There are many characters from NCIS past that we would love to see return. Emily Wickersham is one of them. However, it’s unlikely that Elle Bishop will come back to the flagship team. That doesn’t mean she can’t return to a series within the universe.
The most obvious option appears to be for her to turn up in NCIS: Tony & Ziva. It all comes down to the fact that Bishop is now working with Odette, who Ziva worked with off the books.
Could Bishop know of the threat coming after Tony & Ziva?
Based on some of the comments about NCIS: Tony & Ziva, it looks like there is a threat coming after the family. Not only do Tony and Ziva need to go on the run around Europe, but they will need to take their tween daughter Tali.
What better way to alert them to danger than through Bishop. Considering Odette’s connection to Ziva, it would make sense for Ziva to still be in contact with the woman. However, Odette may not have a safe way to get to Ziva alone. It would make more sense for her to send Bishop to warn Ziva.
This would be a great reunion for Tony as well. He worked with Bishop after Ziva’s exit. We know that he would trust something Bishop had to say compared to a woman he’s never met. So, he would take it seriously and get Tali out of dodge as quickly as possible.
There is no word of Bishop coming into NCIS: Tony & Ziva
As of right now, there is no word on whether Bishop will come into the series or not. This is one of those shows that has kept a lot quiet, with the series even not sharing if we’ll see familiar faces from the flagship series. There are even questions about whether there will be crossover episodes and there has been no word on that.
It would be great to see Bishop come into the series, though. Maybe it’s not Bishop coming to Tony and Ziva to share that they are in danger. Maybe Odette could send her to Ziva at a later point in the series to give some sort of update or information. It would be a great way to get an update on where Bishop is and how she’s working with Odette now. After all, that exit left far more questions than it should have done.
