re the "baby shower" sneak peek/video clip:
unless this episode takes place 5 months from when Tim & Delilah got married (last week), I absolutely agree with McGee!
slow down, "Blabby Abby!!" baby showers are usually thrown during the 3rd trimester - not right after the announcement of the pregnancy is made!
and contrary to what she said to Tim, it most definitely does involve him and his wife if it concerns a baby shower for them... like he said, travel plans for Delilah's sister, availability schedules to be checked, etc., etc....
as usual, "Blabby" continues to annoy with her childish behavior... will she ever stop annoying me? probably not!
it would be soooo nice if she would just stop acting like a silly, silly, silly child, but I doubt that's gonna' happen any time soon... [sigh]

nas She refuses to see beyond the end of her own nose making everything about her. What Abby wants she always gets. Ya know, she's not the only problem, all the people around her need to be held accountable too because they always let her get by with the behavior by giving in to her.
When my niece (now 31) and nephew (now 23) were little they'd occasionally have tantrums in public places - like department stores - when they wanted something and Auntie Joni said "no". I'd walk a bit away so they couldn't see me but I could still see them. When I didn't give in they learned the behavior was useless with me and guess what? It ceased. Over time they stopped pulling that behavior with me altogether. It seems no one ever has done this with Abby.

in this case Bishop and Quinn are just as guilty as "Blabby" for going along with her plans to have this baby shower waaaay too soon!
quick!! somebody get them a book on the Rules of Etiquette for throwing Showers...

NCIS Bosses Frank Cardea and George Schenck on the Season 14 Finale and What Lies Ahead by Paulette Cohn {Spoiler Warning - Click Here}How do you follow up Tim McGee (Sean Murray) and Delilah Fielding’s (Margo Harshman) surprise wedding in the penultimate episode of NCIS‘s 14th season? You send the team — Gibbs (Mark Harmon), McGee, and Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) — to Paraguay to recover body parts from a missing Navy SEAL, who disappeared during an unsanctioned trip to South America in the action-packed hour that closes out the season.
The investigation begins in Washington, D.C., where the team discovers that the SEAL wasn’t in Paraguay by himself, and as they start putting it together, through modern technology, they realize that he may still be alive. That’s when they decide to go down and get him.
“By a fingerprint, he’s identified as a SEAL, whose wife thought he was on vacation fishing in Canada,” says showrunner Frank Cardea. “We have to inform her that he’s in Paraguay, or at least part of him was. Then we realize that he might still be alive, and that’s when three members of our team go down there to find him. When they get down there, the investigation takes a huge turn in a direction no one expected.”
“It’s a story like the one with the computer,” adds showrunner George Schenck. “It starts where it’s just a mystery of a missing Navy SEAL, but when we get there, it turns out to be a much bigger story. What he was involved in, we have no idea. It leads to a really excited climax, which we don’t want to reveal, but it’s a cliffhanger.”
During our conversation, Schenck and Cardera also reveal that the cliffhanger will be concluded in the first episode back, what their concerns were when they took over as showrunners this year, they also talk about FaceTiming with former cast member Michael Weatherly, we get their predictions for Season 15, and more.
When you first took over after showrunner Gary Glasberg died, what was your biggest concern?
Frank: We have a real family here. George and I have been here since Season 1. Most of the crew has been here since Season 1. It was a real tragedy losing Gary at such an early age [50]. The family just all pulled together like families do in these situations. Our concern was to just keep the quality of the show up. That was our goal.
George: If it had been a Season 1 or 2 show, trying to find itself, but we all know what the show is and just keeping it going is all we had to do.
Frank: We had just recently introduced three new characters — Clayton Reeves (Duane Henry), Nick Torres, and Alex Quinn (Jennifer Esposito) — and they still hadn’t really found their legs yet. In the tradition of NCIS, we helped those characters become who they were by the end of the season.
I’ve talked to several of the cast, who said with all of the new characters this season, they almost feel like it’s a new show. How do you think the show’s doing without the DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) character?
George: Without a doubt, it’s a loss.
Frank: There was no replacing Michael either in front of the camera or behind the camera. Michael was a huge part of the family. He gave us 13 great years and we all wish him well. He even FaceTimes with the cast on a regular basis and some of the crew members. In the middle of the day, someone will come up and hand you a phone and there’s Michael’s face. He’s a great guy. I think the show has held up. In their own way, the new characters found different aspects of being… Wilmer has a lot of that same mischief, but he’s a totally different person.
George: The formula is to, hopefully, tell a good mystery, a good story, in which our characters are always themselves. We always say when you’re on a stakeout, the two people that are in the car, the banter between them, the relationships, those things are always going on, so we get to know our characters as they do what they do.
Does having the new characters give you fresh story ideas?
Frank: It definitely does. George and I have been here for a lot of years. We’ll be known to pitch an idea for an episode and one of the younger writers will say, “I think we did that episode in Season 3 and I think you guys wrote it.” It’s like, “Oh, I thought it sounded familiar.”
We haven’t seen too much of Clayton Reeves this season. Since this finale is an international episode, any chance he’ll be back for that?
George: Just about everybody is in this episode.
Frank: He most certainly will. As I’ve been telling people, I wouldn’t miss the last five minutes. There’s a twist in the last five minutes.
So Torres doesn’t seem to be a man to follow orders. I’m curious; do you think Gibbs sees his younger self in Torres perhaps?
Frank: Just a little bit. In the episode two weeks ago, in an elevator scene, they share that they both have many secrets that have Band-Aids covering things.
George: There are some similarities.
Frank: The Torres character has changed since the beginning of the season. At the beginning of the year, he was pretty much a loner who had been on undercover for so long, he didn’t know how to part of a team. He’s become more and more a part of the team as the season progressed. By the final episode, you’ll see that he’s embraced the brotherhood of the NCIS team.
With all these characters now, is it hard to give everybody screen time?
Frank: It can be. There are episodes where not everybody is completely featured. When Michael left, he was really replaced by three people. Reeves is not a full time character. Some of them have slightly less screen time. They all understand that. Hopefully, when they are on screen, it’s meaningful.
Quinn seems to have some secrets. Do we know them all, or will more be revealed?
Frank: We discovered a couple of weeks ago that she has a mother who’s a concern of hers and is going to consume a little of her time. Quinn is a character that is more of an adult than most of the others. She trained most of the agents that she works with.
Right, but there’s all these little teases about her romantic entanglements in the past.
Frank: Our show has been great about doing that over the seasons. We’ll drop a little nugget; maybe not get back to it for a dozen episodes or so. Then you’ll find out why we did that. Sometimes we don’t know why we did it.
Season 14 was pretty much laid out when Gary Glasberg passed. Going into next season, it’s all you. What do you predict?
Frank: I think the seasons where the show really cooked well was in Seasons 6-10 when it was stories with humor but with…
George: …good mystery and more stand-alone episodes than two or three-parters. Not that we may not do one if one deems that it’s worth it. I think more stand-alone episodes and fun mysteries. Characters having fun.
Frank: Probably towards the end of the season, maybe the last four or five episodes, we may fall into an arc.
The NCIS Season 14 finale airs Tuesday, May 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

