When Diona Reasonover watches "NCIS" at home, along with millions of other viewers, she's avoided certain spoilers and has been shocked by some major plot twists. The secret? Fake script endings that don't give away the real denouements of every case.
In a behind-the-scenes featurette for the "NCIS" 450th episode, Reasonover said of the show's writers, "They really keep me in the dark. Sometimes, I'm not even kidding, they write fake scripts and give me a fake script." This means that when Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) returned on the Season 16 finale "Daughters" to warn Gibbs about Sahar (Mouzam Makkar), Reasonover had no idea. "I totally had the fake ending, I did not know she was coming back, I was sitting there watching it with the rest of America."
Luckily the actress seems to enjoy that the writers don't let her in on these revelations. She said, laughing, "I looked so silly!"
