News of Michael Weatherly making the exit once "NCIS" season 13 ends got several fans brokenhearted. At the same time, it left many to speculate what will happen to his character, the fan-favorite Tony Dinozzo, and how he will make his exit.

There are speculations that Dinozzo will be assigned to a different Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) office, which will force him to say goodbye to his longtime teammates. There are also rumors stating that he will meet his demise.

New speculations have surfaced recently and such involve Dinozzo's ex, Jeanne Benoit, played by Scottie Thompson. 

Thompson will return as a guest star in the episode, titled "Loose Cannons," which will air on Feb. 23. In this episode, Tony is said to visit Jeanne after he finds a lead in a case involving doctors in Sudan. The two are expected to work hard together on the case, TVLine reported. Now, rumors suggest that there will be sparks once again between them.

However, it should be noted that Thompson's character is already married. With this, there are speculations that it's either Jeanne's husband, David (David Chisum), is cheating on her, or he gets killed.