Could do my notes as my handyman stopped by to do a small project (would have been weeks before he could return). I was able to watch most but not sit at my computer and note. I'll just post what I tweeted just now.
Whoa! Please don't time jump! #NCIS @ncis_CBS - pick up exactly where this left off anything else would be a letdown.

Personally not sure about this episode. Going to have to re-watch it and digest it. A better season final than some, but something bother's me about this, and it isn't just Abby.

TBH I'd be a little weirded out if my husband's crazy ex wanted to throw me a baby shower. I'm not one of those high maintenance chicks but I wouldn't trust Abby.

It's another one of those Abby wants what Abby wants and pouts until everyone gives in rather than deal with her wrath.
FYI: No clue why this episode was her hardest day ever at work. Nothing there to be that upset about. No one died. No one left.

I'm pretty sure she just hates that they're done filming for two months. Pauley's always said that she loves her job (I think she even has a t-shirt that says that) and the cast and crew are like family.

haven't seen the episode yet - will watch tomorrow and make comments...
in response to your "hardest day ever at work" comment, NewBe: easy answer: don'tcha know? PP is a "Drama Queen" - pure and simple! (just like her character, "Blabby")

Has it been mentioned if, while filming this episode, they did any filming for "to be continued"? I saw them say they would pick up where this left off, bit like they did the other year. Was I the only one who thought it was going to be McGee at risk and that PP knew Sean wasn't coming back, hence her "hardest day ever" tweet? I guess that scenario could still play out IF they did film extra scenes before going on the break. It could also mean having so many new people this year, would even out next season and we'd be used to all the new ones and not need to get used to the introduction of another new face so soon after this season. I think season 15 will be the last, not that I am ready to let it go if Mark stays, I still rise at 3.30am to download and watch in the UK, unlike CSI with that I was longing for Billy to leave so I did not have to watch, I did stop getting up to D/L that.

@ mchnelson
I would be absolutely shocked - SHOCKED!! - if Sean Murray didn't return next season...
there's never been any mention of him being unhappy on the show (not even a hint of such a thing)... on the contrary, he seems very happy being a part of the "NCIS family "...
besides, where would he go? NCIS has basically been his entire acting career, with the exception of his appearance in Hocus Pocus when he was a kid, and a few guest appearances on a couple of other t.v. shows before becoming a regular on NCIS...
imo, Sean Murray will be on the show 'til it pulls the plug, whenever that is...

Job wise if Sean did decide to leave it might be a smart move to go before the end of the series, like MW, it then looks like it is his choice to leave and do other things, rather than "Oh! the show has ended I need another job". Money wise he should be made for life, well the kind of life most people live. Not saying he is leaving, just wondering aloud.

Oh, Joy, another cliff hanger. It wasn't a bad episode, just not one I will particularly remember.

NCIS will still be on Tuesday at the same time next season, no change to Bull and NOLA time slots either.
