NCIS: Who survived the explosion?
By finale’s end, it looked as though everyone’s lives were in danger after a bomb detonated at NCIS headquarters — even Ducky’s (David McCallum), and he was a thousand miles away on a beach in Florida! What gives? “I’m not gonna massage it,” says exec producer Gary Glasberg. “David signed a contract to come back. The goal is to give him an opportunity to play something different. We talked about Ducky’s heart attack for a long time.” And although several cast members (including Pauley Perrette and Michael Weatherly) are still in negotiation for Season 10, it looks like the rest of the team will make it through as well. There won’t be a new set, either: “You’ll see caution tape and repairs, but the building survived.” That’s not to say the blast won’t have its repercussions. Tony (Weatherly) and Ziva (Cote de Pablo) will find themselves in an interesting position when the show returns. “It wasn’t an accident to put them in the elevator [at the end],” says Glasberg. —Chris Willman

Is NCIS getting new digs next year? — Jennifer, via Twitter
ADAM: Not really, but the cleanup of the team that will be more significant, says executive producer Gary Glasberg “There are psychological ramifications that will carry over,” he says, in particular Ducky’s heart attack. “How will that affect his character as a medical examiner and his approach to dealing with the dead? How might it change him and the way he views things?” he asks.

TNT’s forthcoming Closer spinoff, Major Crimes, has collared its first high-profile guest star: Michael Weatherly.
The NCIS vet will appear in an early Season 1 episode as Arthur “Thorn” Woodson, a charming con artist who currently works as an ”intuitive life strategist” for a group of Israeli mob wives (all of whom he is bedding). Described as a “Peter Pan with an A.D.D. problem,” Thorn previously held down jobs as a hand model, a ventriloquist and a black jack dealer. His dream is to someday land his own show on Oprah Winfrey’s fledgling cable net OWN.
“Arvin Brown is directing, he’s done many NCIS episodes,” Weatherly tweeted of the gig.
Major Crimes is set to premiere on Monday, Aug. 13 at 10/9c immediately following the series finale of The Closer.
The news comes as Weatherly continues to negotiate a new contract with NCIS. His currently deal expired at the end of the just-wrapped ninth season. (His co-stars, Pauley Perrette and Sean Murray, are also hammering out new pacts.)
Earlier this month, NCIS exec producer Gary Glasberg expressed confidence that “it will all work out.”
