The last episode before the 300th episode, "NCIS" Season 13, Episode 17 titled "After Hours," will be a refreshing take on the agents' lives.
In a report by Carter Matt, it said that "NCIS" Season 13, Episode 17 is "an episode that we've wanted to see for a rather long period of time" as it is set to present a "different side" to some characters, including what some agents do when they are not at work. Hence, the report added that "After Hours" will be definitely filled a lot of fun.
"Margo Harshman is going to return, Tony will have a date, and we're going to see them scramble to try to correct some past mistakes," Carter Matt wrote.
Carter Matt also added that while there could be some serious notes in the episode, there would be plenty of humor. It also expects that the story will shed more light to Tony DiNozzo's story and why the character will be leaving the team.
It was previously reported that DiNozzo's ex-lover Jeanne Benoit played by Scottie Thompson may be the key to how the show would write-off Michael Weatherly's character. It has already been confirmed that DiNozzo and Benoit will be reuniting in "Loose Cannons" and "After Hours" as DiNozzo would need the help of Benoit in chasing a lead involving doctors in Sudan.
It is speculated that DiNozzo may be leaving the team for Benoit and the two may reconnect again. As to how since Benoit is married already, reports say that it could be possible that Benoit's husband may be cheating on her or may be keeping a secret that could lead to his death.
This is the official synopsis of "NCIS" Season 13, Episode 17 titled "After Hours:" "The NCIS agents' personal plans are interrupted when each of them catches errors in a seemingly cut-and-dried closed case. Also, McGee and Delilah argue over the importance of not discussing work during dinner, while DiNozzo bores his date with shop talk."
