I thought that was really beautiful. Both characters are… It's very funny how Tony and Ziva always surprise me because the moment you feel Ziva's going to go someplace, Tony's right there, sort of emotionally going through it. And the moment you think Tony's going to go through it, Ziva's going through it. So, sort of like they're doing the feeling for each other. You know, in a way, they sort of complete each other. And that's kind of the beauty of it. I think it's the reason why it works and the reason why the fans were always sort of invested. I think Tony's really able to see past all of that kind of strong defense mechanism that she has, which is the shutdown defense mechanism, the "you're not going to see anything, I'm not going to give you anything" kind of thing. And he gets to see through that. And I think it's the same thing for her. She gets to see past all of that kind of "I'm really funny and I'm going to deflect" defense mechanism [that Tony has]. And yeah, I mean, they see the wounds in each other. And in spite of that, they love each other.
