Fans were shocked to see “NCIS” season 17, episode 10, titled “North Pole.” In this episode, it was revealed that Sarah is Sahar, the woman who wants Ziva (Cote de Pablo) dead. She moved in next to Gibbs so that she could spy on him and get to Ziva. Sarah used Phineas to gain Gibbs’ trust. It worked, because Gibbs took Phineas under his wing and became like a father to him.
