal of superior writers."
