Ziva resigned from NCIS at the end of season 10, when she returned home to Israel following the murder of her father. In season 13, Tony learned that Ziva died in a mortar attack — and that she had given birth to his child. This prompted him to leave NCIS in order to care for their daughter, Tali.

Tony and Ziva made their Comic-Con debut, with stars Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo showing off a new trailer for the NCIS spinoff.
