CBS' hit police procedural drama TV series "NCIS" Season 13 returns this week with a brand new episode that is slated to see Jon Cryer's reprisal of his surgeon character, Dr. Cyril Taft. Meanwhile, fans are still wondering how Michael Weatherly will depart from the show as Agent DiNozzo.
According to the synopsis from The Futon Critic for the episode called "Loose Cannons," Special NCIS Agent Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) will call on Dr. Taft, where he will be assigned to do a surgery on one of Gibb's suspects.

"What's our next move?" Taft asked Gibbs.
"OUR next move?" the field operative seemed to express his disbelief at the surgeon who now thinks he is part of the whole operation.
The trailer also featured some heartbreaking moments that followers of the long-running series are about to witness.
"Old feelings are coming out," the voice-over for the teaser can be heard saying as Jeanne Benoit (Scottie Thompson), DiNozzo's ex-girlfriend, appeared on a scene. The TFC report says that DiNozzo will visit Benoit while he is on a mission that is coincidentally connected with the kidnapping of doctors in Sudan.
The clip also featured DiNozzo and Benoit's husband talking to each other civilly.
"I see the way she looks at you," the husband said.
"So you know," DiNozzo replied, suggesting that the old flame between him and Benoit is still burning.
Meanwhile, DiNozzo confronted the woman in a different scene where he tells her that if he had one wish, he would want to "turn back the clock." Could Benoit be feeling the same way towards her ex?
