Best Answer

Paula Cassidy (portrayed by Jessica Steen) first appears in the episode "Minimum Security". She is a criminal profiler for NCIS. An expert on Middle Eastern terrorists, she worked as an interrogator at Guantanamo Bay.

During "Minimum Security", she develops a romantic relationship with Tony DiNozzo and the two seemingly stayed in contact with each other but after hearing nothing from Tony or possibly due to her anger at Gibbs giving her grief, she broke it off at the end of "Heart Break" and despite Tony's efforts, didn't answer any of his messages.

Following the aftermath of Kate Todd's death, Cassidy temporarily joins Gibbs's team during "Mind Games" and helps in the case of a serial killer as well as tracking down a copycat who was carrying out similar killings.

After becoming a team leader and being assigned to the Pentagon, her team is killed while investigating a suspected terrorist, and she later joins the team to find out who arranged the phone call and the trap that sent her team to their deaths. She also has something of a very hostile relationship with Ziva David, pronouncing Ziva's surname wrong to antagonize her, a trait that Abby had repeated upon meeting Ziva for the first time. It is later revealed that Ziva had been allowing herself to be the target of Cassidy's anger in order to help her through the ordeal of losing her team.

Furthermore, as a result of the bombing, Cassidy is left with psychological scars and begins developing Survivor's guilt, believing herself to be the one responsible for unknowingly sending her team into the trap. She later sacrificed herself to stop a suicide bomber in the episode "Grace Period", thus saving Gibbs, DiNozzo, Ziva, and three Muslim clerics, who were signing fatwās to promote peace in the Middle East.

Her death leaves Tony grief-stricken and finally gave him the courage he needed to tell Jeanne that he loves her. Her portrait was later seen in a bar wall honouring officers who had been killed in the line of duty.
