TVLine.com reported that actress Marisol Nichols, who plays ATF Agent Zoe Keates, will reappear in early 2015 for an "encore." The actress first popped up in an October episode and Tony certainly didn't seem to mind her company. The show's heartthrob, played by Michael Weatherly, and Zoe had worked together years prior at the Philly PD.

Emily Wickersham, who stars as newcomer Ellie Bishop, told the website that Tony and Zoe had "really great chemistry," adding that, "Tony's love life definitely unfolds."

Over the summer, Glasberg also said that "it's time for Tony to continue to grow a little bit." He added, "He went through a lot last year emotionally and tried to deal with Ziva's departure as he could."

Ziva David emotionally left the CBS show back in October despite Tony's attempt to get her to come back to the U.S. with him. The character was left heartbroken.

"We'll be mature about it and handle it properly, and Michael's excited about it," Glasberg said.
