I think it will be chain-yanking. DPB has said repeatedly that he doesn't plan to get into a Mac/Harm situation with NCIS. If (heavens forfend) Ziva and Tony did hook up (not that I remotely believe that such a thing is possible), it would have been a one-time, huge mistake kind of thing. Probably Gibbs-related in some way.

Please pass the lube.
