'NCIS' boss on Tony and Ziva: 'It's a long road back'

NCIS exec producer Shane Brennan is spilling more details about the Jan. 26 episode titled “Jetlag,” which finds Tony and Ziva traveling to Paris on business and… pleasure?

“The episode puts them in the most romantic city in the world,” he teases, “and it puts them in the same hotel room.”

Yeah, yeah, but does anything actually happen? “There will be a realization that the spark is still there,” he says. “It doesn’t mean that something is going to be resolved, but it does mean that the journey may have started again.

“It’s a long road back,” Brennan adds. “When you think about what they went through, for them to resolve what happened and come to terms with that, it’s a long road back.”

My question for all you restless Tiva fans: Are you willing to wait?
