The world of NCIS completely shifted with its milestone 500th episode earlier this season: After 18 seasons, Rocky Carroll exited when Director Leon Vance was killed in the line of duty. It just hasn’t been the same since, as the team grieves and a permanent replacement has yet to be named; there’s only been an interim director and, as the agents noted, they expect five more temps before someone permanent. But now it sounds like another shakeup is coming at the end of the season.

“This season was a tumultuous one for our show because of the 500th episode, of losing Director Vance,” Brian Dietzen told TV Insider at CBS Fest on Wednesday, April 15. “The finale, I got to say, I’m not going to say it’s the same as the 500, but there’s echoes of it. And people are not going to want to miss the last, what, five minutes of this show because it has the potential to change a lot within our universe yet again.”
