Minimum Security - S1-E8

Visible crew/equipment: When Nasser is brought to the interrogation room he raises his handcuffed arms and Gibbs nods no to removing them.

Visible crew/equipment: When Agent Fornell follows Gibbs for a private chat (in the elevator) there's an overhead long shot of Caitlin, Tony, and Fornell's two agents.

Show generally

Question: I finally saw the 2-part episode from the show JAG. Does anyone know what happened to Viv Blackadder? I don't recall hearing anyone ever mention the name on NCIS.

Answer: I hadn't seen the backdoor pilots yet but while it wasn't explicitly stated, at least onscreen, I heard somewhere Vivian got either fired from NCIS due to jeopardizing a case, got resigned from the agency, or transferred to the FBI.

Answer: I dont believe it is ever mentioned, but like most pilot episodes the characters are often changed, replaced or even removed in this case.
