Season 11 of NCIS brought some major changes to the show, including Ziva David's departure as well as Ellie Bishop's appearance, and fans will be able to see how it all ends on the finale.

NCIS To Return For Season 12

CBS announced that the season finale will air on Tuesday, May 13 at its regular time.

Previously announced spoilers indicate that the last episode will feature a big moment for Tony DiNozzo, who at the beginning of the season was devastated that his love Ziva left the NCIS team for good.

"I'd really like to focus on and come up with something for the season finale that has a strong Tony element to it - in fact, we're about to sit down and talk about that," Executive Producer Gary Glasberg told TV Line.

Yet, Tony won't be the only character in focus -- NCIS will also acknowledge the passing of actor Ralph Waite with a memorable moment on the season finale.

"[Showrunner] Gary Glasberg and the writers are working on something special to address the passing of Ralph Waite in the season finale," said a CBS spokesperson, "to honor both the memory of Ralph, as well as the character of Jackson Gibbs."

Waite, a veteran actor whose career spanned over 50 years, died on Feb. 13 at the age of 85. He starred in NCIS as Leroy Jethro Gibbs' father.
