As the season comes to a close I thought it would be apropos to take a look back at the couples of NCIS past, and possible present.
Tony and Jeanne
- Although originally meant to be part of an undercover operation to
get to "The Frog" it was clear Anthony DiNozzo wished he could have
been Tony DiNardo. As is seen in multiple episodes Tony was deeply in
love with Dr. Jeanne Benoit. It could be said that he spent more time
with her than was necessary to complete his undercover mission. He went
to great lengths to impress her, giving her a candlelight dinner as she
left work, pulling a small table from the back of his car (S04E12
Suspicion). In a conversation with Agent Paula Cassidy, (S04E19 Grace
Period) Tony's feelings come to surface, and the episode ends with Tony
arriving at Jeanne's apartment and tells her that he loves her, tears
rolling down his cheeks to show just how much he does. You can see just
how much Tony's heart has broken when he had to tell Jeanne the truth,
and when the two finally see each other again, (S05E14 Internal
Affairs). It is brought to light in season 6 (E18 Knockout) that he has
been in a slump with women and dating since his break-up with Jeanne
Benoit. Perhaps Ziva is the one that will lead Tony to the end of his
search for the right woman.
Gibbs/Fornell and Diane - Who would have thought that two Federal Agents of relatively high ranking status would have the same taste in women, and the same means to divorce her? Although a noticeable difference is that it would seem that Tobias Fornell, of the FBI, has a more docile relationship with their ex. Could it be because they have a child together? My bet is gonna have to be yes. "Diane look that pissed at you after the divorce? She's looking at me, Tobias." - Fornell and Gibbs outside of the house of their shared ex-wife, while Fornell is picking up his daughter for the weekend. (S04E24 "Angel Of Death")
Gibbs and Jenny - Not much personal information is known about these two. They were working undercover in multiple areas (Russia and Paris are two) and from what we've seen their relationship became more personal than the mission. It is a widely known fact that Gibbs dates (and marries) red-heads, with the exception of Col. Hollis Mann. It is also the same Paris mission that led to the former NCIS Director's death, of which she died protecting Gibbs.
McGee and Abby - Unrequited? Ongoing? Old flames? It's obvious that they dated in season 1 when Timothy McGee first started working with Gibbs' team. It was never known if they actually broke up, or if their break up went smoothely, or rocky. But all signs lead to it being a mutual and/or easy break-up as they still have a strong personal and working friendship.
