[[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas Hence his]] [[HeroesWantRedheads attraction to them.]] Also, his daughter Kelly was a redhead, so she had to get the redhead gene from both parents. Jackson Gibbs did not have red hair, as seen in the episode "Heartland", so it had to be a grandparent from ''one'' side of the family at least.

*** Alternatively, they may have simply decided that Senior can't keep the secret and so kept it from him when he visited. Rule 4 says that the best way to keep a secret is to keep it to yourself or one other person IF YOU MUST, and it would be entirely fitting to have Ziva applying the rules to her life, considering that Gibbs told her early on that his job was to teach them to her.

They won't kill him off the way they did with Kate. No no no. Instead, they'll pull a little something like this...his mother is dead. We know that. But how did she die? Well, recently it was suspected that Robert Wagner managed to off his lovely wife NatalieWood by pushing her overboard while she was drunk so she would drown. (Which has always bothered me, since Wood was known to be terrified of the open water, so why would she be on a yacht anyway, drunk or not?) Well, perhaps in-universe they could pull a reference to this and have it so that by the twentieth season finale or whatever ('cause I can see this show easily running as long as the original ''Series/LawAndOrder'', or even longer) we can get a story arc where it's found out that Tony Senior did it, in much the same way, and Tony Junior will be forced to arrest his own father. After which point he'll be [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness so shocked by what has happened]] that he'll just decide to retire from [=NCIS=] - and not return the way Gibbs did between seasons three and four.

Illya Kuryakin was the cover identity of a young British doctor-turned-MI-6-agent named Donald Mallard. He was exposed as a spy in the mid to late 1960's, though his actual identity was never revealed. He subsequently retired from MI-6 and went back to his medical career, eventually becoming the medical examiner at NCIS.

* Ducky's history is largely a mystery, so, really, it's possible. And so was Illya's. His backstory was never explored in any detail on TheManFromUNCLE ; even the first-season episode in which it's strongly implied that Illya holds a commission in the Soviet Navy could be a RedHerring.
