Just how exciting will NCIS' season 11 penultimate episode be? According to Michael Weatherly, the actor who plays Tony DiNozzo, it's going to be a big deal.

The 45-year-old recently told TVLine.com that it's his "favorite episode in a long time, one where I got to do some other things."

During the episode, Tony will escort an admiral's wild daughter (Meg Chambers Steedle) from Marseilles, France, to the United States. The short episode teaser, shows that on the trip the NCIS agent will encounter a few problems. For example, Tony and the admiral's daughter are held at gunpoint and later Gibbs tells Vance that Tony never made it to the border.

It will be "charade-style fun - sort of like Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn on the run," Weatherly also told the website.

The Tony-centric episode will lead into the emotional season finale. The last episode will tribute the late Ralph Waite. Waite, a veteran actor whose career spanned over 50 years, died on Feb. 13 at the age of 85. He recurred on the CBS show as the father of Gibbs, played by Mark Harmon.

"We've talked about [the episode] since Ralph's passing, and I think we've come up with a really great crime story that will bookend into the passing of Jackson Gibbs," executive producer Gary Glasberg told Entertainment Weekly. "That's going to be a really emotional storyline that Mark Harmon has been involved with since day 1."

The NCIS season 11 finale will air on Tuesday, May 13 at 8/7c.
