Legend Part 2 is the twenty-third episode in NCIS Season 6 and the 136th episode of the entire NCIS series.

This episode along with "Legend Part 2" served as the two backdoor pilot episodes for the spin-off series NCIS: Los Angeles.

Synopsis

In Los Angeles, Gibbs and McGee, along with the NCIS Office of Special Projects, continue their search for a terrorist cell that is located somewhere in downtown L.A., but they face a battle on their hands and a race against the clock as Mossad Officer Michael Rivkin is searching for the same cell. Back in Washington D.C., Tony, fearing Ziva's loyalty may not be towards NCIS, begins conducting a top-secret investigation into Ziva's activities, one that could ultimately jeopardize their partnership.

Trivia

  • Despite being credited, both David McCallum and Rocky Carroll do not appear in this episode. In addition, until Season 15 this was the only NCIS episode that did not have McCallum in it.
  • When Tony and Ziva are heading up to MTAC, Ziva's shirt regularly changes positions, draping on her shoulder, off one shoulder and even going off both shoulders at one point before it reverts back to normal just as she and Tony arrive in MTAC.
  • During the episode, Ziva remarks that no beverages are allowed in MTAC. However, this contradicts the fact that Gibbs has been seen bringing coffee in MTAC many times although it's possible that the rule could have changed after Vance became NCIS Director.
  • This episode along with "Legend Part 1" are included on the NCIS: Los Angeles Season 1 DVD.
