Brace yourselves, NCIS lovers! Everyone’s favorite forensic scientist, Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), may be returning.

While her exit from the program was met with outrage, recent signs point to a possible return. The episode made a subtle allusion to Abby in a poignant tribute to Ducky, leaving the door open for her comeback.

But how could Abby make her grand entrance? One compelling idea is to tie her return to the upcoming NCIS spinoff, NCIS: Europe. With Tony and Ziva embarking on a thrilling adventure across the continent, Abby could join forces with them, adding her trademark wit and expertise to the mix. Alternatively, a special cameo appearance could be in the cards, offering fans a nostalgic reunion.

Despite Perrette’s previous pronouncements about never returning to NCIS owing to disagreements with her co-stars, the situation has changed. With Mark Harmon’s diminished engagement in the main series, Perrette may reconsider. After all, six years have elapsed since her departure, allowing for fresh opportunities.

Whether Perrette decides to reprise her iconic role or not, the mere prospect of Abby’s return has fans buzzing with excitement. Will she grace our screens once again? Only time will tell.
