Okay but hear me out⦠The Wine Theory šš·
Tony in A Desperate Man 9x13: [When asked if he ever married] āAlmost. Onceā¦.It was that [being a cop]⦠and the red wine.ā
Red. Wine. A tiny throwaway line, right?
Ziva in T&Z 1x03: āMerlot always got me in a lot of trouble.ā
Are we really supposed to believe thatās coincidence?
So either:
a) the writers accidentally stumbled into the most poetic callback of all time, or
b) the āred wineā has always been Ziva, or
c) itās symbolic and their relationship is aging like wine
