With the team back together and fully on the same page, it’s time for the punishments to be dealt out. Here’s what to expect in NCIS Season 17, Episode 4.

With the team back together, you just knew there would be a moment where McGee, Bishop, and Torres would be punished for their lies, right? That’s going to happen in NCIS Season 17, Episode 4, but it will certainly offer some bonding time for the group.

What does Vance have in mind? It’s only going to involve cleaning up the evidence garage. Just how much are they going to end up reminiscing over or telling their stories about, especially since there will be a lot of cases that Torres won’t know about?

But within the side storyline, there’s a murder investigation. A bizarre crime scene at Arlington National Cemetery. Why does this bring in the team? It could be connected to the string of attacks on homeless veterans around the area. Will the team be able to find the person or people responsible before there are any more attacks?

If you think this seems to be ripped from the current headlines, remember that this episode was filmed back in July and August. However, it is going to bring the reminder that there are so many homeless veterans out there who need help.

More importantly, there are a lot of questions about Ziva. Is that it for her guest star stint in NCIS Season 17? There was certainly a great ending, but plenty has been left unsaid. Most importantly, will we get the reunion between Ziva and Tony on our screens?
