After a three week break, NCIS Season 17 is back with the winter premiere. Here’s everything to expect in NCIS Season 17, Episode 11 based on the synopsis.

NCIS is back after its winter break. The winter premiere will pick up off the back of the finale, bringing the consequences of Gibbs’ actions. Here’s a look at the NCIS Season 17, Episode 11 synopsis to get an idea of what to expect.

We’ll also take a look at a couple of the sneak peeks from the episode. After all, the synopsis tells us nothing.

Take a look at the synopsis below to see what we’re working with for this post:

"Gibbs must face the reality of his actions after he assists Ziva with “the one thing” she said she would need to take care of before returning to her family."

In CBS’ defense, the synopsis was released before we’d seen the winter finale. We had no idea that Ziva’s case was going to be wrapped up in the one episode, and that during “Into the Wind,” we’d deal with the aftermath; the consequences of Gibbs’ actions. It’s not that Gibbs regrets his actions, but he doesn’t like how the entire situation played out.

Gibbs killed Phineas’ mother, who turned out to be the Sahar who was after Ziva. Her cover name wasn’t exactly ingenious, being Sarah, but we were all still fooled. (Although, you’re not telling me that you didn’t suspect something would happen to ruin the great thing going on between Gibbs and Phineas, right?)

Well, Phineas has now run away. That’s understandable with everything that’s happened, but Gibbs doesn’t find out right away. Gibbs also wants Ziva to head to Paris to be with Tony and Tali (a reunion we need to see), but that’s not going to happen right away, is it? There’s going to be something that keeps Ziva around for the winter premiere.

Check out sneak peek one and sneak peek two for the episode to get more of an idea of what to expect.
