The Story So Far: A Recap of Episode 9
The ninth episode, “Ride or Die,” set the stage for a dramatic finale. Tony was lured into a trap by Jonah and survived an explosion at a building on Isla Zafira. Ziva, along with their allies Boris and Claudette, rescued him. Their reunion was cut short when they received a devastating phone call from Sophie.
Jonah, having gained control of a powerful network, deliberately redirected the flight carrying Tali and her protector, Sophie. After the plane was forced to land, Sophie was attacked and overpowered, leading to Tali’s abduction. The episode ended with Ziva telling Tony that their top priority is now to rescue their daughter.
What to Expect in the “Full Circle” Finale
The finale will focus on Tony and Ziva’s desperate attempt to save Tali and stop Jonah for good. With their daughter’s life at stake, the mission becomes deeply personal. Jonah’s plan involves using the 9.4 software to launch a deadly international attack, forcing Tony and Ziva to take immense risks to prevent it.
A key development is the shifting allegiance of Martine, a character who has worked with Jonah. After seeing him target a child, she appears to have turned against him. She is now expected to work with Tony and Ziva. Furthermore, Dejan Lazar, the creator of the 9.4 software, is revealed to be alive and working with Martine to find a flaw in the system and undermine Jonah’s plan. Their help could be vital in the final showdown.
The Main Cast of Characters
The series features Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo reprising their iconic roles as Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David. They are joined by a supporting cast that includes:
