Not quite. The CIA killed someone else that died earlier in the season, but they wanted the guy who killed Ziva's dad and the Director's wife to be blamed for it. So, they didn't want Ziva's and Gibbs to arrest the guy who killed the loved ones and find out he didn't d the other murders. Meanwhile, the sent Gibbs on a super secret mission so he wouldn't have to testify about all the things he has done. I don't think his target is going to end up being Fornell. I think it's going to be whoever Fornell is protecting.

It DOES seem unlikely that he's there to kill Fornell.

So the CIA was cool with Ziva accidentally tossing the dude off the ship and Tom Hanks' kid is a bit of a rogue?

Yeah, I can't seeing this show doing that, and it did look like Fornell was protecting someone still in the car.

Yes, to the second question, but as to the first, it's not really clear. They're mad at her for going after the dude in the first place. Note that I'm not claiming that any of this makes sense or is good storytelling. I mainly still watch NCIS to see what Abby will be wearing; I still really want her apron from a couple weeks ago.

Well, it is the CIA. No one knows what they're up to.

edit: I watch it for Tony and Tim snarking at each other. "You're a car killer, Tony."

Why are they upset for her going after a guy they didn't want questioned? Letting him frolic around living the high-life on blood diamonds while carrying a secret that could ruin them really wasn't the best long-term solutiong, CIA.

I still watch it because I love each and every one of them whether they make any damn sense or not. And, omg Tony and Ziva, kiss already.

I figure Tony and Ziva got drunk one night, think they had sex, are horrified with themselves and pretending it never happened. I don't see as much UST as I used to, and more "Can I really trust you to be someone I want to hold on to?"

I do like Ziva better than Kate (though Kate only had two seasons to develop). Ziva being in Tony's face about sex is much less grating than Kate being prim and horrified all the time.

edit: thought Gibb's Alternate Universe with Tony and Kate having a kid was hysterical.

Okay, so the end of the first half of the Elementary finale: I DO NOT like this twist. Not at all.

I kind of enjoyed the twist. and the plot as a whole.

But, in line with the show's apparent general inability to do basic research, currency does not work like that. The Denar would not drop in value to zero just because the nation was about to convert to euros. The majority of Denars like the majority of all money would be electronic entries, and after the conversion those electronic entries would simply be converted to euros either at a fixed rate or according to a formula - in either case negotiated before admission. Actual paper currency would be exchangeable at the same rate or by the same formula for a generous period of time after the euro became the official currency. Depending on whether joining the euro was expected to be beneficial or harmful to the economy, the Denar would undergo a small increase or decrease in value once admission became likely. But it would not drop by a great deal prior to admission, and if it dropped slightly the increase upon failure of admission would be equally small. Normally such a deal would not be made in the first place unless the conventional wisdom was that it would be beneficial, meaning the Denar would rise slightly once it became clear that the referendum was likely to pass, and would fall slightly after an unexpected failure.

The "London" scenes that were shot a few blocks from my home annoyed me.

These two are one of my biggest platonic ships. They're so great together.
